Apple's succes really went through the roof when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone on 29-06-2007. This was the first real smartphone with a multi-touch screen. Being a phone that could also be used to surf the web, watch video's and play music was a true revolution in the world of multi-media and tech.
Later the first tablet, the iPad followed and the app-store. Nowadays a world without smartphones and tablets is almost inconceivable. |
