This is a an only recently released photo of a device designed in 1983 by Hartmut Esslinger for Apple. It was a landline telephone with a touchscreen interface having an all-white handset. You can also see a built-in screen which had to be controlled via a stylus. Clearly foreshadowing of technology that was yet to come.
