This ecosystem of apps transformed the device into a versatile tool capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from productivity to entertainment.
The introduction of the iPhone also marked a significant shift towards multimedia capabilities on mobile devices. With its built-in iPod functionality, users could carry their music library in their pockets and enjoy a seamless music listening experience.
