The Struggle of Building the Original iPhone - The Untold Story
Today it's just so easy to forget how much of a revolution the original iPhone was. In a world where tech reviews complain about bezels and small details in the new iPhone 12, it's important to look back and see where it all came from. In this episode we do just that. From the pain and sacrifice, to a revolutionary product. This is how it all began!

Why are you still reading?
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 👏
Yep
Same Bro !
@Ghost because cold fusion can't pay them all.
@Ghost no one said both carnt be done, and besides a doubt anyone would know about cold fusion unless they come across the channel or had the video recommended to them based on their cookies
The deserve a union. Tech workers are exploited so much
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!!
What the hell. I read "34mins long" and thought it was a typo, but then I realised that the video was actually that long. Time flies when a video is good
Well this is more detail oriented
Well, movies are shit
because the movie is focusing on selling the image of his that everyone want to imagine and not the real deal of things how they happened. Also he was right, it was good technology to read on the bathroom...
@@migovas1483 Very true!
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.
They don't get credit because they agreed that their work/contributions are works for-hire and also sign non-disclosure agreements which is something that keeps them selling/telling to the competition.
Great story!! Props for getting to see that!
Amazing
I was at CES in Las Vegas that year. Apple was not even there yet all eyes were watching the presentation on any TV they could find at CES. Apple owned CES that year and they weren’t even attending. Apple world always coincided with CES but it was in SF.
Thanks to all who did this project! I cherish my iphone over every thing materialistic that i own. I will always buy apple!!
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
No, he's remembered by many as the piece of shit he was.
So what? You have to be cold and cruel and emotionless sometimes to succeed in a domain that requires you be logical and work based on facts.
Fuck that guy. If there's a hell that resembles Danté's Inferno, we can only hope that Satan spits out Brutus and Cassius to make room for Gates and Jobs.
@@pokoro97 Jobs apologist
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath Irrational Apple-hater and Android/windows cocksucker
Man this is one of the best documentary ive ever seen about iphone. It was clear and so right!
Up to this video these two 10min videos were the best talking about the development of the iPhone. Apple's Secret iPhone Launch Team: The event that began it all m.kzhead.info/sun/q9x7k5Wbaqd3fa8/bejne.html iPhone 10 Years Later: The phone that almost wasnt m.kzhead.info/sun/ecqRpdyhhpF_pJ8/bejne.html
Actually no..... either this Documentary isnt right or Steve Jobs was lying at D8 ( look it up ) iPad was the touchscreen project, they put that on hold and on the shelf... he said; my god.... we can make a phone out of this !
@@ShawnRitch if money wasn’t behind it, none of these things would be made. That’s how it works.
@@timhornswaggle1243 true, private investment only poured in after apple received government business loans. Even all the things that make a smart phone smart were created through publicly funded research, which apple took and used to privatize the profits. No mention of any of this in this video.
Other CEO: you are fired Steve jobs: I'm deleting your number
Really messed up and sadistic way of firing someone.
@Jaquan Kelsor wtf
@@asutriasorem9364 why was he fired tho
@Jaquan Kelsor wth 🤦♀️
Jobs was piece of shiit.
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!💪
Yeah we probably wouldn't have superior devices like the S22 ultra (same phone I have) if not for the groundwork with apps and such. It's crazy how android caught up and even surpassed the ios system
Well said, Dionnel! I 10000000% AGREE! I'm watching on a Galaxy S22 Ultra, too! Lol! :)
@@gideoninc8687 The iPhone out-benchmarks every Samsung flagship, more Android users switch to iOS each year than iOS users switch to Android, iOS has vastly fewer security issues, the App Store is much better curated and doesn't have reams of scam apps and malware unlike the Play Store, iPhones last far longer and get years more full OS updates than any Android flagship - it's sad that the only time Android users ever talk about their phones it's in comparison to the iPhone, it's never about the merits of the phone itself, because you all have this bizarre inferiority complex. If you're happy with your Samsung then just ignore the iPhone and be happy, trying to pretend that your phone is better just makes you seem pathetic and misinformed. It's fine to prefer something that's factually less capable, there's no need to be envious.
@@sfdntk I have a samsung, I have to put black tape on my screen so it feels like a iphone.
