Apple owns the iPhone, which Steve Jobs introduced in 2007.
Jobs unveiled the original iPhone at Macworld San Francisco on January 9, 2007. The device combined a mobile phone, an iPod, and an internet communicator in one touchscreen product. It went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007.
The first iPhone used a 3.5-inch display and initially operated through Apple’s built-in software. The App Store arrived in 2008, creating a broader software ecosystem and changing how users obtained mobile applications.
Apple’s iPhone remains central to the company’s revenue, brand, and market value, but Apple also sells Macs, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods, and digital services. The original iPhone is sometimes confused with later models, yet the 2007 device is the one that launched the product line.
