The Very First iPhone

January 2, 2012 by Impact

Often times the initial concept of an idea is much different than the final product. That is definitely the case here. I’m glad they kept working on the idea and didn’t stop with this.

The first iPhone was actually dreamed up in 1983. Forget that silly old touchscreen, this iPhone was a landline with full, all-white handset and a built-in screen controlled with a stylus.
The 1983 iPhone is just one of many prototypes buried in Apple’s past. There’s even a device that looks eerily similar to an iPad. Despite the phone’s age, it actually looks like a cool concept that could easily be updated into a modern consumer product by replacing simple stylus screen with an iPad-like interface.