So why do every s23 user needs to declare themselves on every comment …. Nobody cares what smartphone you used …
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 .
I agree 100%
7:25 - _"It would only be good for reading something on a toilet." -SJ_ You're underestimating how large that market is Steve....

Well said
Reading this as I’m sitting on the toilet watching this video... 😂😂
I'm watching this on the toilet
Funny enough, I am reading this while sitting on toilet
"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.
Out of hundreds of thousands of comments, you’re the first one to understand the model of this channel. Thanks for watching!
@@ColdFusion i wonder what else you expect us to see in your videos
There was a time in Canada and Britain that this in fact WAS TV... I had three channels growing up in Canada, and one of them was government funded. Also, this is impeccably researched. As a marketer, engineers and designers going to marketing to determine viability should be common practice, but it should not be a defined of whether engineers/design should continue their pursuit. In fact, marketing should never intrude on imagination. Super important point! 👊🏿🧔🏾
@@ColdFusion You're very welcome, thank you again for the stellar content.
funny i was thinking that while watching the video and how awesome this content is as well
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 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 wanted iphone in 2008, but no money.... I got my first smart phone in 2016. I was blown away lol.
My brother got it on launch. It was a big deal. Everyone wanted to see it
@@TheMakaveli1999 I know the feel. I hired an expensive 10/10 hooker for my high school prom. Everyone was stunned and I was super popular.
The CEO gets the praise for organizing the enterprise, the engineers and the customers
I’m pretty sure everyone got their mind blown seeing the iPhone in person for the first time
7:20 : "good for reading something on the toilet" prophetic words.
If this was maybe 5 minutes long. I would have been watching it on there instead of my PC.
This made me laugh, cuz it's actually true.
People who use phones in the toilet are disgusting, period.
@@cavemann_ Not really. It's generally frowned upon but there isn't anything actually wrong with it. (I'm on the throne right now actually)
Reading in on the toilet right now
I always wanted to see this part of the history in Steve Jobs movies, we never got this, now we can have this, enjoy.
V L indeed. Nicely said
This documentary here is way better then the movie :-)
Vablo I agree. Steve Jobs was such a dickhead I got furiously angry just by listening to his reactions in this vid... ahh
We did, it even admitted in his new movie he really didn't invent the iPhone
@@93836 I mean in the newest one they basically admitted it, Steve jobs saying he's like a conductor and his team is the orchestra
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.
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.
Oh my god 34 min is over even didn't realised it.
Wow.
there is a fast forward options. I always use that saves a time
Yeh! me too, man
He is saying that it went by fast
@@nobsoul2179 i am saying it would go more faster
I just can’t believe that this was only 12 years ago.
M7ammd haha so much changed in just 12 years. We need the next great product soon. Technology is evolving ever faster
Aren't 12 years enough? Now it's time for something completely new.
Insane!!! It feels like 30 years have gone by!!
@@MarzioMassari "something completely new" like what exactly?
@@nofood1 12 years in tech is quite half a century :)
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.
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.
You wouldn't know its 30+ mins long
I just realized it was almost 35 minutes...
Same! Crazy that it was a 30 min video.
waaait, you're saying this video wasn't just 11 min long ?
I can’t believe I can watch this completely free
sshhhhh dnt give them any more revenue ideas
It’s actually weird to think that different corporations pay for our KZhead content. They pay google for ad services, google pays the creators.
Nothing is completely free. KZhead is largely or completely financed by advertising.
@@Eugenepanels There's no need to. The fact that you - or I - are watching is sufficient revenue.
this was fucking remarkable
Glad you’ve got so many Subs, been following you for years, totally deserved. You’ve got a fantastic calm voice, so very therapeutic with such intelligent contents. Thank you! 👍😎
everytime i watch your documentaries I ask myself how you can gather all this information and piece it so neatly and how long it takes you to do a video like this. you are so good at this
Imagine having ”Worked on developing the 1st iphone” on your resume
that was dave matthews (the sandler movie)
I don’t think you’d need to ever write a resume if you were involved in developing the first iPhone lol.
I bet they are not allowed to by some contractual obligation.
"What did it cost?" "Everything."
