Happy 10th Birthday, iPhone! The concise history of Apple’s smartphone in one colorful infographic

Ten years ago today, the Apple faithful stood in line — and sometimes slept in line — to be among the first to get their hands on the first iPhones.

Fortunately, the good folks at SureCall worked up an excellent infographic that colorfully illustrates that history. Click “read more” to see the infographic, and then scroll down to see it in detail.
