On June 29, 2007, the first iPhones were sold. This week marks the five-year anniversary of the iconic Apple device, and the tributes are pouring in:
- In Business Insider, Henry Blodget "gawk[s] in awe at how it has changed the world." Let's see, not only has it "made Apple the most valuable and profitable company in the world" while destroying or severely harming several other large companies, it has also created a completely new industry and managed to stay ahead of its many competitors. "It seems safe to [say] that never in history has a single product been so astoundingly successful so fast and had such a radical impact on the world," he writes.
