Slideshow: A brief history of the iPhone

In honor of the September 12 announcement of the iPhone 5, we have compiled this slideshow showing the past incarnations of the iPhone with a nod to its presence in the healthcare IT space. Click on images to enlarge.

The first iPhone was announced on January 9, 2007 and released June 29, 2007. The release met with enthusiastic response from the public – the one-millionth phone was sold just five days after the release. With its limited features and neophyte status, the iPhone did not yet break into health IT.
