The iPod and iPhone transformed our relationship with technology by making it personal, portable, and intuitive. These devices combined innovative, convenient design with functionality, introducing technology in ways that had never been seen before.

When Apple introduced touch-based interfaces, eliminating barriers to entry and creating a seamless interaction model. This has influenced interaction design ever since by prioritizing user-centric experiences, emphasizing simplicity, accessibility, and engagement. The apps on these products became more personalized, offering features that easily integrate into daily routines, such as exercising or setting alarms. This shift led interaction design to focus more on user experience by creating better responsive interfaces, fostering emotional connections through features, and raising user expectations.
