Ready to feel old? The first cell phone was created 50 years ago. In 1973, Motorola engineer Martin Cooper made the very first portable cell phone. Then, in 1989 the brand launched the world’s first flip phone. By 1992, Nokia stepped in to introduce the first GSM phone – but only two years later, in 1994, IBM released the very first smartphone with a touchscreen. Nicknamed ‘Simon’ IBM’s release – plus a slew of new 1999 models that gave phones new features like MP3 playback, camera capabilities, and color screens – paved the way for the very first iPhone, released in 2007.
