Documents and statements from the team working on the iPhone in its first version in 2007, which was a technological icon that history imitates, revealed that the device that was in the hands of the historical leader of Apple, Steve Jobs, was not real, and that Jobs’ presentation was theatrical and fabricated, as the device had not been completed. Actually from the hardware and system interface aspects, many aspects of the display were prepared so as not to show the real problems that the device suffered from on the ground, which prevented the completion of its manufacture at the time of the display.
According to Yahoo Finance, Jobs insisted on a live demonstration, and to ensure the success of his ambitious plan, the Apple development team established a pre-prepared path and deliberate steps of procedures designed to reduce the risk of real malfunctions appearing during the presentation, since the system interface and some operational matters had not been completed at the time. Jobs goes out in public to unveil the iPhone.
Jobs also requested that the network icon always show full signal strength, regardless of the actual signal quality, to convincingly display the phone’s wireless capabilities.
Before going on stage, the company also faced another major obstacle, which was the iPhone’s limited memory of 128 MB, which was not enough to run endless heavy applications. To overcome this, Jobs used several devices on stage, and switched between them sleight of hand to manage memory limitations.
Jobs spent five days repeating the demonstration, and on the day of the demonstration, despite the high risk of technical failure, Jobs completed the 90-minute continuous demonstration without any apparent problems, a feat considered almost a miracle by those who were familiar with the backend challenges.
