iPhone 1 - Steve Jobs MacWorld keynote in 2007 - Full Presentation, 80 mins

"Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything ..." Steve Jobs said during a MacWorld keynote in 2007 and this was definitely hyperbole but the introduction of the original iPhone was a major moment in mobile history. With news that Jobs is resigning as Apple CEO, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at Jobs' showing the world the first iPhone.

It was innovative back then. Nowadays it’s just copy paste from last years model with some minor changes for extra bucks. I’ve been an Android user for many years, mainly Samsung Galaxy Note 1, 3, 8, 10, then moved to iPhone and was surprised how prehistoric the iOS is. Sweet Jesus… I tried to copy all my data from Note 10 into iPhone 14 using a cable and PC for nearly a week. It allows to copy with iTunes or iCloud but only supported files. And I used my 500 GB as an external storage, with many files that are not supported by iPhone. Hence - cannot be copied into its memory. I like how smooth iPhone was compared to many other phones, but it’s so prehistoric system I hate it with all my heart. Moving back to Samsung this year.

[@WatercraftGames]

​@@Daniel-ti3pv I don't think iOS is inherently bad and I actually see some pros it has, the reason why you call it "prehistoric" is because Apple actively restricts features so users don't have as much control with their phones, which sucks.

[@MyLifeAsLouis]

It's because none of other phones could do that at the time. I owned a Nokia & Sony Ericsson back in '07 & using physical buttons to scroll was a pain in the ass. And there were no option for zooming as well. The only fast web browser was Opera but it only load simplified view of websites. The Walkman app in the Sony phone was the best music player (even better than Nokia's Xpress music) but that ipod app in the iphone blew them outta the water.

[@richsalazme]

Yeah because before smartphones, the compatibility of websites in mobile browsers were sh*t. Even in 2010, years after the first iPhone, websites are still a pain to use on phones. The only popular and easy way to communicate via internet back then was with email. The was really nothing much to do on the internet back in 2007. I remember, the only entertaining part of the internet back then was KZbin, Friendster, Yahoo messenger, and flash games. There wasn't much content on youtube, just random people and their home videos, friendster wasn't really addictive, no one sits around all day talking in YM, and flash games get boring over time

[@foskco87]

People were still thinking of it in terms of previous cell phones and how crappy they were to browse the web on, which is probably why they were less enthusiastic about the idea.

Prior to this if you wanted to enjoy music you needed to have a walkman. If you wanted to have a music collection or library you needed to go buy physical CDs for that walkman. If you wanted to take pictures you needed to have a camera. If you wanted to have a library or album of those pictures you needed to have the photos developed and printed. If you wanted to communicate with others you needed to have a phone and if you wanted to use the internet you needed to have a computer….which for a period of time for anyone old enough to remember if you wanted to use the internet you couldn’t use the phone at the same time. Jobs put all of these things into one handheld, touch screen device you could put in your pocket and take with you wherever you went.

I think part of the audience's lack of reaction is that, at that time, people were already used to having websites and Internet on computers. It's just that, now, they're available on mobile phones, too. Watching this, sometimes I forget what technologies (like Internet and websites) already existed at the time, and I only realize based on what the audience applauds or doesn't applaud at. Like how they didn't applaud as profoundly for websites as they did for things like scrolling and pinching images, which--it's crazy to think and easy to overlook--were completely new to people at the time.
