How Apple’s iPhone changed the world: 10 years in 10 charts

Recode:

Apple’s first iPhone was released 10 years ago this week — on June 29, 2007. While it wasn’t the first smartphone, it leapfrogged far beyond the competition and launched the mobile revolution. Few industries or societies have been left unchanged.

Here are 10 charts that show some of the profound effects the iPhone-led — and Google Android-fueled — mobile boom have caused over the past decade.

The full history of the iPhone has yet to be written but it’s remarkable how much this one device has literally changed the world in the previous ten years.
