iPhone, “invention of the year”

November 3rd, 2007 by Álvaro Arregui

 

iPhone has been named “Invention of the Year” by TIME Magazine. This prestigious magazine points five reasons for this title awarded to iPhone:

  1. The iPhone is pretty: Most high-tech companies don’t take design seriously. They treat it as an afterthought, secondary.
  2. It’s tactile: Apple didn’t invent the touchscreen but they have knew how to emphasize it more than other companies.
  3. It will make other phones get better: Most manufacturers of mobiles have just realized of the iPhone’s success.
  4. It’s not a phone, it’s a platform: We will soon have an SDK for third-party applications, in addition to the “non-official” that already exits. iPhone can only grow up.
  5. It is the shadow of iPhones yet to come: iPhone has had a great success and, because of that, it has came to stay. Future generations of iPhone will have more features, more innovative technologies, more and more cheaper…
