    What the average phone looked like before and after the IPhone.

    My last "old school" push button phone was the SE W995.

    Meh, it's just the rise of the capacitive touch screen. I don't know how else a touch screen device is supposed to look tbh. And the image on the right leaves out all the button devices still sold.

    I have the QTEK 2030 (HTC Alpine) on Adverts ATM, it came out in 1995, big and clumsy and also touchscreen back then.

    2005, I thought?

    I still have an N73 as a backup phone. Cheap Androids are at the price point where featurephones used to be, so they're not as visible as they used to be. As far as I can tell, only Nokia are serious about anything non-smartphone these days.

    Look at where the idea of PADDs came from, and you can get something like it in a smartphone or a tablet device. To me it's cool you can have something in your hand that 50 or 60 years ago was the stuff of science fiction.

    Might be wrong but I think the OP is trying to put across the fact that mobile phones of yesteryear all looked different with screen size, shape, clamshell design and casings. Most of touchscreen phones look quite similar tbh.
