Top iPhone Features Today

Copy-Paste feature – Interestingly, iPhone didn’t get the ability to copy-paste until 2009.

Video Recording – The first iPhone could click photos, but the video recording was added to the iPhone in 2009.

App Store – Calendar, Calculator, Phone, Notes, Weather and Photos came pre-installed on the first iPhone, but there was no official option to install third-party apps until the App Store started in July 2008. There were provisions for developers to provide web-based applications, which didn’t get much acceptance due to below-average performance.

Front camera – Selfie is comparatively a new-age concept. Apple iPhone first generation had no front camera. In reality, until the iPhone 4 was released in 2010 with FaceTime video chatting, there was no front camera in iPhone first generation.
