Fans and users of iPhones ever might be able to recall when they finally made the switch over to Apple for their smartphone of choice.
Maybe you were there from the start, or perhaps you caved later on — ultimately deciding your BlackBerry was no match for the "revolutionary" product Steve Jobs unveiled in 2007.
In fact, it was on this day 18 years ago (January 9) when the late, great tech innovator — who later died in 2011 at age 56 — showcased the iPhone 1 at a Macworld convention in San Francisco, HISTORY.com reports. Jobs was dressed in his usual jeans and black turtleneck when he told the excited audience about a "magical product that is literally five years ahead of any other mobile phone."

The very first iPhone hit the shelves six months later (the 4GB model for $499 and 8GB for $599), with thousands of eager fans lining the streets on June 29, 2007 with hopes of getting their hands on one. By 2012, more than 200 million had been sold, turning Apple — which Jobs co-founded with Stephen Wozniak in 1976 — into one of the world's most valuable corporations.
Here are the launch years for the company's other products that became part of Americans' everyday lives:

The top hit for iPhones may — or may not — come as a surprise to users: ChatGPT. It's an everyday, sometimes lifesaver of an app that you might used at least once today already. Developed by OpenAI, the chatbot was released in November 2022 and generates text, speech and images in response to user prompts, as fans are well aware.
