I just got a brand new iPhone.
Cool!  Which one?  I still use the iPhone 6 but like all the iphones they can connected to WiFi and cellular networks
I got the iPhone 7. Do you happen to know when the iPhone was invented?
The first generation was released 6/29/2007! but of course there's been new hardware with each release.  The 7 is great
So what came out first apple or android?
Androids was around 9/2008 so not too soon after the iPhone.  Have you ever had an android I've only used Apple's IOS operating system
No, I have never used an android. Has there been any controversy regarding the iPhone?
There's been issues about unethical business practices and their anticompetition - on 9/19/2012 apple came out with it's own mapping IOS, replacing Google Maps as their default!
Who invented the iPhone?
I'm not sure -Apple, Inc is a multinational tech company from Cupertino, CA that designs, develops and sells consumer electronics, software and has online services
