Which company released the first iPhone in 2007?

Apple released the first iPhone in 2007.

Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone on January 9, 2007, during Apple’s Macworld keynote in San Francisco. It went on sale in the United States on June 29, 2007, initially through Apple and Cingular Wireless, which later became part of AT&T. The device combined a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and an internet communicator in one touchscreen-focused product.

The first iPhone used a 3.5-inch multitouch display and had very few physical buttons compared with contemporary phones. It launched with 4 GB and 8 GB storage options, cost $499 or $599 in the United States, and required a two-year AT&T contract. Unlike later models, it supported only 2G cellular data and did not include an App Store at launch.

The App Store arrived in 2008 with the iPhone 3G, which also added 3G networking and GPS. BlackBerry, Nokia, and Samsung were important competitors, but Apple was the company behind the first iPhone and its distinctive software-hardware ecosystem.
