THE ‘’INVENTION OF THE YEAR’’ DEBUTED

Creation of the first iPhone touchscreen: Interview with Scott Forstall

On January 9, 2007, Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs unveils the
iPhone
—a touchscreen mobile phone with an iPod, camera
and Web-browsing capabilities, among other features—at
the Macworld convention in
San Francisco.

Jobs, dressed in his jeans and black mock turtleneck, called
the iPhone a “revolutionary and magical product that is literally
five years ahead of any other mobile phone.”

When it went on sale in the United States six months later, on
June 29, amidst huge hype, thousands of customers lined up
at Apple stores across the country to be among the first to
purchase an iPhone.

In November 2007, by which point more than 1.4 million
iPhones had been sold—Time magazine named the sleek,
4.8-ounce device, originally available in a 4GB, $499 model
and an 8GB, $599 model, its invention of the year.
