The history of the smartphone dates back to the 1990s, with the evolution of mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The first device considered a “smartphone” was the IBM Simon, launched in 1994. It combined mobile phone functions with those of a PDA, offering a rudimentary touchscreen and applications like a calendar and a calculator. However, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that smartphones truly took off, with companies like Nokia and BlackBerry introducing devices that combined email, web browsing, and communication capabilities. A major revolution occurred in 2007 with the introduction of Apple’s iPhone, which redefined the user experience with its multitouch touchscreen, easy access to applications, and seamless integration of multimedia functions. Since then, smartphones have evolved into essential tools of daily life, incorporating increasingly advanced technologies such as facial recognition, artificial intelligence, and 5G.