@Stellvia Hoenheim Interesting thought. But touch technology had already been out for a while then, just not refined properly. Natural development would have meant more generations of useless devices on the market
“ it’ll only be good to read something on a toilet” 0-0 -uses my phone on the toilet
LaMeri I prefer iPad for this
I was watching this on the toilet lol
This statement is still correct.
That quote sold me on ColdFusion's subscription.
Yes...Steve Jobs had predicted the future. I am in the toilet now reading the comments on my iphone....lol..
This is so informative. So much sacrifices. Pray it's better for all and all concerned. God bless y'all and your families. Thanks ColdFusion. 🙏
The final shots of all the awesome people who left Apple is hard-hitting. So much potential, such a high stake in the products and they left, most of them fired. This is really sad.
18:15 So they had a problem with the headphone jack since the very beginning
Ironically, I’m watching this on a toilet
Look at 15:15 he is using an adapter
It makes it easier to hack any device with the headphone jack. every hacker knows that.
It’s still mind blowing to think how a technology that we take for granted today had such a rocky development. Every person who helped make the original iPhone should be recognized by everyone in the history books.
Right? I feel so grateful now, Imagine if this didn't catch on or somehow failed, we're still gonna be using keypad phones.
It's because they were all paid off for pennys and signed NDAs (non-disclosure agreements). Their work was for-hire. Apple paid them for their work and owns it now. Without Apple the company they wouldn't have accomplished anything on their own.
all of human innovation is just rich assholes stealing ideas from the working class and having the money or connections to actually push said invention into more than a prototype stage - all being praised in their time as if they planned or designed it themselves - all the while those people who actually did the hard work are not even footnotes. Henry Ford, Alexander Gram Bell, Thomas Edison, Leonardo DaVinchi... and our generations poster boy "Steve Jobs" are all the same. Guys who got credit for the accumulation of hundreds of other peoples sleepless nights and hard work.
@@meisterl0 it would have been invented anyway. Technology isnt bound to one person or one companys plans or happy accidents. It was next in line in the natural progression of technical progression, only hijacked and branded by apple in the same way they had purchased Xerox technology to make the First Mac PC OS. They saw it (by accident) and said hey we could sell that! So paid off xerox. The only thing apple actually invented was the method of fooling people into paying a premium price for under performing devices - the tech would probably be even further along if Apple didnt exist as it wouldnt all be locked behind ridiculously priced paywalls and poorer children would be able to grow up using better technology, leading toward the NEXT technological step... and so on.
hey amphibia fan
This is an incredibly well done documentary outlining such a big moment in our recent past, one that people often seem to forget. Thank you for making this; for shedding like on this world changing event and all the people who made it happen. Well done!
Incredible content. Thank you so much. I had one of these first iPhones imported to Germany when noone even knew what the buzz was all about and there was no way to even own one here in Germany. Went through all the unlocking stuff ... I had it until 2020 (not used ;) ) and sold it to a collector. Man, what a time.
I think the world should realize that it wasn't just steve jobs who created the iphone as it is made to believe . It was a collective effort of each and every person in that project.
Yes BUT if the collective had their way the first attempt at the iPhone would have been released - Jobs knew it wasn't good enough - the collective were happy with everyone agreeing - AKA compromise.
@@pendleeldnep So, could any other guy. If people can't distinguish good from bad, every product would be success.
everything is a collective effort.. but someone deserves that credit/ takes that credit
@@coolbuddyshivam name them
*wasn't just
Actually it's sad to know that Wayne Westerman the "Multi touch" guy wasn't invited for the 2007's event.
Especially since he's like the only og who is still at apple 😂
Well this shows how amazing person was steve jobs !!! Horrible father , fired the guy that put apple again on the map after the disaster days of 90 Scullys ,creating the ipod !And says apple creates multitouch a lie and dont even invite the creator off the tech to the keynote! Horrible guy ,now is dead and i dont care !
@@gvibes69 yup,but because he was an asshole we have these smartphones now.
Why? So Steve can lie without feeling the guilt of lying to someone in the face?
Well, it just goes to CONFIRM that THIEVES-( who steal ideas) do very well in this Tech world. 2 who did this very well..Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
Thank you ColdFusion for the great videos!
Thank you for introducing me to Ken Kocienda's name! Apple's keyboard, auto correct, and AI adaptation to my typing is the best in the industry. That Apple feature always impressed me.
