How iPhone Changed The Mobile Device Industry

- To truly appreciate the revolutionary impact of Apple's iPhone, it’s essential to understand the state of the mobile device industry before its introduction. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, mobile phones had evolved from their bulky origins into more portable devices, but they were still quite basic compared to modern standards.

The time it took definitely shows. Very well-put-together video, as always.
@@PrestonFrankelyou mean very detailed
Yes we do handsome
The iphone not only changed mobile phones and how we use it literally changed the world .
- " and how we use it literally changed the world"
such as how often people would normally help in emergencies
For example: "My phone can't call 911 and record at the same time!! This is history in the making, so you call 911!!"
i'm not being the negatives guy here, i'm just saying. don't nerd me out.
Before smartphones it was another world. I watched TV, DVDs, read physical books and to enter the internet was a ritual, had to turn on PC, connect on the phone line, and have patience for things to load. Internet wasn't about social media, everything had it's own place...
cant believe this kind of comment with a no-pfp-er
Mobile Device is part of human body
Without it you are walking dead
In hindsight though, for the worse outside of business use.
Even if you're an Android user and hate Apple, you have to admit that the iPhone changed our entire society. Though whether for better or worse is a fair question...
yeah, the android prototype looked like a blackberry. then the iphone came and they changed it to the one we got. (the htc dream)
It is actually not a fair question. While smartphones have had drawbacks trying to make it seem like it's a toss between good and bad is just farfetched. The good outweighs the bad by a country mile!
Apple kind of is just shaping the tech industry now because everyone sees it as good. Have you noticed that all devices look so similar to Apple's? They used to all be unique. I'm not saying that it's bad either, it's just interesting how they dominate.
@@SimonBauer7 plus, Samsung, an Android branch, can never seem to make anything actually original. They just copy whatever Apple is doing, just slightly different and better, but then Apple kicks @$$ and shows them who’s boss
Android was originally a digital camera OS.
iPhone changed the world forever. And it’s not even Apple’s first time doing that.

Not just mobile device industry but also product design and design industry in general. Whenever i was studying design, no matter, advertising, UX, interior or product design, something made by Apple was set as an example for what a good design approach should be like. iPhone was set as an example in my product design studies a lot and iOS when i studied UX - and my professor was coming from google background.

You're getting mad at a video you chose to watch. How about you make the video yourself?
@@BIT866 lol what? i was just pointing out the difference between the usual length of his videos and this one. chill out
@@BIT866 nah cus who are you random lil boy complainin 💀🙏
Funny when you think that three or four decades ago, some people thought only nerds would ever want to use a computer. Today, even these people can't leave their house without their phone.
Yeah, not saying that it’s a bad thing because that’s simply just the way that our society is right now and you can’t really change it and a lot of the points that Greg explained in the video I agree with but unfortunately we’re now having to deal with Gen Alpha and the dreadful iPad kids drama 🤮🤮
Just like Apple, Greg gives the people what they never knew they wanted. Please more longform!

The fact there is a younger generation that was born after the basic cellphone age, just feels so weird to me. I remember when the Motorola Razr was the iPhone of its release year just for its thin and futuristic look. This younger generation like my nephew is the first to live fully in the new social zeitgeist of smart/deeply interconnected devices.
As much as I prefer Android as a mobile operating system I must say, it wouldn't even exist without the iPhone. It literally changed society as we knew it because now everything is just a tap away from you
S23 ultra user here. I agree on you buddy
Great to see you return to longform content.
A video longer than 4 minutes? An absolute treat when you put these out.
I switched from the Black Berry Bold to IPhone 3GS, I thought I’d never use a touch screen phone at that time. Been an iPhone user since. 😂😂😂

@@josiahmciver3337why this dude commenting everywhere 😂
6:30 The thing I find most ironic is how the guy has a MacBook on the podium despite Android being the primary competitor to iOS.
Either way, for Android people who say “Apple doesn’t innovate,” I have one thing to say to them. If it weren’t for Apple and the iPhone, you wouldn’t be on your Android phone right now.
Apple once innovated, but they don't seem to anymore. They kind of stopped innovating after the iPhone X.
@@JoBot__ iPhone 16 is getting Satellite messaging I wonder how long it'll be before Samsung copies that.
Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei, ZTE and other 🇨🇳 companies : We copy Apple products and sell them at CHEAPer Prices 💯
@@jevonsims900yeah, Samsung copies everything that Apple does, just slightly better, but then Apple releases another phone and shows them who’s boss😂😂😂

