Is the iPhone one of the most important inventions of the modern era?

Many inventions and discoveries had a great impact on humanity and their importance was of great significance, so history immortalized them and engraved the names of their discoverers in the memory of time.

Who among us does not know the inventor of the light bulb, Thomas Edison, who illuminated the world with his wonderful invention and turned the darkness of the night into a bright day. What an invention.

Who among us does not know the world Fleming discovered Penicillin, the first antibiotic that was discovered, which changed the method of treatment for many incurable diseases, which by the grace of God and then thanks to him was the healing of millions of humanity what a discovery.

Who among us does not know Steve Jobs who invented the phone (sorry who reinvented the phone) Yes, he said it in 2007 when the first generation of the iPhone was launched (We reinvented the phone)

Perhaps his words are correct. The iPhone was an amazing invention about the course of the phone industry, a radical transformation that no one had ever imagined, and the evidence for this is that more than 42 million devices have been sold since its inception, and the world's companies are racing at the present time to manufacture smart phones that resemble that amazing device.

The iPhone has become the algorithm and business map that others walk on when trying to make a smart phone. Have you not heard that word, which many people use when presenting a new device (It's Not Like iPhone), meaning that it is not like the iPhone, so the comparison is always done on the iPhone, so it is an amazing invention. Of an invention.

And the discoveries and inventions of this creative man are continuing at an escalating pace, and the iPad appears to us in a square that was completely free of that kind. Yes, it is another invention of Steve Jobs.

Don't you see the torrent of products from tablets coming from all sides, it is a revolution for a new modern product whose core and beginning was the iPad that laid the foundation stone for that revolution and new technology, and as the iPhone did in the past, here's the iPad, it does it again.

Some people may think that I am biased towards Apple or intolerant of its creative products, but what attracted me to write this article was that referendum carried out by the British telecom company Tesco Mobile, which was about arranging the most important inventions of the modern era according to their importance. This poll included 4000 people from all segments of society and the strange thing is that The iPhone ranked very high in the list of those inventions, as it ranked eighth out of a hundred inventions, immediately after the light bulb and penicillin.

Perhaps that referendum was not conducted on a scientific basis, but this is evidence of the power of the iPhone device, and that it has put a solid imprint in the minds and minds of people that will not be forgotten, and its invention has become comparable to the most important inventions in the modern era and may immortalize it.

Time magazine of America in its annual classification of the best inventions placed the iPad in the first place among technical inventions and considered it the most important and prominent invention of the year 2010.

We go back to our inventor, Steve Jobs, so what is the secret of the success of that man who invented these creative products? Does this man have supernatural potentials and talents that others do not possess or what, the writer Carmine Gallo summed up

In his well-known book The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs, the successful experience of Steve Jobs' career and called it legendary, and in his book he highlighted the secrets of his successes and innovations, and summarized them in seven points, the most important of these points was thinking differently (Think Different) and this is the approach that It is based on Apple.

The genius of Steve Jobs and his successful innovations astounded a lot. Even the famous writer Thomas Friedman of the New York Times mentioned in one of his articles addressing the US President that America needs more good jobs to produce for us the likes of Steve Jobs.

After all of that, we wonder whether the iPhone device is really classified as one of the most important inventions of the modern era and will leave a firm imprint in the history of distinguished inventions, or is it just an ordinary device made in the midst of the modern industrial revolution and will pass unnoticed?

Thanks for the most wonderful article

The iPhone is not just a device that came out from among devices at a time of technical wealth, but rather is much more than that, but it is not one of the most important inventions because everyone can dispense with it at any time he wants

Greetings to all
A very interesting topic and worth trying to discuss as a member of the iPhone Islam family
From my point of view, any iPhone is a very stupid device made by a genius !!!
I have no doubt that you will describe me crazy and this is the least description that I can describe myself!
The iPhone is a rudimentary device and it lacks many of the features of any other regular device
However, the genius of Apple is that it decided to partner with the consumer, as it laid the foundation stone for a skyscraper project and told the consumer do what you like and we support you to the core
With this partnership, a genius iPhone device came out to us, made by XNUMX million people
Thank you, iPhone, Islam ,,, Wali Imam

