History

Historical Context

Apple’s 2007 launch of the iPhone, announced by Steve Jobs, introduced a $499 touchscreen phone and, after the June 2008 App Store debut, hosted over 100,000 apps generating $1 billion in revenue, sparking a mobile-app economy. That model of platform-driven hardware sales now frames Meta’s Muse Charm AI keychain, as retailers such as Amazon and Shopify confront similar integration and data-security challenges.
