About
The original iPhone is a compact early smartphone measuring about 4.5 inches long and under half an inch thick.
Compared to modern smartphones, the first iPhone is remarkably short in height yet quite thick. Its 3.5-inch screen was considered large for 2007, but current models often measure over six inches diagonally. The phone came in a single exterior size regardless of storage capacity. Its rounded aluminum body was shaped to rest easily inside the palm of an adult hand.
