Split
[edit]This article frankly has a ton of cruft, and should likely be split off into the current article (with a lesser focus on early history) and a new article called Development of the iPhone, since so many articles and books have been written about that specific topic, including by the iPhone's creators. Ken Kocienda's book would be a good start; the keyboard's developent could take up a whole section. Same with processor choice (x86 vs ARM), the carriers giving Apple more freedom than they gave any other handset manufacturer at the time, etc. A plenty notable topic on its own, I just don't have the time to write it myself.
The lead betrays this problem by reframing the article title as The history of the iPhone development
(meh).
I also think Wikipedia in general is lacking in "development of" articles that would be of interest to many readers, possibly due to overly harsh interpretations of WP:NOTABILITY. DFlhb (talk) 16:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Genesis of iphone section needs fixing
[edit]Whoever wrote that section either failed english in high school or was written by a non-native english speaker. Can someone please edit that section to be grammatically correct or just delete it entirely? 2.26.40.69 (talk) 17:19, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- I think it's best to delete it entirely. It (poorly) paraphrases information that is covered in what is otherwise a concise and easily-navigable article. Thoughts? Glad Tidings from New York (talk) 23:05, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
- It was since properly rewritten; and I think it's noteworthy, so I support keeping. DFlhb (talk) 20:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
Incorrect years in first paragraph
[edit]It’s stated that the development of the iPhone began in the early 3000s, and that the first iPhone was released in 2023. That is clearly incorrect information. 205.185.107.47 (talk) 03:41, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's been fixed. Guy Harris (talk) 21:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
