10 years of the iPhone

IT’S hard for many people to recall a time only a decade ago when they didn’t have a touchscreen smartphone in their pocket. There are businesses in Dorset that owe their existence to the arrival of the device in 2007 and the Android competitors that followed.

Without exaggeration, the iPhone forever changed the way we interact with technology, and more broadly speaking, how millions of people across the world live their lives. Everything we use our smartphones for today, whether it be browsing the web, watching movies, downloading apps on the cheap, taking eye-popping photographs, none of it would have been possible without the original iPhone.
