Apple have recently celebrated a milestone birthday \u201d\u201c this summer marks 10 years since the launch of the revolutionary iPhone. After a decade with the device, it\u2019s hard to remember what life was before the App store, FaceTime and iMessage. We have had plenty of different versions; each more aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly than the last but, how has the ever-popular iPhone changed the world?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before we could get our hands on the iPhone, we had separate devices for taking photos, making calls and listening to music. Now, we don\u2019t have to as everything we need is in one compact little package. What can\u2019t your iPhone do!<\/p>\n
Taking self-portraits has been around for as long as we can remember, but Apple\u2019s front facing camera changed the game! It became much easier to find your best angle and lighting so you could take countless photos of yourself before finding the right one.<\/p>\n
The process of downloading and using apps has become so much easier since the launch of the App Store for iPhone. Nowadays, we have apps for just about anything \u201d\u201c and it has created some of the most valuable businesses in the world. The likes of Snapchat<\/a> and Uber<\/a> have become possible \u201d\u201c and incredibly profitable – thanks to the introduction of Apple\u2019s iPhone.<\/p>\n Do you remember the struggle of dial-up internet connections? We couldn\u2019t be further away from this now, and the iPhone helped to ensure consumers have internet connection at their disposal at all times. Whether you\u2019re updating your social media feed or checking out a YouTube video, anything internet-related it just a tap away.<\/p>\n The iPhone paved the way for touchscreens becoming the norm. Over a decade ago, we still had physical buttons or keyboards whereas now, most smartphones will come with a touchscreen and built in, on screen keyboard. Over time, we have become more accustomed to this and of course, learned the art of emojis. Not only that, it has pushed manufacturers into making phones thinner and more user-friendly.<\/p>\n Opening singular messages one by one and trying to remember what you had sent is a thing of the past thanks to the iPhone. Seeing your messages in a thread had made things so much more convenient for users!<\/p>\n Just about everything you could need lives on your iPhone. Contactless payment and Apple Pay have helped to make paying for anything that bit easier than carrying cash or entering your pin. UberEATS<\/a> and Deliveroo<\/a>\u00a0have made it even more convenient for you to order in food; or you can pay for your meal out through your phone. And the world of dating has never been the same thanks to Apple \u201d\u201c the likes of Bumble<\/a> and Tinder<\/a> have become increasingly popular but they wouldn\u2019t be here without Steve Jobs and his brainchild.<\/p>\n The Apple iPhone has changed just about everything in our day to day life! With at least 1.2 billion units sold in its first 10 years, it is the most successful product of all time. It\u2019s no wonder TIME Magazine<\/a> called it the most influential gadget of all time. We love a new announcement for an iPhone and the iPhone 7 didn\u2019t disappoint. Want to get your hands on the iPhone 7 model?
