The Struggle of Building the Original iPhone - The Untold Story

I want ALL the employees that were involved in the first iPhone, that got divorces ,fired , the toilet guy , the finger works employees to come forward and tell their experiences make a Netflix show about it , they deserve the recognition on so many levels 👏

This documentary contains much more info than the official Steve Jobs movie, yet it is only 34mins long.. Good job Dagogo, please keep it up!!

I was at that keynote by accident (I was an installation supervisor at the show) I was on my way out of Moscone South Hall after the finishing touches on a couple of rental exhibits and saw just hundreds of people headed in one direction, I thought it was an evacuation or something, when I realized I was walking into a Keynote meeting I tried to turn around as I had no idea if I was allowed to to enter with an I&D badge but the crowd was HUGE so I just went with the flow, got in and found an empty seat near the front and man was I glad I did. I had no idea Steve Jobs would be talking and I just sat there with my mouth open the whole time, everyone in the room realized that this was a game changer in that this wasn't just a phone that could play music with an Apple logo on it, this was a Star Trek level of experience and the possibilities were endless, just about anything you could need in the palm of your hand would become "there's a app for that" I'm so glad I stumbled into that keynote presentation and to all the people involved in the development especially the ones who gave blood sweat and tears, you literally changed how the world works so THANK YOU! I worked at Apple years later and I know that many of the true innovators and people who make the magic happen rarely get the recognition they deserve because of the corporate structure, a lot of great people end up just wondering out the front door never wanting to look back.

As much as he did for the company, Steve was a very cold and sometimes even cruel man. Fans tend to remember him fondly, but the employees that worked under him will tell you the true story. He will always be remembered for all the great things, but it’s also important to remember that he had flaws just like everyone else

7:25 - "It would only be good for reading something on a toilet." -SJ You're underestimating how large that market is Steve....

7:20 : "good for reading something on the toilet" prophetic words.

The fact that I'm sitting here watching this video on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, makes me realize how grateful we need to be to all those engineers who gave up so much to create such a revolutionary product such as the iPhone...without the iPhone it's very possible all of the current touchscreen phones we enjoy today probably wouldn't exist...Thank you Apple and all those great engineers who gave up so much time and made so many sacrifices and Steve wherever you are thank you for being such a visionary and leading such a great team!💪

34 minutes and 24 seconds of pure perfectionism , I watch this video every time it pops into my recommendation list , everything is insanely great from the editing to the ending .

Man this is one of the best documentary ive ever seen about iphone. It was clear and so right!

"ColdFusionTV" is a fitting name. Your channel is completely comprised of videos I would expect to watch on actual Television. Haven't been able to enjoy this type of presentation since I was a kid, when Television was more honest about itself. Thank you.

I remember in 2008 when I was starting high school, one of my friends had the first iPhone. When I saw it for the first time it blew me away, it was the first smart phone I have ever seen, I always thought it was so advance, so ahead of its time. I didn’t get an smart phone until 2011 the HTC EVO and an iPhone until the 4s. But damn that technology back then was out of this world. I will always respect those apple engineers for developing that, they put in the hard work and the hours, but like always the CEO gets the praise.

I remember living in Egypt at the time. The first iPhone wasn’t available in our region for a while. I had a friend from the US ship me one. It was locked in with AT&T if I remember correctly. I had to try and figure out how to jailbreak it. I managed to get it done. I was 16 at the time. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. Good times!

I just can’t believe that this was only 12 years ago.

I always wanted to see this part of the history in Steve Jobs movies, we never got this, now we can have this, enjoy.

Thank you for this. I do appreciate you can tell all the stories behind great successes like this. Still a bit sad to know that few individuals may have bitter feelings about a product that many people love.

Thank you for making this video, in which the importance of highlighting an immense amount of hours by 100s of workers (with great minds) cannot be understated. You got a new subscriber, and I’m looking forward to watching more material about other achievements that could not have happened without collaboration of unknown people. 🙏🏽

"if you've watched this video to the end" Bro, I was captivated the entire time. It felt like 10 minutes.

Other CEO: you are fired Steve jobs: I'm deleting your number

This was the first piece of tech in my 46 years of living that blew my mind! It may seem crazy to talk about multi touch in 2023 as magic, but imagine that you never seen that before and someone show you! It was literally 5 years ahead of anything like Steve said. If you think about it, it was around 2012/2013(Galaxy S3)that Android finally was getting to a point where the multi touch scrolling was relatively smooth. Prior to that, it was rough. It had a lot of functionality, but wasn’t as polished.

Just wanted to let you know, I used to work in advertising in Malaysia and now am in marketing for an Australian company. I would always go back to this video everytime I get stuck, While I've studied Apple and Steve Jobs marketing of the iPhone extensively it's this story that actually puts the whole thing together. While great marketing sells products, great products are the best marketing a company can have. By having both is what made the iPhone especially the 4 so iconic, the first 3 were improvements of a great idea and the 4th consolidated it with great design and great marketing. The struggles of everyone in the project was worth it as Apple changed the game and revolutianised the smartphone. This video is still your best imho because of the detail and research (your other videos are also great but this was next level). Seeing how Steve Jobs while he didn't create the iPhone, he was the man who led and pushed the people in Apple to do their absolute best and that is what is important and why he is so iconic. He didn't micromanage but he was firm in pushing for nothing less than perfect, He wasn't the easiest person to work for but he knew how to get the best people to do their best. Everytime i come back to this video it reminds me a good leader leads teams, but a great leader leads teams of people that are better than him and make them work together bringing the best of each person to create perfection.
