You can actually count with the fingers on your right hand how many tech companies in the world are as big as Apple. The company is a world leader in technology and innovation, and its products are known for its superior quality and craftsmanship. Over the past few decades, Apple has come out with iconic products that made their mark on history. In this century, no other Apple product is as well-known as the iPhone.

The curious thing though is that when you look at the iPhone’s history, you’ll notice that it isn’t the first incarnation of the product that elevated its status – it was the 3G version. Prior to the 3G, phones were mostly used to make calls and text. The newer ones had the occasional low-res camera and probably a game or two.
The iPhone 3G though introduced something that would change the smartphone landscape forever – apps. Now, phones weren’t simply limited to surfing the web. Smartphones could do things nobody thought phones could do. From 550 apps initially, over 15,000 popped up in the next months. All kinds of apps attracted people everywhere, catapulting the iPhone even higher above the most popular IT products in the market.
