Jeanne Bauer Walking With a DynaTAC on 6th Avenue in New York City, 1973

In 1973, Jeanne Bauer was photographed walking along 6th Avenue in New York, holding the revolutionary DynaTAC mobile phone, a groundbreaking invention that would forever change the way people communicated.

Accompanying her was John Mitchell, the Motorola engineer who played a key role in developing the device. This moment marked a significant milestone in the history of technology, as the DynaTAC was the first portable mobile phone capable of making calls outside of a fixed network.


The DynaTAC, which was large and bulky by today’s standards, was a product of years of innovation and experimentation by Motorola. While it was not yet a commercial product, its potential was clear. The device weighed around 2.5 pounds and had a talk time of just 30 minutes, but it represented the dawn of the mobile communication era, paving the way for future advancements in mobile technology.
