History of the iPhone
Development of the iPhone began in 2005 with Apple CEO Steve Jobs' direction that Apple
engineers investigate also steered the original focus away from a tablet, like the
iPad, and towards a phone. Apple created the device during a secretive collaboration with AT&T
Mobility—Cingular Wireless at the time—at an estimated development cost of US$150 million
over thirty months.
Apple rejected the "design by committee" approach that had yielded the Motorola ROKR E1,
a largely unsuccessful collaboration with Motorola. Instead, Cingular gave Apple the liberty to
develop the iPhone's hardware and software in-house and even paid Apple a fraction of its
monthly service revenue (until the iPhone 3G),in exchange for four years of exclusive U.S. sales,
until 2011.
Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the public on January 9, 2007, at the Macworld 2007 convention
at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The iPhone went on sale in the United States on June 29,
2007, at 6:00 pm local time, while hundreds of customers lined up outside the stores
passionate reaction to the launch of the iPhone resulted in sections of the media
christening it the 'Jesus phone'. The original iPhone was made available in the UK, France, and
Germany in November 2007, and Ireland and Austria in the spring of 2008.
Worldwide iPhone availability:
iPhone was available since its original release
iPhone was available since the release of iPhone 3G
Coming soon On July 11, 2008, Apple released the iPhone 3G in twenty-two countries,
including the original six. Apple released the iPhone 3G in upwards of eighty countries and
territories. Apple announced the iPhone 3GS on June 8, 2009, along with plans to release it later in
June, July, and August, starting with the U.S., Canada and major European countries on June 19.
Many would-be users objected to the iPhone's cost, and 40% of users have household incomes
over US$100,000.
In an attempt to gain a wider market, Apple retained the 8 GB iPhone 3G at a lower price.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 4, the 3GS became the less expensive model. Apple reduced
the price several times since the iPhone's release in 2007, at which time an 8 GB iPhone 4 sold for
$599. An iPhone 3GS with the same capacity now has no cost to the customer, as of the release of
the iPhone 4S. However, these numbers are misleading, since all iPhone units sold through AT&T
require a two-year contract costing several thousand dollars, including an early termination fee,
and a SIM lock.
Apple sold 6.1 million original iPhone units over five ed sales have been
growing steadily thereafter, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, a total of 73.5 million iPhones
were sold. By 2010/2011, the iPhone had a market share of barely 4% of all cellphones, but
Apple still pulls in more than 50% of the total profit that global cellphone sales generate. Sales in
Q4 2008 surpassed temporarily those of RIM's BlackBerry sales of 5.2 million units, which made
Apple briefly the third largest mobile phone manufacturer by revenue, after Nokia and
imately 6.4 million iPhones are active in the U.S. iPhone sales
constitute a significant portion of Apple's revenue, some of this income is deferred. Three generations of iPhone, shown from behind. Left to right: original, white 3G, black
back of the original iPhone was made of aluminum with a black plastic accent. The iPhone
3G and 3GS feature a full plastic back to increase the strength of the GSM iPhone 3G
was available in an 8 GB black model, or a black or white option for the 16 GB model. They both
are now discontinued. The iPhone 3GS was available in both colors, regardless of storage
capacity.
The white model was discontinued in favor of a black 8 GB low-end model. The iPhone 4
has an aluminosilicate glass front and back with a stainless steel edge that serves as the antennas.
It was at first available in black; the white version was announced, but not released until April
2011, 10 months later.
The iPhone has garnered positive reviews from such critics as David Pogue and Walter
Mossberg. The iPhone attracts users of all ages, and, besides consumer use, the iPhone has also
been adopted for business purposes.
Users of the iPhone 4 reported dropped/disconnected telephone calls when holding their
phones in a certain way. This became known as antennagate.
On January 11, 2011, Verizon announced during a media event that it had reached an
agreement with Apple and would begin selling a CDMA2000 iPhone 4. Verizon said it would be
available for pre-order on February 3, with a release set for February February 2011, the
Verizon iPhone accounted for 4.5 percent of all iPhone ad impressions[vague] in the U.S. on
Millennial Media's mobile ad network. On March 2, 2011, at the iPad 2 event, Apple announced
that they have sold 100 million iPhones worldwide.
On Tuesday, September 27, Apple sent invitations for a press event to be held October 4,
2011 at 10:00 am at the Cupertino Headquarters to announce details of the next generation iPhone,
which turned out to be iPhone 4S. Over 1 million 4S models were sold in the first 24 hours after
its release in October to large volumes of the iPhone being manufactured and the its
high selling price, Apple became the largest mobile handset vendor in the world by revenue, in
2011, surpassing long-time leader Nokia; however, later that year, it was surpassed by Samsung, a
major manufacturer of Android an carrier C Spire Wireless announced that it would
be carrying the iPhone 4S on October 19, 2011. In February 2012, ComScore reported that 12.4%
of US mobile subscribers use an iPhone. The iPhone 4S launch was also the biggest launch for any
smartphone in the history of mobile device market.