I love that you made a video that was a bit longer and with actual photos and a nostalgia callback. Thank you for sharing, these are the videos I look forward to on this channel! 😊❤
woah, it's a longer video!!! thank's greg this is awesome, we haven't had ones like these in a while
this sounds like a future pitch from a 2000s sci-fi
I missed these videos so much. Glad to see you're still making them.
You can hate apple but you can’t say that the first IPhone was not a revolution.
Awesome video, Greg.
It was long, yes but the way you speak along with the music it simply makes it interesting from beginning till end. Keep it up!
Thank you for the content you upload ❤🙏🏾
I remember how websites were forced to change because of the iPhone. They all developed a mobile friendly version of their sites. They had to keep up with apple
Awesome to see a long form video from you again! Love your work and this was a great history lesson.
The amount of effort you put in your videos is impressive! As always interesting video, keep it up Greg! 🙌
2007 People doubted, Apple delivered.
2008 Race to copy it, apps arrived.
2009 The tech started getting cheaper
2010 Everyone wanted, there was no going back.
When Marques asked Tim Cook recently about the iPhone, Tim Cook did not exaggerate when he said “it changed the world.” It truly did. It’s one of those things that if it had not happened, it would have altered our reality, our timeline so to speak. I don’t think I would have been as financially successful had it not been for the iPhone.
Yay a longer video. Bring these back please
Mate you’re putting me to sleep with the same piano music loop that you’ve had since your channel started. Can you please innovate?
Thanks for uploading this!
Thank you
for some reason this gives me nostalgia