    Yes, my dear brother, the word of truth is said by Steve Jobs, his origin is Arab, specifically Syrian, but unfortunately if he was brought up and raised in one of the Arab countries, he would not have become one of the most important inventors and prominent personalities in the world from my point of view I and unfortunately we all know why ,, accept my passage and thank you

Abu Moaz Al Ameri

I disagree with you dear Abu Abdul Majeed, Apple did not enter the mobile world until nearly a decade after the first mobile was launched, and it was possible for any mighty company that has Apple's capabilities of money and minds to benefit from all the brilliance and failures of these companies and the iPhone is in a better position than its current situation, just as Steve Jobs is not The only genius, by God, if the possibilities available to Steve Jobs were available to Professor Tariq, he would invent hundreds of times like Steve Jobs, dear Steve Jobs, moving against the backdrop of the strength of his country and the money of his company. As for Tariq Mansour, he moves out of nowhere, he carves rocks with his hands and his likes are many, and you are on their head. Thank you for your point of view .. always loving Abu Muaz

Hi
In my opinion, the iPhone is really one of the most important inventions of the era in which we live, as it is not just a communication device, but more than that. Once you hold this device, you find yourself possessing the world around you, and with the touch of a finger, you will not be able to carry several devices with you, especially in the business world and through my personal and practical experience in my field of work It has taken me a big shift from the speed of completing work and pursuing my own work
Actually the squeeze device is the epiphysis

We thank you, brother, for this article. As for me, what Apple did is an achievement that some of the companies trying to catch up with and not a discovery or invention with the level of electricity, penicillin, or other discoveries that have benefited humanity in general, like Microsoft in some past achievements, Google and other foreign companies, and finally any We Muslims from this?

    Speech in the utmost wisdom, yes a device. Although the iPhone has characteristics and features that make it an integrated device, but it is not the same as an invention that benefits all mankind, the iPhone remains just a commodity that Steve Jobar succeeded in marketing to the whole world, knowing that he almost fell into the trap of an abyss when he marketed the device only to his country and prevented others from it This person does not compare with the example of the inventor of penicillin and the inventor of the lamp, as the latter benefited the whole world without reservation, and we Muslims are the best example, as our scholars benefited from the West well, the likes of Jabir Ibn Hayyan and others.

These inventions simply cannot be lived without. As for the iPhone, there are many who do not use it

Hi
There is no comparison with the iPhone with any other device by separating the existing applications, which increase daily and help each segment to choose the one that fits with it in any field of work
For me, I have been using the iPhone since the first version. It has really changed the course of my professional life.
As for Apple, all its products are good in terms of quality, efficiency and after-sales service
This is my opinion and my personal opinion of Apple
God bless you

Best response Shifto reply my brother Tariq
It gives you wellness, my brother Tariq
Thank you. The most important thing is that the response is honest.
And the iPhone does not compare with inventions that changed history
I consider the iPhone a quantum leap or a small development in the world of smart devices
There are smart devices from before the iPhone, including Imat, HTC, and O2.
And a lot of smart devices
The difference between them is only in the operating system
Like htc its Windows operating system
And the iPhone is a system that it does not use
I conclude with my special thanks to Yvonne Islam and my brother Tariq

Frankly, it is not an invention, but rather the best undisputed
As there are advantages in this device, there are defects. It is supposed to overcome it and solve its problem, the first defect
Bluetooth? Why ? Can Apple not do this feature? Answer: Yes, it can, but ……… .. we are waiting for the answer
Do not think that I am fanatic or I do not like this device because I have been iPhone since its release and I will not give it up even with faults

Peace be upon those who follow the guidance
I thank the author of the article for this beautiful conclusion
But I agree with Professor Tariq's view

There is a piece of information you read in one of the Australian newspapers
A month ago, they were the richest Arabs in America
It is strange that Steve Jobs is of Syrian origin
Pioneering always stems from Arab minds
But marginalization in our society and development in the West
I wish Yvonne Islam to achieve a global breakthrough in this field

It is just a successful invention however. It will be more successful than it, and perhaps at the beginning of the way we are

As for the iPhone, we can say that it is a device based on many devices before it, but what will we say in front of the iPad ?? And what will we say in front of the previous and first online store in its history (as far as I know)?
Indeed, I think that the iPhone is a new invention in this era, as it made us connected to the Internet and to business on the network in a wonderful and unique way.
Finally, Steve said, "We've reinvented the phone."
I thank you, my brother Abdul Majeed, for this beautiful proposal.

