iPhone
Invented by – Jonathan Ive
Steve Jobs announced the iPhone at Macworld in San Francisco in early 2007, calling it a "revolutionary invention." "A widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough internet communications device," Jobs defined the smartphone that revolutionised the way people thought about phones. Apple Inc.'s iPhone is a range of handsets that it develops and sells. Apple's iOS mobile operating system software is used on all iPhone versions. The first iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, and since then, several new hardware revisions as well as new iOS releases have been produced.

Spandex Space Suit
Invented by – Dava Newman
The Bio-Suit is being developed by Dava Newman, an MIT professor of aeronautics. It's a flexible, form-fitting space suit that improves mobility. It's also significantly lighter than today's bulky suits since it exerts pressure directly to the skin rather of pressurising the air inside the suit. Newman showed the prototype space suit, which is a sleek, white, clinging ensemble with the potential to make astronauts feel as agile and fashionable as Spider-Man. The new anti-space suit is constructed of a skintight, elastomeric nylon-and-spandex blend that is light enough for astronauts to walk, run, and even climb mountains.

Amazon Kindle
Invented by – Amazon
The first Amazon Kindle e-book reader was released in 2007. The Kindle, while not the first of its sort, was instrumental in popularising e-books and e-readers. Users of Amazon Kindle devices can browse, buy, download, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, and other digital media from the Kindle Store via wireless networking. [5] In 2007, Amazon subsidiary Lab126 launched the hardware platform as a single device. It now includes a variety of devices, such as e-readers with E Ink electronic paper displays and Kindle apps for all major computing platforms.

Nanowire battery
Invented by – Dr. Yi Cui and his collegues
A lithium-ion battery with a stainless steel anode coated in silicon nanowires is known as a nanowire battery. Silicon, which can store ten times as much lithium as graphite, allowing for a far higher energy density on a steel anode, lowering the battery's mass. Fast charging and discharging are also possible thanks to the large surface area. According to the feasibility of nanowire batteries, a laptop computer that runs on a regular lithium-ion battery for two hours could run for up to 20 hours without recharging using a nanowire battery, which would be a significant advantage for many people, resulting in energy conservation and cost savings. Dr. Yi Cui, a Chinese-American assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford University, and his colleagues co-invented the nanowire battery in 2007.

Brain radiator
Invented by – Takashi Saito and his collegues
A brain radiator, which is a thermal pipe implanted into the brain to transfer heat away, may help to prevent severe epileptic fits. This device was created for the small percentage of persons who have really severe fits. In 2007, Takashi Saito and colleagues at Yamaguchi University in Japan created a heat pipe termed a brain radiator that is surgically inserted into the afflicted region of the brain and then connected to a heat sink on the outside of the skull.
