iPhone : 8 Interesting facts you didn't know before

Veni, Vidi, Vici. The Latin phrase aptly captures the way Apple’s iPhone came, saw, and conquered the world of Smartphones. From its introduction in 2007, the iPhone still continues to capture the fascination of tech-fanatics. Let’s explore a few interesting facts about the iPhone that you probably didn’t know:

1. The iPad project gave birth to the idea of iPhone

Even before they conceived the idea of an iPhone, Apple was actually exploring the concept of a smart tablet. During an All Things D interview in 2010, Steve Jobs had explained that they were conceptualising a tablet that will have a virtual keyboard. The engineers at Apple designed a device that had multi-touch functions. At that time, Jobs came up with the idea of applying that same technology to a phone. And the rest is history.

2. Cisco had the patent for the name “iPhone”

Even before Apple had released its first iPhone, Cisco system patented the name “iPhone.” They even entered a legal battle with Apple for naming their phone an iPhone. The iPhone of Cisco was actually a VOIP phone through which the users can make video calls. However, later, both the companies came to a settlement and sorted the matter.

3. Verizon Wireless refused to sell first generation iPhone

To launch its first iPhone, Apple saw a great partner in Verizon Wireless, the telecommunication giant in the USA. However, the company were reluctant about Apple’s offer as they didn’t want to relinquish any power to Apple (Apple insisted on carrying their logo on the iPhone rather than of the carrier). At that time, Cingular (presently AT&T) were looking for an exclusive smartphone to remain competitive in the market. They agreed to the demands of Apple and launched the first iPhone.

4. Samsung makes the processor for iPhone

Though they are archrivals in the smartphone arena but do you know that Samsung makes the processors of iPhone? Yes. That’s the truth.

5. iPhone: the best invention of 2007

The iPhone released by Apple was considered more than just a phone. It revolutionised the smartphone arena. So much so that the Time magazine featured the iPhone on their cover page and called it the invention of the year.

6. iPhone is the most profitable product of Apple

iPhone garners major revenue for Apple and no other product is even closer to it by a mile! This revolutionary product accounts for 70% of the total revenue of Apple.

7.The Retina Screen is the most expensive part of iPhone

The display of an iPhone is the most valuable and expensive part of it. The display of an iPhone 6 costs around $52. The Retina display is followed by the wireless chips by Qualcomm.

8. Cydia has a more symbolic meaning

The jailbreak software of Apple, Cydia, is not just a random name. It was named after the worm Cydia Pomonella which is a common worm found in apples.
