iPhone 10 Years Later: The phone that almost wasn't
Arguably one of most transformative pieces of technology in the modern era, the iPhone's development was fraught with engineering problems, drama, and extreme stress. Former employees share their stories from inside Apple 10 years ago.

Even as an Android user, you still have to give props to apple and Steve Jobs for truly reinventing the phone. We would probably still be using phones with crappy os's and keyboards.

aidil clearly doesn't know his stuff. Android wasn't even supposed to be a touchscreen OS in the first place. They only changed that after the iPhone came out. It also took them years to get to a point where Android was comparable to iOS and where the phones didn't only use plastic as their body and screen material. As much as that may have changed now, back then Apple was clearly lightyears ahead.

Lol i remember when the iPhone first came out, everyone in my family thought it was so dumb and weird. And that it wasn’t going to succeed (keep in mind, they all had Nokia’s and blackberries).. then i remember the first time my brother ever held the iPhone 2g a year later, and he took the first picture on it, and his facial expression said everything. Every since then, we are a family of iPhones , and could not be happier. Thank you Steve, for being so stubborn and thick-headed.. thank you for literally changing the world, .. all from a phone.

Interesting How Steve Jobs pushed people so hard because he knew they were capable of incredible things only when pushed. He was a driving force and it was very uncomfortable for those involved yet today they can be proud they did the "impossible" and changed the world. I wouldn't want to be treated that way unless I knew the guy and trusted him. Sometimes you got to push to get something done.

I remember holding an iPhone for the first time, the way the screen responded to touch, the beautiful images on the camera even though it couldn’t film, the way the screen orientation switched depending on the way you were holding it. It felt incredible, I don’t think I’ve ever felt that way for another technology device. It was truly a remarkable thing and I could feel it.
Apple really isn't the same anymore without Steve jobs. Its crazy how so few people can make a huge impact.

Steve Jobs greatest feat was that he knew how to assemble smart people who shared his vision and got them to perform at their full potential. Since he has passed Apple hasn't made anything that is industry changing. Now all Apple seems to be able to do is upgrade on the existing models. Better screen, faster CPU, better battery life, better camera. Things of this nature. I started with Apple and still have an Apple phone because I find it simpler to use. I also don't need much in the way of a phone. Talk, text and a few photos / videos . It all boils down to,"to each his own" . What ever floats you boat one could say.

its just rumors, not confirmed, some say the touch id is in the display and some say its on the back
May you love it or hate it, Apple did a milestone by selling the 1 billionth iPhone in July 2016.
Even though I'm an Android user I can see how monumental this product was. I don't think most people remember how basic existing smartphones were before the iPhone. Apple managed to shrink a PC into a mobile device and make it both fully usable and not cost an arm and a leg. That was pretty impressive. If you disagree I would advise looking at some of the products made during and before the iPhone and try to compare them. The difference is night and day. And here's what was really important, this device was for everyone, not just business execs.
When the hardware and software work so well together thats why the iphone has been the benchmark since 2007
Here I am watching on an iPhone 11 pro 2019. Still amazed from then to what we have now. Imagine if this was the first iPhone that came out back then, where we’d be at today technology wise. Good job Apple I’m definitely a fan of your guys work and Steve’s vision

Steve Job is a OG.
When my father bough his iphone 4 people in my family would gather around the device and touch it in amazement. The touch screen looked like magic, i remember thinking that was something out of science fiction. I guess we all thought that somenthig that complex and beautiful would never become mainstream as it was just too expensive for a phone and would only be a luxury product.
I have enjoyed these for years I am grateful

Such a neat story. Loved the Jobs movie too. I just like iPhones 🤷♀️
When I saw the introduction of the iPhone for the first time, I knew that most computer related tasks were going to be obsolete afterwards, and for sure my dumb phone was going to eventually be replaced as well.

I remember walking past the Apple store and seeing that big cardboard iPhone display. I thought “Man, that is cool as hell.“ I finally got my first iPhone at the end of 2011, The 4s. I still think the iPhone is cool as hell and I still just have the SE. but I also have my iPad Pro. I call them my i’s.
So many apple fan boys around here. Everyone knew touch was the future and Jobs knew he was missing out on a huge market. What Jobs was bold at was not in creating a touchscreen device. Everyone was trying to do that. He was bold when is made the decision to enter a market that was already saturated and brands were canibalising on each other's sales. Other than that everyone had touchscreen phones in their pipeline and LG even released a touchscreen phone before Apple released the iPhone buy what apple did have was their principle of making hardware and software in house working together seamlessy. So we can say that the iPhone was 20 years in the making and it didn't just happen by mistake or by quickly taking advantage of a niece market. They were the right people in the right position with the right attitude at the right time.

Imo after 10 years, Steve Jobs would probably have gone far beyond the industry squabbles about screen notches, rear finishes, number of lenses, etc.
Thank you Steve and the apple team. Re-invented the computer, music player, phone, tablet, watch

the smartphone market at this point is quite mature and oversaturated. it's the reason why even apple, the company that pushed the fold to begin with, is struggling to innovate. smartphones these days are so damn good that there's just not much else to improve on. Once the next "big thing" comes along the cycle of fresh invention and innovation will begin anew. And I believe it'll be apple to step forward with that product and become the market leader again.
