Time: iPhone is 'Innovation of the Year'
November 1st 2007
According to a SilliconValley write up, Time has named the iPhone its "innovation of the year." The print edition of the article covering all of this year's honorees will hit news stands on Friday.
"Intel's 45-nanometer (parts for chips) - that's a serious deal, but it's a lot less glamorous than the iPhone even though it's important," said Lev Grossman, a Time staff writer who covers technology and helped select the magazine's annual honorees.
SilliconValley states that the iPhones slick visual appeal wasn't the factor that earned the device this honor.
The iPhone's design and beauty contribute to its appeal, but its functionality and features are what gets people talking. The features themselves may not be groundbreaking, but the way in which Apple presents them is.
Time has been one of Apple's top cheerleaders among mainstream media outlets. In July, Grossman reviewed the iPhone, giving it glowing marks.
