I gotta admit, when they first put a camera in a phone, I thought it was the dumbest idea. Boy was I wrong on that one

[claytonwong]

Mind blowing facts of how a phone became a reality of modern life.

[heathercarden]

There is genius in being the idea guy sometimes. He may not have invented it but he figured out how to put it together, make it work and sell the hell out of it!

[mangeurdechocolatine]

They didn't invent anything. But they sure a found the way to sell them.💵💵💵💵

[sah]

It's like saying
"But the chef did not grow each of the ingredients in this awesome dish, by himself"

[popinmo]

The best inventors are those who take everyone else's great ideas and combines them

I just watched the keynote for the original iPhone (probably why this is in my recommendation list). Apple implemented more than just an iPod with a phone. They created the OS, multi-touch, pioneered the modern smartphone browsing experience, and created the first useable software keyboard. Most of these components were already around, but putting it all together and making them work seamlessly was a revolutionary step for its time.

[simisogumede]

They used the same principle with the vision pro, almost every new gimmick was used to test out how customers interact with what they envisioned the VP to be to make it as good as possible. ..MKBHD explainis it in greater detail

[ryanchad]

There a difference between invention and innovation. To innovate something is to take an existing invention and create something new from it. So while Apple didn’t invent the components of a smartphone they innovated the the technologies to to create a new product. Innovation might seem less impressive than an invention but to invent a brick is to burn clay. To innovate a brick is to repeatedly burn clay of different compositions and variable temperature to produce a brick that’s either stronger, cheaper or has a different color. Inventions are often accidental while innovation is hard work

[justsomeguy]

Blackberry invented the smart phone and because their security was so good and governments couldn't access you data they were blackballed and the iPhone took over. Also the first phone that could play music was a Samsung.

[razter]

If I remember my tech history correct, Apple didnt invent the Mac either. Xerox did and Apple bought it from them

[dragoneyetamer]

Wrong wording yes they didnt INVENT it but they still DEVELOPT there own versions of the stuff

[jamesboond]

The person that invented the pocket knife didn’t invent the knife but he was Abel to put many tools in a pocket.
It’s the same with the Phone.

[SpunkMayo]

Apple for the last ten years has been dumbing down the phone to make it the perfect tracking device that you can't change a single thing about.

[POVShotgun]

I miss the days when Neil focused on shit he did his PhD on rather than talking about random ass shit

[reveirg]

I remember Apple claiming to invent facial unlocking but I already had that on my samsung s2 or s3 back when I was still in school

[TheDJayblue]

I like the little League of Legends question mark ping sound when he said "why"

1995 Nokia 510 had a place for a camera sensor on its motherboard.