Great video please make similar format videos again

Okay.
@@cliffhanger5777 don't mind
Yes!!! A long video! Finally!
Thank you for another excellent video!
This is the best description of this iPhone invention. Steve Jobs is the man the met the legend without him someone else could’ve created, but at least we have him who started all he created music industry. He started and now other tablets follow that and computers too if I’m without my phone 1 ms, I feel like I left at home and I will not be able to survive without it one bit. I’m attached to it at the hip by the hand and my eyes to the screen all the time that can’t be healthy and I know that but it truly revolutionized society as a hall I believeand I keep up with all the technology with 5G and always speed testing with 5G and putting new EMS to test new services. Thanks to the new EM that apple created. You also came out with this video which is one of the best videos I’ve watched from you by far today. Have a great day.
The T-Mobile Sidekick was another big phones in the 2000s
Well done! An excellent, comprehensive analysis of the iPhone's impact on our lives and the world.
Great breakdown. Amazing how much we take for granted now (e.g. selecting which voice mail you want first)
But OMG… 20mins of the same music. As a video producer this kinda thing drives me bananas.
I don't know how I'm hearing all of these "iphone's innovations" from a non-apple device that clearly got to some of these innovations before apple did. The one about the iPhone 11 adding and ultra-wide camera for example 🧐
The design aspect is valid, though it's not necessary that one specific company or product would be necessary, that the industry would have developed in that direction anyway. With more touchscreens produced, the producing capacity and innovations will grow, the price of touchscreens will get lower and soon they would have been cheaper than haptic keyboards. The very idea that one specific company changed the world is engraved in the opinion of the Apple followers. It is the same as the fans from Ford. Did Mister Ford make progress when it comes to manufacturing cars? Yes, but wouldn't the same things have developed anyway? One scientific breakthrough, that changed the world however, was the discovery of electricity. If electricity wouldn't have been discovered, by pure luck, we wouldn't have the same world.
I get it that apple pushed the industry away from dumb phones. I applaud them, but they ended up being the last to join other people's innovation only to come and brand their version of it. Only thing I noticed they didn't brand was the Always On Display on 14 Pro and later. So to make a 19 min video giving about 90% of credit to apple in areas they clearly joined the band wagon late makes me feel someway
@@TheMark_emthey also didn’t brand tandem OLED
16:24 Her face when the shirt was sticking to the iron. 😂
iPhone is most commonly used by everyone and celebrities around the world.
Fr though
Before iPhone was BlackBerry & Sidekick :) (Nokia too but it hadn’t messengers like BBM).
@@Notyourdaddy83 I never heard of sidekick.
Well I mean most popular celebrities in the world are from the Hollywood, USA. And Apple is a popular brand in US. So it doesnt make the IPhone "great"
RIP Windows Smartphone 🪟
great work
Yes, finally some long video ❤
14:51 why is she taking so many pictures 😂
You conveniently skipped over Windows Mobile which was way ahead of these other OS' you mentioned and in 2005 I was already installing apps I bought off a website. By 2006 I was even theming my Windows Mobile. And we had copy and paste.
I even had a voice assistant on my HTC stylus phone. I would regularly buy apps off the internet and install them.
The iPhone wasn't a revelation, it was the next step in the evolution of mobile. People like me were already frustrated by the stylus and wanted an easier way to use the phone, especially via touch. I often used my fingernail on my thumb to navigate the OS and do things which was basically touch input but on a pressure resistant screen.
Apple just got there first and make the UI touch friendly and good looking. Now you didn't have to just your fingernail or stylus you used your finger tip.
UI elements were bigger, the internet looked better than WAP and the music player was cool with cover flow.
But I already had all these apps and more on my Windows Mobile phone.
Apple just made it easier and prettier to use.
In short it was the smartphone for the rest of us, if you will.
But that lack of features was also frustrating at times. Copy paste came later and video recording even later.
Meanwhile my Windows Mobile HTC had that years earlier.
So yes the iPhone was great and does what Apple did best: make technology accessible to the masses.
But it all already existed before on other devices. Let's give credit where credit is due.
Not only that but way back in 2001 when I was living in Germany I had the desire for a phone that could do email at home so I wouldn't need to go to the internet cafe to email my family. A phone that could give me directions so I wouldn't need to use a map all the time etc. Basically I already had the idea for a smartphone with apps before it existed.
And I'm definitely not the only one because apple techs and other techies must have been wishing for the same but the tech wasn't there yet.
I always compare the introduction of the iPhone to what Henry Ford did with the assembly line for vehicles --it completely revolutionized society. Jobs was no stranger to what he had done here.
Great video
Steve Jobs, a legend.
My favorite channel
i had a phone from that transition period, a Sony Ericsson, that you could slide up. it could do anything the iphone could minus the touch screen of course. it had a real web browser, WiFi, a camera, email and stuff, the interface looked very similar to the iphones. there was even a google maps app edit: just tried the Google maps app in an emulator and it STILL works and shows the up to date map after all these years. thats insane
Sony Ericsson used to do very powerful smartphones back then, they were based on Symbian like Nokia's smartphones, but their UIQ user interface was IMO better than Nokia's. But yet, the interaction paradigm of the iPhone made all the stylus based smartphones look so old...
this makes me wonder how apple managed to do that without any failure
They could not be failed.. they simply had the biggest iPod costumers in the world and they already revolutionized the digital music industry.. any major carriers in the US would agree with any of Apple's idea..
Those moments when Steve just zooming in/out the photo, scroll gallery & contacts, everybody was amazed. Simple times.
Could you make more long-form content?
Excellent video sir. What happened to the so called Tesla phone ?
You forgot the side kick and the boost phone
I miss my Palm Treo 700
I really cannot handle that super short music loop you use in every video. In the shorter videos, it is fine, but in the longer videos, having to hear the same loop repeated dozens of times drives me batty. Could you perhaps use a longer loop or find different music?
In your intro you failed to mention Windows Mobile and Symbian. They were smartphone operating systems that were quite mature by the time the iPhone was introduced. They were more powerful than early iOS versions but less user friendly.
. . . I still get chills watching the first key note address
I was wary of a virtual onscreen keyboard in 2007 and didn’t switch to a touchscreen until I bought a Windows Phone in 2012…
yikes what a phone to go with for your first touchscreen one
That was a great video

