In no way taking away from the awesome engineering and ux that went into the iPhone
What did physical hardware did Apple invent for the 1st iPhone ?
Screen, GPUs, cpu memory touch screen ?
Apple did a lot of software and UX
- toyg 7y agoStraight from wikipedia: "the device would require a triple layered capacitive multi-touch touch screen, a very new and advanced technology at the time." The innovation was making the screen the only interface you needed, by pushing the boundaries of what it could do. There was no way to make screens do anything like this in 2001, when PDAs were around. By 2005, the tech was still advanced but mature enough to exploit it, and Apple did it to the fullest.
- zaphirplane 7y agoThe quote doesn’t tell us who developed the technology I see the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada around the same time with similar type touch screen A quote saying “The glass itself would come from Corning” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FingerWorks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FingerWorks Developed the gestures While I couldn’t find (while zapping some food) who innovated the screen on the iPhone 1 I’m not sure Apple did and neither did you prove otherwise (burden aside)
- toyg 7y agoI did not say Apple "innovated the screen", I said they "exploited to the fullest" what was still a very niche/advanced technology.
