The world\u2019s first smartphone was created by IBM in 1994. Nicknamed Simon, the smartphone included revolutionary features including a touchscreen, email, and built-in apps including a calculator and a sketch pad. Cellular phone functionality has continued to improve since then, especially in the years after 2000. By 2007, Apple (AAPL) released its groundbreaking iPhone.2 When iPhone 3G was released in 2008,3 there were more than 3.6 billion mobile connections around the world.4

The introduction of smartphones dramatically altered the telecommunications sector.

The cost of cell phones has decreased over time thanks to the proliferation of mobile technology and Moore\u2019s Law. The first handheld cellphone, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, cost a whopping $11,000 in today\u2019s currency.7 National Museum of American History. \u201cDynatac Cellular Telephone.\u201d That cost has gone down significantly. For instance, the average cost of a smartphone was around $471 in 2014 and dipped down to $402 in 2016.9 Prices may be lower, but they\u2019re still not cheap. That isn\u2019t affecting demand, though.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The popularity of smartphones has also created business opportunities outside of the development of operating systems and the construction of device hardware. The creation of smartphone software applications, or apps, has become a multibillion-dollar industry.11<\/p>

Apps are downloaded to a smartphone via a store, which is controlled by the company that has created the operating system that the smartphone uses. In many cases, apps are free to download, but in some cases, there is a fee. Application developers may include advertisements in the app content once opened or may sell products through the app.<\/p>

One of the major beneficiaries of the rise in smartphone adoption has been social networks, such as Meta (META), formerly Facebook. Being able to log into a social network account from a smartphone has increased the number of hours that people spend on the network, which has dramatically increased network revenue. The behavior of smartphone users has, in some cases, been the driving factor in the changes to social networks that were once dominated by people using their personal computers for access.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
