On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs unveiled what would soon become the world’s most influential gadget: the iPhone. In this episode of This Week in Wall Street History, Todd M. Schoenberger recounts how Jobs declared the iPhone "five years ahead of any other mobile phone"—a bold claim that would prove prophetic. We’ll explore how the iPhone revolutionized touchscreens, mobile communications, and app economies. Fast forward to 2025: over 3 billion iPhones sold globally, the product now commands 80% of global smartphone profits and around 17% of the global market share. Discover how that moment in 2007 transformed Wall Street, transformed Apple, and changed how the world connects.
