10 Cool Technologies That iPhone Introduce For You

#1. iPhone Turns 10

Ten years ago, the original iPhone hit stores in the U.S. for the first time. It is revolutionized and companies built all modern smartphones.

#2. Multi-Touch Screens

The iPhone's most obvious contribution was to ditch the physical keyboard. It enabled "smart" functions like pinch-to-zoom and physics-based interaction that presented on-screen elements as real objects with weight, size and intuitive responses.

#3. Google Maps

Steve Jobs was a pioneer in bringing Google Map to mobile devices when he asked Google to build an app for the iPhone.

#4. The App Store

In 2008, the company unveiled the App Store and most companies now have their own app.

#5. Fingerprint Scanners

Apple also introduced compelling uses for the devices, such as using it to unlock the phone or to make payments. It wasn't long before competitors started to follow suit with their high-end devices.

#6. Gorilla Glass

Apple asked a leading American glass and ceramics company to provide a thin, toughened glass for their iPhone screens. The crack- and scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass is now the gold standard for mobile devices.

#7. Mobile Internet

iPhone's MobileSafari tried to bring the full experience of the Internet to what was, at the time, a comparatively large phone screen.

#8. Virtual Assistants

Apple acquired the company that made Siri, SRI International, in 2010 and then made the technology proprietary the next year, the concept was revolutionary.

#9. All-in-One Device

The iPhone put a mobile computer in everyone's pocket and then let them decide what they wanted to do with it.

#10. No More Headphone Jack

Probably Apple's most controversial and criticized innovation was its decision to remove the headphone jack from the iPhone 7.
