The history of the first decade of the iPhone – THE DEBATE

the united States.- Apple reaches a very significant date. Tim Cook, who is at the helm of the company founded by Steve Jobs, announces with great pride that the best is yet to come.

the story behind The iPhone was not only a hard work, it was also a project of high confidentiality, in which all his co-workers had to agree to keep silent until the moment in which Jobs present it to the world.

From the first moment, it was all a story of suspense. Tony Fadell, one of the co-workers of Steve, was in charge of bringing the prototype to the presentation of the same, but something had happened and security forces were given the task of searching for the device, as Fadell had in their pockets but without realizing that he had gone out and was trapped between two seats. Jobs is not going to be able to bear the loss just as important of a computer that would change to your company, so that from that moment, each movement with the mobile would be of the utmost security.

Fadell was one of the workers of Apple. It had been a source of inspiration to create the team in a mobile 60. Tony left the company in 2010 to found his own company, NEST. When he participated in the creation of the iPhone, knew that the team had much more to give in terms of technology and connectivity.

The 9 of January of 2007 was when Jobs gave the presentation of this fascinating team and it was not until June of the same year when it went on sale.

The iPhone was a computer that he wanted to put the same level of what companies like Microsoft were looking for but it was not to convert a PC into a phone, on the contrary wanted to make his well-known iPod to something with more evolution. Thus began the idea of bringing the world to the iPhone.

Apple was concentrated on the creation of a new Macintosh, your screen would bring the touch function. This was a job of very low profile because few people had access to the information that you had in mind. Count that on one occasion, Steve came to the place and suggested to the designers that worked on the PC, that was the size of a ping-pong: "I Want you to take this and you place it in an iPod".

Even on the warnings that this would have to be a device of high cost and delicate material, it began to put hands to the work. Thousands of people were involved in the creation, design and implementation of the iPhone and it was his incanzable effort which achieved the dream of Steve would become a fact.

Research and visits to various laboratories of technology and specialists in telecommunications were made by staff of Apple. An entire tour had to plan to gather the necessary information that will give life to the brain of the device, which would have connectivity to the telephone network and the internet.

Although much of the information and drawings of phone were stolen from a bag during the tour to make a stop in Sweden, it was known that he had leaked information that something big was being planned at Apple but never knew that order had the information stolen.

Another of the great challenges for creating the iPhone was to get rid of the keyboard, as until now there existed a mobile phone that would provide a single screen touch and control and also integrate the keyboard.

Jobs knew that this was one of the greatest difficulties for the phone, but still imposed his decision, and until the staff did not agree do not let her go back to follow within the project.

Another detail to rule out was to work only by sliding a finger, because once broken the barrier of understanding that I would have to leave out the keyboard was the non-use of a Appe pencil, and it is known that on the back of it Steve made a phone that included this accessory, thing that Jobs would dismiss outright.

To pass the time and with the success they had a season in which sales fell off, caused in the 2016 decide not to include the purpose mentioned Apple pencil. All of this is always working under a strict confidentiality and Steve now deceased, had not had intervention in the presentation of this gadget.

so today, we remember the dramatic presentation of the January 9, 2007, in which fans of the brand Apple, entrepreneurs and the media were at the Moscone Center in San Francisco and meet in person that is so mysterious in what Steve and his team were working.

Since then, more than a billion iPhones have been sold around the world. The device that revolutionized smart phones turned Apple in one of the most important companies in the world.
