The history of the iPhone

With the iPhone 4's Australian launch only weeks away, we take a stroll down memory lane to look at the history of the iPhone

When the original iPhone launched in 2007, it changed the mobile phone industry forever. In anticipation of the Phone 4 launch in late July, we take a stroll down memory lane to look at the history of the iPhone.

Apple iPhone



Announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs in early 2007, the original iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007, in the US.

The original iPhone was never sold in Australia.
