That the Ap­ple iPhone has changed the way we in­form, en­ter­tain and share our­selves is be­yond dis­pute. The clunky lit­tle black phone with the amaz­ing touch screen that went on sale 10 years ago, in 2007, has grown in the past decade into a global icon.

The iPhone is far from be­ing the dom­i­nant smart­phone, of course. The many brands that op­er­ate on Google’s An­droid sys­tem make up about 85 per cent of all sales. But the Ap­ple smart­phone de­fines the in­dus­try in a way that be­lies its mar­ket share, and it did it from day one.

The orig­i­nal model pop­u­lar­ized the idea of an all-in-one per­sonal de­vice that serves as a phone, a text-mes­sag­ing and e-mail de­vice, a cam­era, a dig­i­tal mu­sic player, a cal­en­der and a com­puter.

With Star Sports an­chor Jatin Sapru mod­er­at­ing the panel dis­cus­sion here on Tues­day to her­ald the se­ries, Clarke and Lax­man bat­ted with the con­trolled ag­gres­sion that marked their work at the crease and their in­ter­ac­tion was in­ter­spersed with light hu­mour.

• Search- and- res­cue teams made their way into the Florida Keys’ far­thest reaches Tues­day, while au­thor­i­ties rushed to re­pair the lone high­way con­nect­ing the is­lands and de­liver aid to Hur­ri­cane Irma’s vic­tims.

Two days af­ter Ir ma roared into the is­land chain with 201 km/ h winds, res­i­dents were al­lowed to re­turn to the parts of the Keys clos­est to Florida’s main­land. But the full ex­tent of the death and de­struc­tion there re­mained a ques­tion mark be­cause com­mu­ni­ca­tions and ac­cess were cut off in places.

“It’s go­ing to be pretty hard for those com­ing home,” said Petrona Her­nan­dez, whose con­crete home on Plan­ta­tion Key with 35- foot walls was un­scathed, un­like oth­ers a few blocks away.

WHEN a mon­key grabbed David Slater’s cam­era in the In­done­sian jun­gle he de­cided to turn the mis­chief to his ad­van­tage. With plenty of pa­tience, the lure of bis­cuits and some gen­tle tu­tor­ing he showed the macaque and its play­mates how to press the shut­ter but­ton.

Later he wasn’t sur­prised to dis­cover that most of the images were un­us­able. How­ever he was amazed to come across one per­fectly framed self-por­trait. Even more re­mark­ably the macaque seemed to be smil­ing as if pos­ing for the fam­ily al­bum.

The en­chant­ing “mon­key selfie” has gone on to be­come one of the most viewed and pop­u­lar wildlife pho­to­graphs in his­tory. It has been pub­lished more than 40 mil­lion times but for David, from Mon­mouthshire, South Wales, the snap has up un­til now proved to be noth­ing but trou­ble.
