The new iPhone created by apple has been a widely anticipated product, waiting to be bought throughout the whole world. This is mainly due to its new features of touchscreen and the trouble-free control system over its uses and abilities. I own a Nokia myself although with the new specs of the iPhone 3G, I'm now contemplating on my next choice of phone between the iPhone or Nokia. This is a basic example of what this new technology will bring to societies around the world. By creating a completely new product with new features that other phones do not acquire, such as complete control over the screen and its applications by the use of touchscreen, the ability to zoom while surfing the web, as well as a 16GB memory. However it does contain features that many other phones have today, such as being an MP3 player, Camera and a console, however what separates the iPhone from the others is the quality of the programs used within the phone, such as iTunes which was a huge success, and for that matter still is.
Therefore the new iPhone creates a whole new zone of competition, which will have a direct impact on societies from the economic side, to the consumer sections. Economically its could affect the prices in stocks and shares within the Apple company depending on its total success. It also forces the other mobile phone manufacturers to create an even better system for people to use, as nowadays communication has become an essential factor in all sectors of commerce as well as social communities. If tested by a company management group, and the final results were positive, they may even give one to each of their employees to ensure complete communication throughout the group, due to everyone having a similar phone and therefore improving communications for the features that only the iPhone can provide.
Thus it can be seen that the smallest of products can have such a dramatic effect on different societies depending on their success, in which I'm sure the iPhone from Apple will live up to it's name.
