Ten years ago, Steve Jobs announced the iPhone 2G. This was the very first iPhone around. He referred to his new invention as a wide screen iPod. When Steve meant iPod, he didn’t mean the iPod we have today. He meant the iPod that had a tiny screen and wasn’t touchable. When he told everyone this, he wanted them to believe that this new device was able to play music. Steve Jobs then said that his new device would be able to access the internet. People were also surprised by this. The last quality that made the iPhone a phone was its phone. At the time when Steve Jobs was explaining this to everyone, the spectators were amazed, and so were the buyers of the phone. 10 whole years later, the iPhone is a completely different piece of technology.

On November 3, 2017 Apple officially released the iPhone X to the public. This new iPhone has some extensive changes to its software, design and physical properties. The iPhone does not have a home button. There are already some people that think that this is a terrific idea, and there are some that think that this new change was not such a good idea. I am one of those people that think that this was a good idea. Before Apple released this phone, there was a home button that was able to read your finger print. Apple started making this feature on the iPhone 5, until the iPhone X. I think that this was a great idea because it there was someone trying to get into your phone while you were sleeping, they could just put your fingerprint on the finger scanner and unlock your phone. Now, The phone has to read your face instead of the fingerprint. I am sure your thinking, “But, you could just put your phone over the person’s face while they were sleeping!” well, you’re wrong. The iPhone detects the person’s facial expressions and can tell if you are asleep or not. Another major change is the wireless charging. The iPhone can now charge by just putting it down on a pad. Now you do not have to deal with finding your charger and losing it. The charger just has to stay in one place. If you do not like this update, you can still charge your phone the regular way. Obviously, the software has definitely improved. Another thing that everyone is buzzing about is this program called augmented reality. Augmented reality is interaction with real life and the virtual world on your phone. You are able to look through your camera and see animations and graphics crossing over in the real world. For example, Pokemon Go uses this technology. This new phone is such a big change in the company of Apple.
