Mobile Interface Heritage Archive

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

The Mobile Interface Heritage Archive is an interactive timeline that maps the evolution of smartphone user interfaces from 2007 to 2024. Visitors can scrub through the years, tap on feature cards to learn origin stories, and compare how different manufacturers contributed to the interface language we use today.

The archive covers touch gestures, notification systems, dark mode, navigation patterns, and accessibility features with clear attribution and design notes. Drag the timeline handle left or right to move through the years.

Each year shows key interface innovations that launched during that period. Tap any feature card to see the manufacturer, a short description, and why it mattered.