Appreciative the Hard Work in making this Documentary
Thank you Mr.ColdFusion
This is one of the few channels that implements background music perfectly. Awesome stuff.
And i think he made the soundtracks himself
Especially satisfying with headphones!
Im happy im not the only one that thinks that this too is amazing also
Great job man! I’ve watched a bunch of your videos, but wasn’t sold, however, today I became a subscriber! Keep up the great work!
The more i watch these videos, the more I realise that Jobs was a good product dev, but by no means was the genius he's made out to be. So many people who i don't know came up with such incredible ideas
Just a point… “genius” is 100% linked to creativity and innovation and therefore product development. Genius is not typically a word one would associate with Management or People Development, leadership etc. Therefore that title is not really out of place.
He was the face, like POTUS
He never invented anything. Just a good salesboy.
@@SpreadAU what is "potus," some kind of bacterial infection...?
“Wow another iPhone history video “ Boy was I wrong. Absolutely the best video I’ve seen on the subject. Your video is the iPhone of iPhone videos. Great work!
Yeah, this definitely was the best. It goes into so much about the history of the iPhone that many (including myself) didn't know. It's crazy how much goes into some of the simple things like the "bounce" when you get to the bottom of a list, the swipe to unlock the phone and everything else. So much information, but the video was done in a beautiful way that keeps you engaged.
This video reveals a lot on the pain & sacrifices endured to revolutionise humans' lives that we take for granted nowadays. Another well made mini-documentary Dagogo! Keep it up! 👍🏽
one of those guys went to my high school
A big thankyou to all those guys that helped to invent such products
I remember when the first Iphone came out. It blew my mind how good it was. Felt 10 years ahead of anything else
This Ken guy is a legend, together with all the others!
steve was a computer guy who realized we're vain, entertainment craving idiots so he made the first true computer for the masses: iphone
@@matthewchunk3689 Nah, he realized that people's time and efforts meant nothing and that in the end they wouldn't need to be credited for their own designs and creations. All he was, was another puppet man who made money off the people who worked under him, and never really gave them the credit they deserve(d).
My respect for Steve Jobs has fallen through the roof and melted right through the foundation of my mental representation of Apple Inc My people believe that he was a great innovator. He was a developer -a term which is currently associated with people who create and invent- but his process of development is not worthy of praise. Down with Apple! It's no longer a company that innovates, it's just another money-grubbing organization that leads it's giant yet dwindling fanbase to spend money on products that are inferior to what is on the market today.
Dplus_AlphaR4 The iphone is still the best till this day there's no competition
@@6IaI wow wow wow, stop right there! While, the iPhone is definitely *currently*, the most powerful device on the market, there is still a LOT of competition out there, and if they don't keep up a certain standard they'll be easily outpaced by Huawei or Samsung.
To those who gave years of their lives, and to those whom Apple ignored: THANK YOU for your sacrifice and for creating such an amazing product. You’ve made a mark on the world!
TCPUDPATM PORTS Especially working for HORRIBLE Steve Jobs. Can’t imagine what they had to put up with
@@TheTruthSeeker756 yeah but without his consistent refusal to settle for anything less than great they would have ended up with some dog shit product. Steve Jobs was a dick, but also a talented leader, and we wouldn't be where we are right now without him.
If you buy Apple's crappy productsyou're a fucking dumbass and hypocrite as you're supporting these kind of unnecesary practices. He might have been ahead of time by some years but eventually this kind of UIs would have been developed by competitors in time without having to sacrifice your employees.
@@lolyermad He was not a talented leader, he was a good businessman and also a good manipulator of talented people. Saying that Jobs was a talented leader is like saying that slave plantation owners were talented leaders too because they could produce tons of raw materials.
The Truth obviously you're not up to the task
Excellent video, very interesting. It really shows how insane the iPhone was, the imagination and creativity of the engineers and developers is just incredible.
In 2003 I met Jobs at Whole Foods in Palo Alto. I was able to get past the throngs of sheep following him I showed him my shiny new Windows Mobile Phone. He said "who would watch a video the size of a postage stamp and then asked me how many times I had lost my stylus already, lol. I never even got to answer and he was basically shuffled forward away from me by the crowd. He looked kinda sickly at that point even.
