The history of the iPhone

With the iPhone 4's Australian launch only weeks away, we take a stroll down memory lane to look at the history of the iPhone

Apple iPhone 3G



Released in July 2008, the iPhone 3G brought high-speed Internet access to our fingertips. Other features included assisted-GPS via Google Maps, a 2-megapixel camera and a plastic backing to improve reception. The iPhone 3G was originally available in 8GB and 16GB models and users could choose between a black handset and a white one. It was the first iPhone sold in Australia and was eventually available through all Australian carriers — Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and 3.
