"Apple retail stores were created for this moment -- to let customers touch and experience a revolutionary new product," said Ron Johnson, Apple's senior vice president of retail. "With our legendary Genius Bar support, free workshops and our One to One personal training, we're here to help customers get the most from their new iPhone."
Apple introduced an entirely new user interface with the iPhone based on a revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows users to control the iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. The iPhone combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld device -- a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and the Internet in your pocket with new applications on a mobile phone for email, web browsing and maps. The iPhone ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely redefines what users can do on their mobile phones.
