Apple makes the iPhone, which was first introduced in January 2007. Steve Jobs unveiled the device at Macworld in San Francisco, presenting it as a combination of a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and an internet communicator.
The original iPhone went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007. It used a multi-touch interface and removed the physical keyboard found on many competing smartphones at the time. The product became the center of Apple’s mobile ecosystem.
Apple began in 1976 as a personal-computer company founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. Its later expansion into phones, tablets, wearables, services, and computers helped make it one of the world’s largest companies by market capitalization.