BIG FAN!
iPhone not only changed the mobile phone market specifically but, the world in general. I've been an apple user since the 3G but continue to own and use all their devices. Not the best, but just enjoyable to use.
I love the thumbnail😅
Not only that. The modern android feels like iOS and yes this is where it lost the plot of originality because manufacturers will just copy Apple instead of designing their own unique stuff. I tried comparing a Modern Android's viewfinder versus my LG G3's viewfinder i noticed out instantly that my G3 uses LG's own unique UX while the modern one looks like a copycat to iOS. The same thing goes to the status bar alignment where in the new android it was aligned on the left versus my G3 was aligned on the right. Lastly the app switcher, anything starting Android 9 they copied iOS app switcher. To be honest i don't like the iOS app switcher but i like the simplistic design of iOS for iPhones except that app switcher that can only display one app per scroll unlike Android 5x to Android 8.1's which has a ability to display multiple apps per scroll which makes it faster to switch apps. They should go back to the card based like because its a downgrade imo. Also Android OEMs needs to go to their original ideas instead of copying apple in my opinion. iOS isnt bad but iOS rip offs kinda sucks in my opinion, plus it is important to understand that iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) are from different companies.
iOS is pretty good in terms of security but not good if it comes to adding mods and that app switcher being said. Android is also good because they allow mods, but not good if it comes to copying iOS.
iOS ripoffs are the worst because not only it was bloated but it is also buggier as this breaks some or many functionalities.
Even you hate Apple, you can thank them for changing the world of communication and inspiring other companies to diversify the phone market.
👏🤝 I use iPhone and it’s very good. I used to use Android, they are great but I personally prefer Apple iPhone. I like Android tho
Did you use some AI generated videos in this post? That man in the blue suit walking in a corporate building looked very AI generated. Pretty cool tho.
Nokia E61 has had this so-called smartphones features you mentioned Apple brought in 2005 bro. We had games, Apps from lonely cat (X Plorer: advanced file manager and JukeBox for music), Yahoo Mail app, office apps etc. Apple just copied what's available and improved on it, and the industry has been doing that for ages. Nothing special
Watching this on an iPhone as I assume everyone is
Nah, OnePlus Open but I have an iPhone as well hence why I watch this channel.
I will admit android is still very fragmented, but if u have no problem with a very closed ecosystem like not having much personalization, fundamental os removal if self repair is done and things like that then hey apple is the best thing that has happened
I always like to imagine traveling in time and showing these types of videos to people during the lauching of the iphone or even the 1900's, how would they react?
*showing someone who bought an iphone 3g in 2008 an iphone 15 pro*
"Where's the home button?"
They would react as if its a witchcraft, people wayback connect something they dont understand to demons or black magics
Background music is way too loud
You also forgot about MacOS sequoia
I’m nostalgic when it comes to older phones with unique designs. Today, phones are generic squares with a screen.
Love iPhone
great!
My dad used to have that iPhone
Why does everyone think BlackBerry was just for corporate snobs? I got a BlackBerry because of pharell. You could wipe it and download beta software. The iPhone wasn't a revolution, it was evolution. It took 5 years for iPhone to actually be good. They lived on hype alone until the iPhone 4
Never have I ever had a Nokia phone. I went from a Cingular to two Samsung non-smart phones to Apple and haven’t looked back
My first iPhone was the iPhone 1
This background song makes me sad. Especially because Steve Jobs is no longer with us. 😢
6:33 macbooks are soo good that google gotta use it
There were SO MANY devices and ideas that Apple actually copied the concept.. and as Apple always did.. they just simply make it better user experience.. im not against them or something.. but PDA's were still around.. Nokia made literally their own smartphones using Symbian as their OS and OVI store as their one stop apps shopping.. SideKicks had also have their own Apps Shopping Market..
Steve Ballmer.
Need more be said?
the only comparable was the prada phone though it didnt have a capacitive display
Hmmm, no mention of Eric Schmidt being on Apple's board of directors and also being a mole for Google to develop Android? This was a very good video, but the transition midway from Steve Jobs to Tim Cook made me cringe. I always wonder what the company would be like today if Steve hadn't died. I doubt if it would be immersed in the cesspool of DEI.
Your videos are always so diverse and interesting! I look forward to new releases! 😻👅
Running out of video ideas I see
As a phone nerd and collector before 2001 we had bulky business bricks like the undestructible Nokia 3310 and the not so undestructible Nokia 5110
Since 2001-2007 we had weird cosmetic designs like the Nokia 7600 and Nokia 7610
In March to June 2007 we had Nokia N95, first phone with every feature before that was common
After iPhone we had normal phones such as Lenovo Z5, Moto G (1st gen), and Samsung Galaxy S
kinda wonder what Google would've came up with if the iPhone never came to be? the fact they released their phone the next year makes me think they already had the idea of a touch screen phone at least...
they already leaning towards copying blackberry because first android prototype resemble blackberry phone in terms of layout and android OS is not initially built for touch screen devices
