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!!

[josepharq]

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

[vibesbynae]

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 👏

[hardestkhakis]

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.

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

[ibmp]

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

[OldBloodRKR]

"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.

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

[nicolainielsen]

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

[Marngel]

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.

[debanjanbarman]

Oh my god 34 min is over even didn't realised it.

[hossamgebeily]

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!

[YoungTang]

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.

Other CEO: you are fired



Steve jobs: I'm deleting your number

7:20 : "good for reading something on the toilet"

prophetic words.

[DionDriven]

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!💪

[jerryldavis]

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.

[TCPUDPATM]

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!

[Tigonx]

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

[gohan]

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.