Behind one man's fame, there are 1000s hours of hard work by 100s of people, but no one ever gives them any credits. 1 year later update: I can't believe how many replies I got defending the normality of idolizing a tyrant that was mostly a marketer rather than a true inventor. I have a friend who worked at Apple during those times, Jobs was a rude, cold control freak, and most of the designs are from the people he enslaved. It's one thing to say Bell invented the telephone but a much different than saying Job invented the iphone. Sure, most engineers does not get the credit for what they did, but no one idolized a single person for creating a game, a product, heck, I don't think anyone idolize Bill Gate for popularize home pc by creating the window system, at least he was doing engineering task with his team while Jobs just outsmarted Xerox by stealing what they had from under their nose, or completely ripped of his "friend" Steve Wozniak.
Agreed. That's why I never obsess over a multi-millionaire/billionaire or put them on a pedestal because success like that is a product of team work, sometimes even from exploiting people. I don't get why tons of people worship Steve. He's one of the world's greatest marketers, not like he engineered all that.
@@andeleon6838 well said, we really need to appreciate efforts of all those not just their boss.
Yeah I too think that sometimes
@@JaskyVerse it’s the difference between 1 person we all would remember, and 100’s we would all forget. Don’t forget Steve had to convince these people to dedicate their lives to his vision.
one word: money
Wayne Westerman didn't got the recognition he deserved...
he probably got the $$$$$

What an incredible example of how innovating technology for the purpose of disability adaptation benefits everyone and not just those for whom it was originally designed!
I mean, just innovating technology period.
Fair, but my specific point is that when disabled people ask for technologies to be accessible to them, whether for physical difficulties like this example, or for input/output difficulties like blindness or deafness, many companies are of the opinion that spending the effort to make their products more accessible for those folks is an extravagant expense to take on for such a niche population. But in fact, many times the solutions that end up being developed result in new technologies that benefit a much larger population than could ever have been predicted.
@@CoreenMontagna Yeah, but I'm trying to say thag regardless kf the existance of permananet disabilities this innovation would happen. Say your hand cramps up, someone would innovate for that. If there's a problem then there will be innovation around it. Also, who's to say that disabilities aren't actually *crippling* innovation, because ordinarily cool things are being earmarked for a niche market. I.e mouse and keyboard useage with the ipad. (Edit) just realized that I made a dad pun. Nice.
I’m honestly really interested to see where the disability focused Xbox controller goes. From what I’ve seen the people who have used it generally liked it!
Interesting how the pad's name is "iGesture"
What if Steve Jobs was actually a time traveler who went into a future where fingerworks had already created an iPhone and then came back to steal the idea? I'm fairly sure that's a plot to an episode in Star Trek...
Did they get the whole "i" thing from them? I saw that and just assumed that's where Apple got it from.
j g Apple already launched iMacs and iPods prior to this. So, no. Apple didn’t steal the “i” from anybody.
The most felt "Thank you" to all of those who invented the smartphone, and which haven't been rightfully being told "Thanks" for their incredible work. For the better or the worse, you changed the world...
Yeah, now I'm dependent on this freaking phone.
Or a Netflix documentary about the Iphone battery...don't bury the lead !
Best documentary I've ever seen about the history of iPhone. Good work!
Imagine being 'sensitive in nature' and working with Steve Jobs...
He wouldn't have kept a person like that.
*working for
Sensitivity is actually a double edged sword. It can be a liability, but it can also be used to understand what people want better, and even manipulate them. You'd be surprised how many "rational" and "facts and logic" people can be swayed by pushing the right emotional buttons.
Dude 😂😂

ooooooh i cant control my laughter
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. the costs to develop this were insane but the world has "changed forever" because of all of those hard workers. I love everything yall have done for the world.
Thank you for this video Dagogo & Cold Fusion team, very insightful. The history is fascinating. 🧐 All those who were involved in this magnificent project of the iPhone thanks for your untold dedication & sacrifices.
Public:"Did you do it? Did you change the world?" Apple developers:"Yes" Public:"What did it cost?" Apple Developers:"Everything"
Other CEO: you are fired Steve jobs: I'm deleting your number

Jag såg så många rekommendationer om Trevorhack_01 på Instagram då jag fick honom meddelad till största förvåning att han fick mitt hackade Instagram-konto återställd framgångsrikt .

