How iPhone changed the fate of Apple

 

It has been 5 years since Apple first introduced the iPhone. The first iPhone was unveiled on January 9, 2007 and released on June 29, 2007.

Back in 2007, not many smartphones were touch screen phones. And today in 2012, almost all the smartphones are touch screens. iPhone can be said as the reason for this huge transformation. Such a revolutionary product from Apple has changed the fate (read revenue/market capitalization) of Apple.