iPhone的发展历史
2005年，苹果公司首席执行官史蒂夫·乔布斯在苹果公司的工程师调查过触屏的背景和发展过后给iPhone发展指明了方向，并开始iPhone开发。乔布斯还亲自操纵了原始的iPhone屏幕，就和操作平板电脑iPad的一样。与此同时，苹果与AT＆T无线运营商Cingular秘密地合作了一个需要发展成本约150万美元的，创建设备周期超过30个月的项目。
当年，苹果拒绝了“设计委员会”提出的与摩托罗拉合作生产摩托罗拉ROKR E1的合作项目。同时，Cingular公司给苹果公司提供了大力支持，在给苹果在内部开发人员开发iPhone的硬件和软件的自由的同时，甚至支付其每月的服务收入的一小部分给苹果（直到iPhone
3G ），以换取其在美国独家销售四年iPhone的权利，直到2011年才合同结束。
2007年1月9日，乔布斯在旧金山Moscone中心Macworld 2007大会上签订了公约，并将iPhone推向了美国市场。2007年6月29日，当地时间下午6:00 ，整个美国iPhone销售点都被成百上千的购买者所包围。数百客户购买iPhone的狂热和激情，导致了部分媒体称iPhone为“耶稣手机” 。2007年11月，iPhone在爱尔兰和奥地利开始上架发行出售。2008年春季，iPhone又在英国，法国和德国上市发售。
iPhone的全球可用性：
1. iPhone由苹果公司原始发行销售的
2. 从iPhone 3G开始iPhone能够全球通用
在没过发售没过多久之后，2008年7月11日，包括了原来的六个发行国家在内，苹果将iPhone 3G发布到了总共22个国家和地区 。2009年6月8日，自苹果宣布的iPhone
3GS以来，苹果发布的iPhone 3G在超过80个国家和地区都有发行出售。在之后的三个月内：六月，七月和八月里面，从6月19日开始，在美国，加拿大和欧洲主要发达国家中，40%的家庭收入超过100,000美元，同时也想成为iPhone用户的家庭，开始反对iPhone的市场价格。
为了获得更广阔的市场，苹果以较低的价格保留了原来8 GB的iPhone 3G 。不过当苹果推出的iPhone 4之后，3GS成为了较昂贵的模型。在2007年苹果发布数次以来，苹果不断地降低了iPhone的价格，此时一个8 GB iPhone 4 仅以599美元出售。与此同时，与之相同容量的iPhone 3GS已然没有了吸引顾客的成本，特别是iPhone 4S 的发行。然而，这些数字是误导，因为所有通过AT＆T出售的iPhone需要一个为期两年的合同，花费数千元，其中包括提前终止费，和SIM卡锁。
在过去的五个季度里，苹果共售出6.1万原始的iPhone手机。在此之后，销售一直稳步增长，到2010财年年底，共售出了73.5万部iPhone 。由2010/2011,苹果的市场份额几乎4%的手机,但苹果还扯超过50%的利润总额,全球手机销售产生。在2008年第四季度，销售额暂时超过了RIM的黑莓手机，销售达到了520万台。苹果成为在美国销售的第三大手机制造商，仅次于诺基亚和三星。销售过640万部iPhone构成了苹果的收入的很大一部分，这个收入，一些被缩延。
三代iPhone ，如图所示。从左到右依次为：原，白3G和黑色的iPhone 4 ，其中原iPhone 4 全身由铝制作而成，外面包了层黑色的塑料。 iPhone 3G和3GS采用全塑，以增加GSM 信号的强度。iPhone 3G8 GB的只有黑色型号，16 GB的型号为黑色或白色的，但是现在已经停产。 iPhone 3GS无论存储容量的大小，都有两证颜色的选择。
白色机型的iPhone被停止生产了，取代它的是8G的黑色的低档机模型。 iPhone 4的前面的材料用的是硅铝酸盐玻璃，而用不锈钢的材料来做边缘和背后的部分，并用其中的不锈钢材料充当天线的功能。这是第一个可用的黑色iPhone 4机型，同时白色版的iPhone 4
机型也宣布生产，但在10个月后，也就是直到2011年4月才开始发行销售。
i Phone还获得了由大卫·波格和沃尔特·莫斯伯格这些批评的正面评价。iPhone在吸引用户的青睐同时，除了iPhone的消费者的正常使用，iPhone也被采纳用于实现某些商业目的。
iPhone 4的用户报告：当他们在下降/断开的电话时，手机正在以某种方式持有，也就是当这种方式持有手机的时候，iPhone的通信信号变得很差，这成为已知作为iPhone 4 “天线门”。
2011年01月11日，Verizon向媒体宣布，它已与苹果公司达成了一项协议，将开始销售了CDMA2000的iPhone 4定制机。 Verizon表示，这个信息将在2月3日公开发布，并在2011年2月10日开始预购发售。Verizon的iPhone将占所有iPhone的4.5 ％ ，所有iPhone的广告将展示在美国媒体和千禧年的移动广告网络上。2011年3月2日，在iPad 2的的媒体发布会上，苹果公司宣布，他们已经全球售出100万部iPhone 。
2011年9月27日，苹果公司对外发出了参加将在2011年10月4日上午十点举行的新闻发布会的邀请函。苹果将在Cupertino总部的新闻发布会上公布下一代iPhone ，也就是iPhone
4S的细节。在2011年十月刚刚宣布对外发行销售的最初24小时内，iPhone 4S竟然售出超过100万台。因为iPhone大量的发行销售和iPhone高售价，苹果成为世界上最大的手机供应商。在2011年，苹果公司的收入效益超越了长期处于领导者地位的诺基亚，但是，就在那年的晚些时候，iPhone的收入效益被一家制作android手机的三星公司所超越。美国无线电载体C石塔宣布，它将于2011年10月19日携带iPhone 4S。在2012年2月，ComScore在报告中说，12.4 ％的美国移动用户使用的是iPhone 也就是说iPhone 4S发行出售的是任何智能手机在移动设备市场的历史最大的推出。
