7 years ago, the CEO and founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, showed the phone of the future, iPhone.

Today, the iPhone holds 12,9% market share in the segment of mobile phones, and led to a whole new marketing level, technology developed by Apple didn’t had only positive effects.

1) Maps: Before Google Maps, most of the drivers had a map in the car, which to consult if they lost. Although many of them have abandoned them, if you are the owner of an iPhone such a map is also worth checking, because there were many cases in which the path indicated by the app to be a wrong one.

2) Good manners: Remember when you stay at the table with others and discuss about.. moon and stars? iPhone has replaced these discussions with food photography by Instagram application,

3) Blackberry: iPhone sales growth led to the bankruptcy of Blackberry, although we cannot blame Apple for the company’s failure to keep pace with technology.