A very big exaggeration, compare Nokia to the phones before it!! Could anyone have claimed years ago - when the iPhone was not even mentioned - that it was the most important invention of the modern era? The iPhone is nothing but a continuation of the evolution of phones, but it was a qualitative leap.

    Dear brother .. the iPhone is not a quantum leap in the world of phones .. it is like a light bulb .. Before it there were candles and lanterns ..

    Is it reasonable to call the light bulb a quantum leap from candles ??? The iPhone is also in the world of phones

    Thank you

Forbidden to you, Sheikh, you compare trivial inventions such as the invention of the lamp, penicillin and the invention of the telephone to a mighty invention like the iPhone

The only innovation in the device is the touch method (capacitive), which is wonderful, even powerful, but among the many inventions of the era, the multiplicity of touch has been present since 85.

In addition to that, Steve Gibbs did not sit in the lab and do the invention. Rather, he did all the inventions of the device by a group of engineers, so it is unfair to assign everything to him.

While Edison, Einstein, and Newton all sat in the lab and did their inventions, C-Plus is attributed to Strostrop even though it was done in Bell Labs.

An invention that cannot be matched by an invention in the modern era is the invention of the sixth sense (whose inventor made it open source so that companies could benefit from it) http://www.ted.com/talks/pattie_maes_demos_the_si...

If I had said that the device was the best mobile device invented so far, I would have agreed with you, but do not liken it to an invention like electricity.

It is true that the iPhone is amazing, but it is considered as a laptop in a miniature form, and now in our era everything is miniature, meaning where in the past the shape of the TV was huge that no one could carry, and now it is flat, the video and other things and so on. Thank you

(Not like the iPhone) This phrase I often hear and read. The device is the latest revolution in the world of mobile devices and with jailbreak it has become like an open book for those who can read their system. But it does not reach what my dear Abu Abdel Majid for the invention says, with its image that you put in. A day will come and say how I was the greatest of this device after the release of newer devices.

Majed abdullah

Lamp, medicine, plane, television, satellite dishes, even the Internet
And all other inventions, although the degree of importance of some of them differs
On the other hand, it agrees that if it was invented, it was just a leap that only belongs to the luxury, but who of us now can live without a lamp, without a TV, or even without the Internet!
I think that what is entertainment for today's children is an indisputable necessity for tomorrow's children
History is the best evidence and witness, and in any case, what I personally consider to be one of Apple’s inventions that will change human history is the iPod Touch Nano and similar devices, which are characterised by their small size and great value and information.

The iPhone is an evolution of mobile devices, not a single invention..also that the idea of ​​the iPad was not difficult, but the problem was in the battery that could operate that device for long hours..Anyway there are hundreds of inventions a day and although they are very useful, it is just a development for that. History reminds them. History tells the beginnings because they are the most difficult. This is my opinion

    I like to be reasonable and fair and divide the iPhone into two parts:
    First, as a mobile phone, it does not have any advantage compared to the new generation phones
    In many aspects, such as regular messages, media, file exchange, and even call recording, etc., we find all of this in the cheapest devices available in the market... So, it is a backward mobile phone that is many years out of its time.
    Second, the positive side is for me my portable office and my connection to the world, and it saved us from carrying a lot of devices from laptops and other things.

Thank you Abu Abdul Majeed for the great article - as always.
But I completely disagree with you and I think that the iPhone is just a breakthrough in the world of portable devices, but it cannot be compared to discoveries such as penicillin or a light bulb, as these discoveries have changed the course of history, and I do not think that a device for luxury people can have any impact on modern history. We do not forget that the iPhone One was really changing the path of technology, but in the end it remains a stone placed in a wall that helped build it a lot.

Also, I like to say that Steve Jobs is a very smart man and a successful manager, but there are many like him in the world, such as the founder of Sony, Toyota and other successful companies behind which there are managers who are no less intelligent than Steve, and it is known that Steve is also influenced by them.

Personally, I do not like to exaggerate Apple's inventions, although I like it, and I think that soon the competition will intensify and it will appear better than Apple in this area.
