Much has happened since smartphones, previously called PDAs, hit the market The first iPhone hit the market in 2007 and next year marks the tenth anniversary of its launch. According to all rumors, Apple could launch a device with a large number of new features to regain ground lost in recent years, where the decline in sales of the iPhone has begun to worry analysts. One of the first terminals to hit the market with the first version of Android 1 was the HTC G1, a terminal similar in performance to the iPhone 2G, but managed, of course, by another operating system.
The guys from Everything About Apple are launching various videos on their YouTube platform, in which we can see various comparisons, whether between last-generation terminals, between classic and last-generation terminals ... On this occasion the guys from this channel have published a video in which we can see the operation between the iPhone 2G, the first terminal with iOS 1 and the HTC G1, one of the first terminals to reach the market with Android 1.0.
What is most striking at first glance in addition to the size of the screen, is the classic HTC keypad at that time, a keypad that we cannot find on the iPhone, which since its first edition has always offered us the same aesthetic configuration, a single central button located in the lower central part of the screen.
Another thing that attracts the most attention is the aesthetic evolution that Android has had since its launch, an aesthetic evolution that does not allow us to compare the latest versions of Android with the first. For its part, Apple continues to use the same user interface and where only the design has changed, passing to a flat interface, leaving iOS aside until the sixth version.
Physically we can see how the HTC G1 integrates a drop-down keyboard, making the device twice as wide as the iPhone, which has never integrated a physical keyboard. The tactile response of the screen is also striking, especially in the HTC where the response to the keystrokes leaves much to be desired while in the iPhone it always responds to the first.
In the video you can see all the different that the guys from Evergything Apple Pro, a good way to remember those first smartphones that many of us, at least those of us two, enjoyed in their day.
