Apple has always been known for developing trendy and cutting edge electronic consumer products that attract a large number of followers. Already before the release of Apple iPhone in June 2007, guesses have been made widely about the outlook, the specifications and about the general properties of the product. No wonder, as the Apple iPhone seems to be an innovative and novel product, combining the technology of iPods, a revolutionary mobile phone and a handy internet device, as some assert, three separate products in one.

The Beginnings

Early documentary evidence has shown that the CEO of Apple Steve Jobbs instructed his engineers to design and plan probability of developing a touch scree tablet screen. The plan was to develop a touch screen Apple Tablet PC. But much to the surprise of his audiences in 2003 at a conference he announced that the development of the traditional tablet PC or PDA was not the way forward for Apple.

New innovations perhaps lie in the realm of cell phones, and thus, technologies, connected to them should be improved upon. The appearance of the new product, Apple iPhone was announced in January, 2007 at the MacWorld Expo with a release date for 2007 June. It is also declared in a later conference that Apple iPhone will support third parties creating Web 2.0 applications and users will be able to access these on the internet.

Release and Further Developments

In the United States on 29 June 2007 people rushed to the shops and queued out side to be the first to be the owners of the Apple iPhones when it finally was released for sale. The first Apple iPhones to be released were 4GB flash drive and 8GB flash drive, the price ranged between $499 and $599. But because the demand for the preferred model the 8GB outstripped the 4GB greatly, the 4GB was finally discontinued.

The attractiveness of Apple iPhone in the early period is by no means as great as expected, as a further development, the price is drastically reduced by $200 as soon as September, for which Apple was quite extensively attacked. This pricing and the sudden drop was alleged to be unfair.

For example, the sales for the first weekend were initially estimated to be somewhere between 200,000 and 700,000 products. But just roughly 145,000 activations were registered for the first weekend.

When the new Apple iPhone was first released the only contracts available to the applicants was a 2 year subscription with AT&T, this offer was unsuitable for everyone. The introduction of a new 300 page bill and the extensive coverage by the media which forced AT&T to make changes to its billing procedures.

Apple iPhone was launched in Europe by the end of 2007, in Germany, the United Kingdom and France. However, in Europe, Apple seemed to face legal difficulties if it is to follow its scheme of offering iPhone only through one selected company.
