Answer 2

Answer:

iPhone Sales in 2012

Can you believe that in 2012 Apple sold one phone every four seconds? That year they sold more than 340,000 iPhones per day. iPhone cell phones were coming off the shelves at a crazy rate.

Computing Power

Mobile cell phones have more computing power than the computers that were used for Apollo 11. If you were not aware the Apollo 11 was used to land on the moon. To think that our smartphones have more power than that spaceship is a bit mind-blowing.

First Smartphone

The first smartphone was introduced in 1993 at a Florida Wireless World Conference. The phone was designed by IBM and it was called Simon. IBM only made 2,000 Simon cell phones and they featured an LCD touch screen display that became the foundation for smartphones today.

First Cell Phone Price

The first cell phone was almost $4,000 when it was released in 1983. If you were to exchange that in today’s currency value it is about $9,000 USD. This is a much more expensive cell phone than our current iPhones and the technology cellphones had back then does not even come close.
