You in the back old days smartphones weren't quite stylish as they are now.Today's big names in the market are the iPhone 5s,Galaxy S4,HTC One,Lumia 1020,Nexus 5 etc.
In fact, as Business Insider’s Jay Yarrow points out that pretty much every phone released at around the same time as the first iPhone had a boxy, unattractive build highlighted by a tiny, pixel-poor display crowded out by full QWERTY keyboard. Although BlackBerry showed that it was certainly possible to make stylish QWERTY smartphones during its heyday, these devices were the exception and not the rule.
Take a look at the top phones from 6 years ago
While we take touchscreen smartphones for granted today, many within the mobile industry thought at the time that Apple was taking a big risk by not attaching a physical QWERTY keyboard to its flagship device. Most notorious among the skeptics was Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who famously ridiculed the iPhone as a device that business users would avoid in droves because it lacked a keyboard.
And this is were we say thanks to Apple because if apple hadn't taken that big risk.Who knows wat kind of smartphones we would be having today.Even the Apple haters will have to give a big applause for Apple because what they did changed the entire face of the smartphone industry.
The iPhone didn’t just change consumers’ expectations for what a phone should be able to do but also for how a phone should look. Proud Galaxy S4, HTC One, BlackBerry Z10 and Lumia 1020 owners all have Apple to thank for pushing their favorite companies to make better devices.