It’s sad that this documentary doesn’t have more views, I mean like this is the most informative documentary I’ve seen about the original iPhone. We should share this with people so that they can too appreciate the stuff that went into the devices we hold in our hands.
Yea this video is too amazing.
Nerds are far and few between.
But Apple and Steve Jobs do not want people to know all of this .
its because of the title, people just think its another iphone presentation video and probably don't click on it because they've seen many before... i wasn't going to click on it...but i did - because 1) coldfusion 2) time uploaded meaning its new 3) Coldfusion person biography video that has told me what a guy he is and how he makes these awesome videos...
I really loved my Nokia N95 black and my Nokia E71 back in those days. They had everything one needed, from MP3, to GPS and WLAN, also touch display and voice recording was integrated. Nothing was missing.😃 Back then I had been working at Volkswagen‘s „AutoUni“ science division, as the company founded university was called.
One of the wild things about the original iPhone for me, in hindsight, is how the first model ran on Edge networks. I find that interesting because Edge as a network is so slow when it comes to the internet that I can’t imagine that the phones internet capabilities on the original model were all that great. They probably seemed great for the time when considering where technology was at the time, but I’ll always wonder just how useful any of the web features were on that original model. I do remember that as a young kid when the first model came out that I was just amazed for something like it to exist. I was 13 when it was announced so it was just mind blowing. But I didn’t end up using an iPhone until I bought an iPhone 4 from somebody in 2011 when they had just bought a 4s. For a lot of years I’ve usually switched between iPhone and android. It’s kinda ironic in a way that for a phone that was so revolutionary at the start that in later years it really has never made more jumps like that. It’s still a great phone, which I use currently, but it is kinda ironic how the company that was so far ahead at the beginning has now generally been a few steps behind about technology and features released in their new devices each year.
Or other things like true GPS navigation on the device. Motorola droid had it in 2009. I don’t think apple got it until 2012.
Cold Fusion never disappoints at quality contet, always delivers.
This is actually sad it sounds like they used their employees pushed them to the brink of insanity and gave them no thanks, acknowledgement or even cash just gradually fired them. To all those people hopefully one day who read this who created not only the iPhone but contibute to everyday things that improve everyone's lives and are never acknowledged, thank you, the world thanks you and we appreciate you.
They pay stock, and these guys mostly have two or three Cupertino houses, which, you know, each worth 2+ million dollars.
They made a neat phone, not cured cancer
@@paolocoletti3424 they weren't even paid salaries ?
@@paolocoletti3424 they changed the course of how the world does business and normal life things with this innovative technology.
They don’t need a thank you, they need to get payed.
Just watched this again after having watched it multiple times before. Great video! Thank you a lot! :)
Extremely insightful and well-presented documentary, good job!
This video literally saved my life. I've been working on a groundbreaking project for 4 years with the backing of 50+ family and friend investors. It (through impatience) has caused me to lose the relationships with my father and brother, many close friends, my home (I'm writing this from a tent on one of my friend/investor's property), my girlfriend, my dog, and recent weeks, my mental health to the point of being apathetically suicidal. The only thing that has kept me from not doing it these last few weeks is the undying commitment of the handful of people I call "my team" who has been the backbone of everything we've done, for almost no pay the entire time. They too have endured these same losses I've endured, but their commitment and fortitude has humbled and comforted me. I am so inspired to learn about this story behind the iPhone, that was only realized through a group of people who were challenged to their absolute limits. My faith in humanity has been restored. My faith in myself has been restored. Thank you so much for your continued amazing work, @ColdFusion, but especially for this one. I am forever indebted to you.
Awnnnn😢 I'm afraid we don't care🙄😒 bring it on that's it !!!
@@jaymimosa4594 you're a sad excuse for a human.
Paul Marek Don’t feed the trolls
@Paul Marek, Hello, hang in there. I always respect people involved in innovations, researches and all forms of development because they always try to make the world a better place than it already is. As long as you have the support you need from your team, family and friends, I am sure your project will turn out successful in time. You're gonna be okay!
Man i feel you. I hope things turn around for you.
