Today (9th January) marks 13 years since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone for the first time.
It's hard to believe that it was so long ago now, though here in Australia, the iPhone wasn't introduced until July 2008, when the iPhone 3G was released.

It's mindblowing that the iPhone will be a teenager in 2020 (and 2007 babies for that matter).

I remember being completely uninterested in this. I didn't want a cellphone and the iPhone was just an "iPod Phone" in most people's minds. When there were huge lineups for this I thought the Apple cult had gone too far.

The iphone was not yet released until the summer of 2007, but yes, he unveiled it then. Weird, 23 years after traditional cell phones being used by people, the iPhone suddenly changed that within six years after it became publicly used.

I didn't really understand why there was so much hype surrounding it's release, although looking back, it's easy to see why there was.

The first iPhone was more about the shiny new touchscreen rather than anything else. Otherwise it was a piece of functional crap that could do much less what other expensive brands of phones could do at the time. It was already dated and retrieved from most markets by 2010 (3 year old smartphones certainly aren't nowadays).
The iPhone was only a worthwhile purchase when the appstore was launched by 2008.
