The pocket computer that ate the industry — multitouch, a real browser, and an app ecosystem that put a faster machine than a 1990 supercomputer in every pocket.

Created by Apple Computer
Hosted iOS

Jobs's January 2007 keynote promised an iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator — one device: capacitive multitouch, a desktop-class browser, and eventually the App Store, which created the modern app economy.

The original iPhone's Samsung ARM11 (620 MHz) outperformed the Cray-2. Its descendant ecosystem — the smartphone — is now the most-deployed computing platform in history.