"It could only be used to read something in the toilet" Wow, Steve Jobs predicted way early
The dude that told him about it invented it, yet Job’s took the credit
Jobs is a piece of shit, got thrown out of Apple for a reason, made his fortune with Pixar and then got bailed out twice when he came back as Apple almost went out of business
No he didn't. He failed to mention that it'll change what society used to do: Socializing with each other in person. He also failed to mention how unsafe it is to use one while driving and how annoying it is to use while at an intersection with the light green and the person is just sitting on their phone.
Julian Duran I agree with you
Those who all hate Steve Jobs must understand, without his vision and attitude there will be no Mac, which inturn help bill gates for windows. There will be no iphone which inturn help google to make android. So what ever he took credit he earn that. We can blame him, but cant avoid him and his contributions. He is one of the best persons who change technology for human use. By the way, a great video.
A couple of things about this: 1) It was never called iOS to start off with. It was always iPhone OS. The name was only changed with the introduction of iOS 4 - three years after the introduction of the iPhone. 2) Apple didn't start off designing the iPhone first. It was originally the tablet that was being worked on. Steve even said that the tablet came first and then they shelved it to work on the phone. Once the phone was done, they then started work on the tablet. Aside from that, great documentary.
Thank you for the video. It's pure #NOSTALGIA. I miss it all - from Steve, Tevanian, Rubinstein, etc. to the early days of Mac OS X (a desktop operating system that, at its conception 21 years ago, is still unmatched by the most recent Windows OS), iOS, the early iPhone, the early iPad, the PowerBooks & iBooks, the early iMacs, the stupid, extremely inefficient PPC chips and architecture and the somewhat unexpected transition to the Intel chips, the Palm, the PalmOS and the short-lived webOS, the primitive and buggy Pocket PCs, the MiniDisk and a lot more... While current tech is a thousand times superior in most respects, those were the years, very nostalgic... The youngsters of today take the technology as a given, but those of us who lived through the development of tech, know better. RIP, Steve.
It all began with a quote. "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
Picasso´s quote.
@@Ulexcool I deliberately didn't mention Picasso cos it's spread everywhere.
A KZhead video was done a while back asking people to write in anything they thought Steve Jobs actually created. Going all the way back to the Apple II. Not one thing could be found that he himself created. They were all other people within Apple or an idea stolen from another company. There used to be a great photo floating around the internet of the iPhone sitting next to an early touch screen Samsung device. In looks alone, they were practically identical. Apple steals. They don't create.
And then Steve Jobs tried to destroy Android :D
So, essentially, bullies come out on to
Deleting Tony during the live iPhone demo in front of the world was just plain savage.
Most savage in-joke/in-roast.
Why did he fired him tho?????
18:15 So they had a problem with the headphone jack since the very beginning
@@kalpnasharma1929 Tony was combative and fought with everyone, he quit 2 times and I think Steve had enough when his team failed.
I learned more about Steve Jobs through this video . . . and I like him less. I’ve heard stories about Tony, who has also been a CEO, but that is no way to treat any person.
These people really did change the world. This was the first real smartphone as we know them today. It not only paved the way for all of our devices but also paved the way for ARM computing architecture to be in a position to take over in a way nobody could have imagined.
Thanks for the sacrifice of all these involved. We love the product!
25:08 The savagest and cruelest way to fire employee.
Steve was always innovating in that too haha
The employee who actually worked hard to build that iPhone. Irony
Viji I know, right?
This was a dramatic way to frame it for this youtube video, but I'm not sure this actually had anything to do with Fadell getting fired from Apple. He stayed with Apple for another two years before leaving and founding Nest Thermostat in 2010.
The most savage.* _"Savagest"_ is not a word. And makes me cringe.
You're watching Cold Fusion TV, this line gets me up everytime. I watch the videos only for this line 👍
I love it too...

@@kenyaahglass3433 Hi, im sorry can ya translate in English.
These videos are so soothing and yet very exciting! Great work.
Huge respect for the engineers and geniuses at apple and middle finger for steve
Had Steve Jobs not pushed them, they wouldn't have done the great work. Ofcourse it's horrible but true. Tim Cook can't push people to do such things so Apple doesn't make ground breaking products
The problem is not the pushing and squeezing the “very best” out of people. The problem was not being recognized or acknowledged
Tony Fadell Also invented the company “NEST” and sold it to google recently for 1.3 Billion 💰
Tony was also a member of the General Magic team. A product that was way ahead of its time and was the beginning of the smartphone...it was a PDA...Apple was an investor and took that info and made the Newton and released it earlier to kill buzz for General Magic. Fantastic doc about it on Showtime Anywhere. Highly recommend it.
