iPhone Game Apps

iPhone game apps have come a long way. Development of the smartphone known as the iPhone, began in 2004 when Steve Jobs wanted to move some of the company's focus away from the tablet and put more energy into the mobile phone industry. By this time, many households had already abandoned line lines altogether, making it the perfect time to introduce a phone that could not only be taken anywhere, but also have the same capabilities as the home computer.   

iPhones run on the Apple iOS mobile operating system and have a user interface with a multi-touch screen and a virtual keyboard. It has WiFi connectivity, so it can be used anywhere a signal is available. Additional features include:

  • Built in camera that takes photos and shoots videos

The iPhone was introduced to the world on January 9, 2007. Customers around the nation lined up outside the stores hoping to grab the device the minute it went on sale. After the successful U.S. release, the iPhone was made available around the world.

Development of the iPhone began as a highly confidential project, code named “Purple Project.” A team of 1000 Apple employees were gathered to design the device. Apple collaborated with AT&T Mobility for the cellular technology side of the phone while the design team worked on the look and functionality of the rest of the device.

Features

The first five generations of the iPhone use a 3.5 inch liquid crystal touchscreen display with scratch resistant glass. Later, the size of the screen was increased to 4 inches.

The phone only has five physical buttons, all other functions are operated by the touchscreen and virtual keyboard. The touch operating feature is based on technology first developed by FingerWorks. The technology requires the electrical conductivity of a human finger, meaning a gloved finer or styli won't work. However, a capacitive styli can be used on the iPhone touchscreen. Later versions feature a special oleophobic coating, resistant to fingerprints.

Other features include:

  • 3G cellular network capabilities
  • A-GPS location
  • High speed processor
  • High resolution camera with Retina Display
  • VGA front-facing camera for video calling and other apps
