    ____________________
    There were dozens of incredible product introductions by Steve Jobs while he was CEO of Apple. Like pulling the iPod nano out of his jeans coin pocket, or sliding the MacBook Air out of a manila envelope. But perhaps the most iconic product keynote he ever delivered was for the original iPhone back in 2007. Not only did the presentation feature an incredible narrative and setup for the iPhone’s reveal, but it was a logistical nightmare to pull off. And some people who worked on the introduction didn’t think it could be done successfully at all. So in this video we’re going to take a peak behind the curtain and investigate the drama behind the original iPhones launch, and find out why it’s considered by many to be one of the greatest product introductions of all time.
    Thanks to Brilliant for sponsoring this video!

    I was trying to decide between Blackberry and iPhone in 2007. I was a recent Apple convert, so I decided to go with my gut even though I knew Blackberry was the KING at the time. I’ll never forget those first few weeks with the original iPhone. I was blown away that this was possible on a mobile device. Oh yeah, I finished college right when the App Store came out, and I’ve been an iOS software engineer ever since!

      d0qtrx that is exactly why it was successful not because of how Jobs introduced it or a successful live demo. It’s success was because when people got the phone in their hands the screen was responsive and you never had to calibrate the touch interface.
      Palm/handspring had the corner on smartphones but failed to innovate for years and everyone was tired of calibrating their screens and apps constantly crashing.

The OS can't be optimized for any specific hardware because there's too many things to choose to optimize it for. However Apple controls both the hardware and the software, so they know exactly what hardware will use what OS. This gives them the opportunity to make it as smooth and optimized as possible.

Not many people realise that even before Jobs said ‘This is a day I’ve waited two and a half years for’ that started the introduction of the first iPhone the keynote had been going the best part of an hour covering other apple products. To complicate the keynote with an hours worth of other business before then pulling off the lengthy iPhone presentation is the stuff of legends. What Apple accomplished back then shock the tech world right down to its single core. Truly a dent has been made in the universe.

    I saw the keynote and thought it looked cool. Was due for a new phone and went in on launch day where there was no lines or much activity for that matter. Figured if they had the phone I would go ahead and get it. They did and I couldn't be more pleased with how the device functioned. I still remember being amazed that the internet actually downloaded while I was in motion. Wasn't expecting that. I remember the price dropping by like $200 bucks pretty shortly after launch. I got a gift card for $100 because of it and bought some very nice earphones with it. Still have them and they work great 12 years later. 12 years already. Thanks Steve, great device to have as a legacy. We would still be using Nokias if it wasn't for Steve. It takes a disruptor like him to get a stagnant industry off it's ass.

      Seems like there's not enough information to answer. If the cubes can fold over and overlap, then you are correct. If something else is meant, then idk the answer. I'm pretty sure there's only one answer though since Brilliant has very difficult, but not trick-type, questions.

    • @EvanTrace
      @EvanTrace Před 5 lety +1

      Assuming all squares can overlap other squares as many times as we need them to, then only figs. A and C would be correct. But only one can be correct. And remember that a cube is 3D (I made the mistake of thinking "square" at first).
      Figures B and D both leave one side open, so not a full cube.
      But both A and C make perfect cubes "folded up" (as if they were paper) without any overlapping pieces.

    I find it interesting that based on the graph at 7:28 that the sales of RIMs Blackberry seemed to skyrocket AFTER the iPhone was released and didn’t start to decline until the year that the iPhone 4S was released in 2011. I think that year was also when iPhone was finally available in CDMA versions which allowed it to be used on networks like Verizon and Sprint (in the USA) and opened up to millions more people around the world because of that. General interest in smartphones and businesses investing heavily into the mobile markets probably drove sales as well. With every passing year Apple was making enterprise support better and better while companies like RIM stagnated. I’m open to debating these ideas as well.
    iPhone was truly a game changer for everything. The fluid responsiveness of the OS, powerful GPS capabilities, iTunes integration, the pre-ad era of CZcams, seamless integration with your Mac/PC, and so much more. It had its shortcomings but based on the absolute nightmare that was its development it was nothing short of a miracle they got working what they did. I wish Apple would start pushing the envelope again with the iPhone and start giving Android a run for its money. In my opinion, Apple has become the Nintendo of the phone industry: lateral thinking with withered technology. Using older technology that is outdated but cheap, well understood, and heavily optimized (sure isn’t sold cheap either). For what it did in the past it was revolutionary but Apple needs to refocus their strategies with the mobile market. They made a big gamble with the M1/M1x chips and it is looking like it is going to pay off.
