iPhone的歷史
iPhone問世 2007年 第一代iPhone的靈感來自于史蒂夫?喬布斯在21世紀初接觸到的多點觸控屏幕,它用令人驚嘆的工業(yè)設計、鋁制機身和防刮屏幕,讓黑莓(BlackBerry)等競爭對手看起來成了徹頭徹尾的老古董。不過,iPhone最創(chuàng)新的地方也許是對觸控操作的運用:再也用不著軌跡球或觸控筆了。相反,用戶可以通過手指的滑動、收縮以及滾動,獲得更加生動的體驗。據(jù)一位知情人士稱,這樣的創(chuàng)新產品讓蘋果公司(Apple)花費了1.5億美元的初始開發(fā)成本。而考慮到iPhone自推出以來已經售出超過2.5億臺,這筆成本現(xiàn)在看來微不足道。 |
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最初的售價為599美元,其重量是4.8盎司,它具備當時被認為最頂尖的特性:一顆400MHz的處理器,128MB的內存,200萬像素的攝像頭,3.5英寸的顯示屏(分辨率為320X480),以及最高達16GB的內置存儲空間。第一代iPhone只支持美國電話電報公司(AT&T)的EDGE網絡,而不是更快的3G網絡?!氨M管存在一些漏洞和功能缺失,但總的來說,iPhone是一款漂亮而且具有突破性的掌上電腦。”《華爾街日報》專欄作家沃爾特?莫斯伯格當時這樣寫道。

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. |