Michael G and you’re a broke bitch 😂
I don't understand why did he get fired
Tony Fadell also invented life on earth!!!!
@Michael G Couldn't you have said this nicely?
“The iPod Enlarging Team” 🤣
vs "The iMac shrinking team" xD
iphone is... a ipod that can made phone call... back then it don't had app store....
@@ilyesmilyesm2576 mac software on the phone is not bad idea... today still is.... ask any macbook owner....
What people may not know is that Apple first developed the multi-touch interface on a tablet-sized device that would later become the iPad. They didn't release the tablet first because versions built on Intel processors consumed too much power, and the ARM-based processor wasn't ready. Only after the iPhone shipped did Apple go back to the tablet and release the iPad.
Great story. One of Job’s superpowers was being a master manipulator of brilliant people. He knew how to strike their ego to achieve what he wanted. He offered them to be part of something great, he pit them against each other, he really knew how to squeeze them good. But the most unbelievable thing is how these brilliant people seemed to never realize how they were being manipulated, perhaps until it was too late and by then they were used, abused or thrown away. The fact that previous prominent Apple team members still have “feuds” between each other, and not only with Jobs, just shows how masterful he was at manipulating them. Jobs is probably still snickering about this in the afterlife.
This happened to a friend of mine. He was educated at an Ivy League. He was a brilliant engineer. While he was making good money, his company went from being worth $10 million to $100 million. He retired in shame, and realized his company just used him. Jobs understood management science perfectly. While Apple engineers were making $50,000 a year, his stock was worth half a billion. His real genius was understanding people.
I love the notion of the innovation, that it is never a "light bulb" thing, but an evolutionary trial and error
Well, it is a light bulb thing to an extent, but then it gets refined by trial and error.
@@liteoner nope..its trial and error always
Right now, innovation has become a joke and no more some kind of light bulb.
@@jabhishekpaul ok
This is why I love this channel! Learned a lot from your videos! Smashed the like button the moment I saw the title, I knew this was going to be a "good one"! Keep it up my friend!
I know this will never happen, but they should make a movie out of this. What a bittersweet story. All of that stress, anxiety, personal tragedy, obsession, and desperation ultimately lead to arguably the most important innovation of the 21st century.
Yes! Up until the end. Very good work of research and documentation. Very well explained.
28 yrs old..and this is my first time to have an i phone mobile,,, i bought iphone 11 pro max 3days ago... and i’m having fun using it rightnow... iphone is really amazing and truly magical... give credit to those people who made it possible specially steve jobs,, thank you sir
Wait till you find out what other phones nowdays are capable of
Comes from Chinese sweat shops though
Try galaxy
@@namanverma1282 galaxy is good, but not the best. Try Mi 11 Ultimate

14:53 i can't imagine how stressful it must be for the development team to see Steve struggle to get it to work on stage, the disappointment on his face was so huge
Someone is getting fire
@@wong03333 Not just fired. He would publically humiliate workers on stage in front of entire company and then fire them
It's clear that someone getting fired after that
@@sorryi6685 Rightly so.
@@moserfugger6363 if you think that is right then you have a problem
After watching it carefully, I cried with joy. So many tears and efforts in the making of something outside of box(es)
I never understood those who say they hate apple or the iPhone. They started what the smartphone is today
This is really a touching story. I deeply thank the producer for your time and energy in this research. God bless you.
Multi-touching
And all those years I was wondering whether Steve deleting Tony Fadell‘s contact was some kind of foreshadowing. Now I know.
My heart breaks for the 'married guys'. Hopefully they were forgiven and are doing better relationship and health wise now.
Why did he fired him tho????????
@@kalpnasharma1929 he didn't get fired, he left apple
@@kalpnasharma1929 Tony Fadell had a falling out with Jony Ive, and in the end Steve Jobs sided with Ive.
The best documentary about Apple that I ever seen in my life,better than the official movie about Steve job or any other documentary. Hands down..
I've read many books on Apple/Steve and have never heard of many of these stories including the Rokr. Great video!!!
