The iPhone (also called the first-generation iPhone,[5] iPhone (original),[6] iPhone 2G, and iPhone 1) was the first smartphone made by Apple, Inc. It was announced on January 9, 2007, and released on June 29, 2007.[7] It changed the mobile phone industry, being the first phone to have a multi-touch screen. It was the start of the iPhone line of touchscreen phones by Apple.

Compared to other phones at the time, the iPhone had a much larger screen and removed most buttons, leaving only a home button to take you to the home screen. Its color is black with a silver back.
