Apple’s iPhone is most influential gadget ever, says TIME

TIME Magazine named Apple’s iPhone the most influential gadget of all time in a list published Tuesday, which included a variety of tech products from the likes of Sony, IBM, HP and other big-name players.

Picked by TIME editors, the “50 Most Influential Gadgets of All Time” runs the gamut of tech products, from home computers to game consoles to portable electronics. A few of the companies — and most devices — are no longer in existence, but their impact has rippled through to industry contemporaries, some of which made it on the list themselves.
