The first iPhone was actually dreamed up in 1983. Forget that silly old 

touchscreen, this iPhone was a landline with full, all-white handset and a built-

in screen controlled with a stylus.

The phone was designed for Apple by Hartmut Esslinger, an influential designer

 who helped make the Apple IIc computer (Apple's first "portable" computer)

 and later founded Frogdesign.


The 1983 iPhone certainly fits in with Esslinger's other designs for Apple. It also foreshadows the touchscreens of both the iPhone and iPad.

The 1983 iPhone is just one of many prototypes buried in Apple's past. There's even a device that looks eerily similar to an iPad.

Despite the phone's age, it actually looks like a cool concept that could easily be updated into a modern consumer product by replacing simple stylus screen with an iPad-like interface.
