The iPhone was not founded by a single person, but rather was created by a team of engineers and designers at Apple Inc., led by the company's co-founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs.
Jobs was known for his vision and leadership, and played a key role in the development and marketing of the iPhone, which was first released in 2007.
The iPhone quickly became a revolutionary product that transformed the mobile phone industry and paved the way for the development of other innovative Apple products, including the iPad and Apple Watch.
