Only 15 years ago, the first cell phone was approved
by the FCC in the United States. Of course, the technology back then was far more inferior to the technology today and so the first cell phone was the size of brick and weighed about 8lbs. The more sophisticated cell phones in the 80s were carried around like a suitcase and weighed about 12lbs. Until the early 1990s, most mobile phones were too large to be carried in a jacket pocket, so they were typically installed in vehicles as car phones. As cell phones became smaller and lighter, more people became interested in and bought them.
15 years after the first cell phone was approved and weighed 8lbs, we are constantly making new phones some of which way no more than 8oz.
