Four years ago today, after having announced the pregnancy six months before, Apple finally gave the first iPhone to the world… and changed the mobile landscape forever. There’s much serious beard stroking to be done about the ramifications of that epochal birth on the smartphone industry as a whole, and we’ll do some of that later today, but right now we’d rather throw the iPhone a birthday bash… and what better way to do that than to serve up a nice slice of birthday cake?
As you know, making and frosting cakes in the shape of the iPhone has become quite a movement in the baking world since the iPhone’s debut. It’s probably a little creepy to serve up an iPhone-shaped cake at the iPhone’s own party —how would you like to eat a big, frosted slice out of yourself on your birthday? — but let’s not think it through too much. Here’s four years of the best iPhone birthday cakes we could find. Dig in!
