Which company launched the first iPhone in 2007?

Apple launched the first iPhone in 2007.

Steve Jobs introduced the device on January 9, 2007, at the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. Apple described it as a combination of a widescreen iPod, a mobile phone, and an internet communications device. The first iPhone went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007.

Its notable features included a multi-touch display, visual voicemail, a web browser, and integration with iTunes. The original model supported cellular data over EDGE networks and did not include the App Store, which arrived with a later software update in 2008.

The first iPhone is sometimes confused with the first smartphone ever made. Smartphones existed before 2007, including devices from IBM, Nokia, and BlackBerry. Apple’s importance was its particular combination of touch interaction, software, media, and mobile internet.
