History

Historical Context

In January 2007 Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, introducing multi-touch and the App Store concept that sparked the modern app economy. The platform grew to over 3 billion units sold by July 2025, making Apple the dominant mobile vendor. Building on that ecosystem, Apple’s 2025 macOS 27 rollout embeds OpenAI, Google and Anthropic models in Siri, pressuring Microsoft Windows 11 and Google Android to accelerate AI features.
