Amaya Toman Zama ukucabanga isikhashana bese usesha inkumbulo yakho: waqala nini ukuzwa igama elithi iPhone? Ingabe kwaba kuphela lapho inkampani Cupertino yethula lo mkhiqizo izinguquko emhlabeni? Uma kunjalo, awuwedwa—kodwa izinhlelo ze-Apple ze-iPhone zibuyela emuva kakhulu. Zama ukuqagela ukuthi inkampani yama-apula ibhalise nini isizinda se-iPhone.org.

Ukuthenga isizinda emuva kosuku kungenzeka kukhulise izinsolo. Ekupheleni kwekhulu leminyaka elidlule, i-Apple yanquma ukungagxili ekukhiqizweni kwama-consoles wegeyimu, abasizi bedijithali bomuntu siqu (ama-PDA) noma ngisho namakhamera edijithali, yaze yabikezela nokushabalala kwasekuqaleni kwale mishini eminyakeni eyishumi elandelayo.
