This day 9 years ago, Steve Jobs launched the iPhone!

January 9, 2007 will forever be in our memory, as the first generation of iPhone was unveiled to the world.

While unveiling the iPhone, Steve Jobs, co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Apple Inc, described it as ‘revolutionary mobile phone’.

“A device like this with this magnitude, which is much more powerful than any other device or cell phone that’s ever being created and yet vastly easier to use, is the future,” he said.

“And that’s why we’ve spent the last two and half years in inventing the iPhone, and it’s just a leap-frog product, five years ahead of anything else out there,” Steve Jobs in an interview with abc NEWS after he unveiled the iPhone.
