Many would argue that the original [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-50th-anniversary-iphone-17-pro) [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipod-wallpapers) was a true work of beauty, so the Apple iPhone Patent Poster offers a way to remember it always by transforming it into a [piece of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-ai-art-frame).

Available from Retro Patens, the poster features the patent number information as well as the various design images that were submitted back in 2010. The image-focused poster is finished with text including Steve Jobs' name, the original date that the patent was submitted as well as the name of the product itself (the iPhone).

The Apple iPhone Patent Poster transforms a somewhat recent technology development into a work of art that will likely be coveted by those who recognize the way that the products of the past few years will go down in history.
