The impression left on the smartphone early life of many young people today, perhaps even more bold than the Christmas gift or the first bike. The first generation iPhone is an excellent example for that. It has a large capacitive touchscreen, a minimalist design with a front-facing Home button, a nice camera, and a simple but powerful iOS interface that blends together. All that was the best people in Apple helping the iPhone go so far. That value remains the same and makes other smartphones continue to struggle after a long way to catch up.
Numerous improvements in later iPhone models such as monolithic design, App Store, fingerprint security or NanoSIM have also become standard in the smartphone market. Gradually, accidentally or deliberately, other companies also have to follow, from hardware to design and software. iPhone as a reference device when any smartphone launch also want to be compared with, even BPhone of BKAV. Ten years after the launch and the target of the rival firms is still "iPhone killer." So smartphone users in general, benefited greatly from the first iPhone.iPhone and affect the technology world
One-time statues of Nokia and Blackberry, who are confident of their power, despise the iPhone's "challenger", have suffered a slump when slow to change to catch up. Samsung has been quick to innovate and has survived, and has been involved in a "complex relationship" with Apple called frenemy, both as a rival and as a plaintiff. Small litigation. Motorola, HTC and Sony are gradually disappearing due to lack of ideas and innovations, or dying due to high prices. Foxconn is enriched by outsourced orders for the iPhone. The Apple Supply Chain thrives on offering screens (LG, Sharp) or accessories, battery backup for iPhone (Anker). Paving the way for the success of the iPad and iOS (Apple CarPlay, Watch). Apple's minimalist design style was also influenced by the likes of Xiaomi, who had little success. The other "dare" Apple, much of it paid dearly.
iPhone also helped Apple become the richest technology company in the world and monopolized the world of smartphone for many years. It helped transform the traditional software and games market, killing some of the laptops, digital cameras, wristwatches, and newspapers. iPhone has pushed the mobile interface for mobile devices and made the world of internet, especially adult web, no longer need Adobe flash. Even to the great men like Microsoft, Intel with the divine Wintel ecosystem is also struggling for Apple Ax and iOS. nVidia or AMD swam to the mobile realm. Qualcomm became the leading chipmaker for the Android and MediaTek followers. Google, from its intimacy and indispensable tool on the iPhone, is no longer the default app (Search, GG Maps and Youtube) after launching the Android "baby" against the growing iPhone. Only Amazon wisely sprouted through the niche with the Kindle reader to stand before this intense raid. Going back, their biggest rival in the past few years was Samsung
How did the companies affect the iPhone?
Technology companies are still sitting idle, while Apple after the Steve Jobs era was different. Samsung spent much on R & D to launch a product that caused Apple to change the view of the big screen with the launch of the Galaxy Note. The first Note appeared in the same quarter with the iPhone 4s further highlighting the difference with the giant screen and pen-s-pen support for notes. Users welcome it. Apparently Apple has listened to the user. These features further promote Apple's launch of the iP6 +, which is equivalent to the Note series, or the Apple Pencil that lets users write and write. In addition to other positive changes of the iPhone by learning other companies such as dual camera system on the iPhone 7+, or launch more color version.Apparently we see Tim Cook's iPhone as market-oriented and focus on profitability. They compromise some things that Steve Jobs never wanted to do.
There are things that both sides remain the same for many years, such as the iPhone never has a memory card or Android is never as smooth as iOS. But that is also part of life. We either have this or just the other, accept the choice and trade only. The Android and iPhone fanboys still fight each other, but they are getting older, and life goes on, giving forums and weapons to young people.
The philosophy that Steve Jobs brought to us through the iPhoneThe things that Steve Jobs gives us, are indeed "unbelievable" today. It was as if he came from the future and knew everything was going to happen. If you read the Steve Jobs memoir you will know how rigorous and beautiful he is. One time to share the phone with the key in the pockets of the screen and he was angry that the quality control team had to redesign the whole thing, as this was a very bad case for the human experience. use. Or ask for the first iPhone only smooth, say no to memory card, no Adobe Flash, no Bluetooth File Transfer, no hard keyboard, no pen ... is the bravest decision of Steve. If you hold an iPhone on your hands, you will find your enthusiasm for creativity and life is still true today
"I'm proud of what we have not done as well as what we do." Creation means saying no to thousands.
"And that comes from saying no to 1000 things to make sure we do not go the wrong way or try to do too much." We always think of new markets we can enter, but only by saying no. I can focus on what really matters. "
"A good carpenter will not use the bad wood as the back of the cabinet, even if no one will see it."
"We do not have the chance to do too many things, and every thing we do must be really great, so what we do is good.
"When I was 17, I read somewhere:" If you live the day you are the last, you will be there someday, that day will come. "The sentence has haunted me for the past 33 years. Every morning I wake up, I look in the mirror and ask myself: "If today is the last day of my life, do I want to do what I intend to do?" And the answer is. It was not that time, at that time, I knew something was going to change, remembering that someday I would die is the best way to make great decisions in my career. Expectations, honor or fear, failure, ... will disappear when faced with death, only the things that are really important. "
"Work takes up a large part of one's life and the only way to be happy is to do what you think is great." And the only way to do it is to love what you do. Do not find this ideal, keep looking, do not be discouraged, your heart will guide you and everything will be good over time, so be determined to the end.
"I think if you do something great, do not live with it for so long. Keep on thinking about what to do next."
Steve Jobs (1955-2011) founded Apple, was fired from his founding company, then Apple failed and he returned, bringing Apple back to glory with the iPhone, so that four years later, he died shortly after Introducing the iPhone 4S. It's no coincidence that the most up-to-date technology news on the iPhone 4S series is "iPhone for Steve". It has been ten years since the first iPhone, many iPhone descendants were born, but the imprint and influence of the first iPhone on contemporary smartphone design is undeniable. Without the iPhone, it is possible that the writer is scrambling to read the N-series physics keyboard to post. And perhaps too long after, a new personal computing device may be enough to overshadow the iPhone. But the image of Steve Jobs left his words are always beautiful and meaningful as yesterday: "Stay hungry, stay foolish. If each of us woke up as the last day to live, look at your smartphone and ask yourself: Today is the last day. Do you want to do what you intend to do?
