IPhone as the Innovation that Changed Wireless Industry - Book Report/Review Example

There are still some disadvantages, such as battery longevity, but Apple did not stop working on its improvement. As a result, we have a tiny multifunctional computer that had an impact on the whole software industry of the world.

It seems that every child in the USA knows who created an iPhone and an iPad. In 2007 when the iPhone was released Time magazine named it the invention of the year. Obviously, iPhone made people look at mobile phones in a completely new way. First of all, iPhone was designed in a revolutionary way: the exquisite touch screen and glass-and-stainless steel case appealed to all the users. It changed the way how people used devices as buttons become redundant with the touch screen introduction.

People understood that this phone felt a different way. Moreover, iPhone incorporated an iPod, which had already become the music player everyone wanted, with a camera of good quality. So it functioned in a completely new way. iPhone allowed its owner to connect to any available wi-fi within seconds and made Web surfing or chatting on social networks really easy. Most importantly, iPhone was equipped with a special full-functioning operating system called iOS which actually turned it into a small computer.

Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, spent several years together with his best employers trying to create a functional multi-touch display and special operating system which was further used for the iPhone. It took three years for developers to turn a raw phone with major problems in software and hardware into a desirable device (Murtazin, 2010). All in all, by creating such sophisticated products Apple has influenced the whole industry: it made its opponents look for more elegant, less expensive, and more functional solutions for their devices.

Apple started an evolution in the sphere of gadgets updating its products year after year. The reason for iPhone's exceptional popularity is that it is not a telephone but rather a walk-around computer. It incorporates a number of valuable functions in it.
