The evolution of Apple iPhone: a visual history | FileMaker + iPhone

The evolution of Apple iPhone: a visual history | FileMaker + iPhone | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

It's been 10 years since Steve Jobs unveiled the mysterious 3-in-1 device that no one could fully predict: the original Apple iPhone (...).

And it has changed a lot since its inception, but the foundation that was laid back then was a solid one that ensured every iPhone would deliver predictably smooth performance and come with a set of features that would make it stand out, starting with the iOS platform and finishing with the little details like the useful mute button on every iPhone.

With the tenth-anniversary iPhone just recently unveiled and two new iPhones already on sale, we take a look at all the innovation that came with each new iPhone, starting from these most recent phones and going way back in time to the original iPhone in 2007.

You can even update the application LIVE while a user is using the application without recompiling, packaging, and distributing a new application. G2 Crowd ranked FileMaker as the #1 rapid application development software.

 

Jump forward to today. FileMaker Go 15 was released in May of 2016 and it includes built-in support for advanced iPhone features like Touch ID, 3D Touch, App Extensions, and iBeacons.

How to make and receive iPhone calls with your Mac | Filemaker 14 ? | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
If you’re the kind of person who leaves your iPhone in a pocket or purse placed inconveniently across the room, you’ll appreciate the ability to answer an incoming call with your Mac.

 

You can also initiate calls from your Mac—to the other person, the call will look like it's coming from your iPhone, but you'll be chattering away with your Mac's built-in microphone and speakers.

 

For this to work you have to configure both your Mac and iPhone.

More powerful, but remarkably power efficient.

 

With a smooth metal surface that seamlessly meets the new Retina HD display.

 

It’s one continuous form where hardware and software function in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that’s better by any measure.

How to dial your iPhone from FileMaker

Like many people these days, I cancelled my antiquated land-line a while back and have been using my mobile phone as my primary phone ever since.

A very useful feature that I have built into our customer database is the ability to dial customer phone numbers directly from within FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go.

And, it’s relatively simple to do.

Not only does it save time not having to dial the numbers yourself, more importantly it also eliminates dialling wrong numbers.

This tutorial will show you how you can dial your iPhone from both FileMaker Pro on your computer and FileMaker Go on your iPhone.

iPhone: How Did We Get There? [Technology History Infographic] | FileMaker off topic | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

People of the digital era take the latest smartphone technology for granted.

They rarely think that an iPhone in their pocket is the crown of the world’s engineering thought that led the human race from the primitive cave life to the digital age.

But in fact an iPhone, however small it might be, is a concentration of centuries of scientific and engineering work. Mathematicians, chemists, inventors along with all kinds of engineers and scientists have dedicated their entire lives just to make another small step towards the technology level where creation of the today’s so popular smartphone would be possible.

People of different calibers and talents, from unknown students to scientific legends, from all over the world, made their small and big contributions to the smartphone idea.

Even a few wars had to break out to boost technologies that would eventually bring us to the iPhone.
