iPhone的历史

iPhone问世 2007年 第一代iPhone的灵感来自于史蒂夫•乔布斯在21世纪初接触到的多点触控屏幕，它用令人惊叹的工业设计、铝制机身和防刮屏幕，让黑莓（BlackBerry）等竞争对手看起来成了彻头彻尾的老古董。不过，iPhone最创新的地方也许是对触控操作的运用：再也用不着轨迹球或触控笔了。相反，用户可以通过手指的滑动、收缩以及滚动，获得更加生动的体验。据一位知情人士称，这样的创新产品让苹果公司（Apple）花费了1.5亿美元的初始开发成本。而考虑到iPhone自推出以来已经售出超过2.5亿台，这笔成本现在看来微不足道。 |
The iPhone debuts • Year: 2007 Inspired by a multi-touch display Steve Jobs encountered in the early 2000s, the first iPhone made competition like the BlackBerry (BBRY) look downright antediluvian with a striking industrial design that paired mostly aluminum and scratch-resistant glass. But perhaps more innovative was use of touch: no more trackballs or styluses. Instead, users swiped, pinched, and scrolled with their fingers, making for a more immersive experience. Such innovation cost Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) $150 million in initial development costs, according to one insider, a paltry figure given the company has sold well north of 250 million units since. |

第一代iPhone 2007年 第一代iPhone最初的售价为599美元，其重量是4.8盎司，它具备当时被认为最顶尖的特性：一颗400MHz的处理器，128MB的内存，200万像素的摄像头，3.5英寸的显示屏（分辨率为320X480），以及最高达16GB的内置存储空间。第一代iPhone只支持美国电话电报公司（AT＆T）的EDGE网络，而不是更快的3G网络。“尽管存在一些漏洞和功能缺失，但总的来说，iPhone是一款漂亮而且具有突破性的掌上电脑。”《华尔街日报》专栏作家沃尔特•莫斯伯格当时这样写道。

The first-generation iPhone • Year: 2007 The first-generation iPhone, which initially sold for as much as $599, weighed 4.8 oz. with features considered cutting-edge for the time: a 400-MHz processor, 128 MB of memory, 2-megapixel camera, 3.5-inch display with 320 by 480 resolution, and up to 16 gigabytes of built-in storage. It also ran on AT&T's EDGE networks instead of the faster 3G standard. "Despite some flaws and feature omissions, the iPhone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer," Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg wrote then. |
