The 10th Anniversary of iPhone: Is the Innovation Road Stronger or Weak?
The 10th Anniversary of iPhone: Is the Innovation Road Stronger or Weak?

All the way

Ten years ago, on June 29, 2007, the first generation iPhone officially went on sale. At that time, Jobs wanted to redefine the smart phone, but he accidentally redefined the price. The high price and lack of practicality did not cause much trouble for the iPhone. Nokia and other giants also disdained: How can a mobile phone without copy and paste function compete with me?

But what really enabled the iPhone to reach its peak was that Steve Jobs slowly bowed to the "openness". After being hated by everyone inside Apple, he finally added the App Store to iPhone OS 2.0, so that software developers could create all kinds of interesting things( at that time )'s App is for users.

The first iPhone I used was a second-hand iPhone 3G, which I browsed on the market website and bought from a Hong Kong person. The Hong Kong version was unlocked. Although it was very old, it was still loved by me as a treasure. At that time, the 3.5-inch screen was a giant screen. Taking it out to make a phone call would attract many people's attention, but the real thing that I couldn't put down was the App.

Even though the App Store at that time was hard to use, disconnected, failed to download, unable to download, and so on, compared with my last mobile phone, the Nokia E66, it was just day by day. It was fun to use Talkbox to chat with friends by voice.


The 3GS is also very good, but it is the iPhone 4 that really brings the iPhone into millions of households, Retina display screen, A4 processor, 5 megapixel camera, and of course, the classic design of double-sided glass and stainless steel frame. The antenna door incident did have an impact, and the author met it without accident, but I didn't have the idea of returning or selling second-hand products, and I still have it.

Although the iPhone 5 in 2012 was complained of by many people as "horse faced", "ugly" and "betrayal of Jobs", even so, it still sold well. The facts since then have proved that the design of chamfering and trimming is actually very successful. Even this year, many manufacturers still use this design element for reference.

Apple's innovation is usually carried out in a different way. Looking back, although MP3 is not their original work, it can come up with a better product - iPod, making there are only two kinds of MP3 in the world, one is the other, and the other is the iPod.

There are many examples of this, such as the iPhone itself, iPad, iPhone 5s fingerprint recognition, OS system, etc. In fact, in official terms, it is "redefinition". But slowly, it seems that everyone feels no more like this. The iPod is basically dead, the iPad is gradually on the decline, the Mac is painless, and the iPhone is also increasingly weak( And killed a 5c )。

The last time Apple fans got high, it was the iPhone 6 in 2014, but it was not because of its black technology, but because of its 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch large screens, which hit everyone's pain point. I heard that the large screen is more compatible with the iPhone~

Slogan of iPhone 6s: The only difference is everywhere, but many people don't think so( Including the author )The thickened body and reduced battery capacity have not been substantially improved. The 3D Touch, which has been talked about for a long time in the press conference, has not been used as often as expected( I asked 10 iPhone users )。

By last year's iPhone 7, it was almost unexpected. It should have adopted a new appearance, just like every generation of "S free" iPhones, but instead it became confused with 6/6s.

Although in terms of functionality, iPhone 7 is very comprehensive, IP67 is waterproof and dustproof, 2+2 core processor, and 3GB memory( Plus version only )Home key that cannot be "moved"( Xida Puben can't be broken )In terms of book parameters, it is very strong and very good, but in retrospect, it seems that there is nothing to hurt people's nerves.


iPhone 8

As a fruit fan, I counted and used many Apple products, and now I feel a little disappointed because I find that it seems that Apple is becoming more and more difficult to find G spots. If there is anything that can make Apple fans high, it is the various leaked information of iPhone 8. Let's summarize the different rumors from around the world:

× Full screen, the earpiece occupies a certain area of the screen

√ Full screen, earpiece position does not affect screen display

× Vertical double shot, flash in the middle

√ Vertical double shot, with flash at the bottom

√ Off screen fingerprint identification

× Back fingerprint identification

× Double sided glass+metal frame

√ Front glass+back metal

√ New wireless charging

√ OLED display

√ New metal contacts are added to the frame of the fuselage for connecting accessories

√ The screen size increases

... ...

Samsung is very powerful this year, with its Galaxy S8/S8+, Infinity Display, excellent body design, iris recognition, good photography, etc., and the iPhone 8 will also be welcomed from Note7 in the second half of the year( Note7:i7, You are lucky! )Galaxy Note8, the latter's strongest opponent, will undoubtedly be the strongest Android player this year.

If Apple doesn't give me any more help, I will soon eat up. As an apple fan, I sincerely hope that the iPhone 8 in September will bring me the feeling of iPhone 4, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, etc.
