I love to see this! It was a big reason I posted this section of the Keynote a few days after Steve Jobs died in October 2011. It's got a copyright claim on it from Dow Jones, and as a result, I can't monetize my RU-vid channel unless I remove it - but it's worth keeping it up here for the educational and historic value. I enjoy the comments section very much as well. Thanks for watching, and be sure to thank your teachers!
It got me when I was watching a vid on iPods and it made me realize that in a few years people will probably not even remember what that was since the iPhone took on them iPod functions
I remember the times when if you have an iPhone - you're special lol. Now if you have an iPhone you're another freak who pays credit for a new phone in most cases.
@@wheeltorque3383 *posts this emoji from their smartphone* proves the point lol. You're either a boomer or zoomer and truly do not understand how revolutionary this was.
This presentation kick started the careers of Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi. Skyrocketed the careers of Samsung and Sony. Ended the careers of Nokia and Blackberry.
Steve Jobs has never lied about any of his products, unlike another dude who stole mac source code, edited it and made his own company with it, ehmm forgot his name...
@@Andromediens I totally agree to youe point of view but if gates hadn't copied mac source code or anything else from steve jobs we wouldn't have got cost effective operating systems like we have now.
This is genuinely such an important piece of historical footage. He’s confident in saying that the device is revolutionary but I don’t think he could have foreseen the extent of it.
@@KurthardtJr What I was trying to say was about the trend of screens getting bigger: eventually with wearing VR headsets or Augmented Reality glasses the screen will be "as big as it gets"
Senior Quackington The III Hmm it's very unlikely you both have got Malaria. I'm now thinking..... Steve Jobs has dabbled with the spirit realm. Some voodoo shit perhaps?
Notice how the crowd laughed when Steve mentions using our fingers to control the phone. That's because something like that seemed unthinkable and impossible. Look where we are now.
I think they laughed because it seemed so natural to use our fingers. But nobody came up with it before. And it perfectly fits into apple’s easy-to-use’ approach.
This is historical. It ended Nokia as phone producer and it introduced something nobody knew they would need and once it was there it was the most logical thing ever.
Top 3 things that bring people together: 1. Christmas 2. Thanksgiving 3. RU-vid algorithm Edit: since (for some reason?) people are genuinely getting offended by the holidays I've listed, I'd like to formerly and wholeheartedly say: I don't care.
It's funny how people didn't cheer too loudly when he said "Internet communications device" as compared to ipod and mobile phone but later on that became the primary function of a smart phone.
The mobile internet was shit back then. Mostly text, slow as hell, no real functionality. No one could have imagined being on the internet and getting the same experience as being on a PC.
That speech literally went down in history as most famous case of false advertisement. First iPhone was extremely outdated. All "features" he markets were common in other phones.
It's literally utility and entertainment in one slab. You can see anything you want. Hear anything you want. Read anything you want. Take pictures of anything you want. Write anything you want. Draw anything you want. Travel with it wherever. Call anyone. Say anything you want. Dependable, affordable. Truly a remarkable invention. Use it correctly, you'll change your life.
As an apple sheep id disagree with this. Apple events have changed a ton for sure, but a lot of the core is still there. They still always have a giant screen behind them with usually only a few pieces of text, one graph, one image, etc. And I’d argue that the overproduction is the reason why many people love new apple events, the editing is absolutely insane. Of course, it’s not live and feels more artificial, but it still feels special.
It’s not like they are going back on their ways. 2007 is long way back and back then small was the thing but now people use their phones for business like sending emails and running business so a large screen is well needed. I wouldn’t say the average consumer needs to spend $1200 but these new big phones are meant to quickly replace a computer while you are in the go until you can get back to the office or home.
I was there, sitting pretty close up. Everyone knew what was coming, but the build up was so much fun. I got my iPhone on my birthday, July 1, 2007. Everyone at my gym laughed at me telling me that it would never replace the Blackberry.
@@nadeemshaikh7863 No they're overpriced stateside too. Jobs did a good job running the show but things have gone downhill since he passed. Anyone that has to work on Apple products will tell you they're full of "what the fuck" engineering flaws (fans that don't move air, heatsinks that don't work, etc). Fuck it, though. People pay for the brand.
@@rickrandom6734 Pretty much every phone before iPhone that had any type of touch functionality was a complete crap though. I think it's a fair claim that they indeed reinvented it. On launch their touch screen was definitely the best. Kind of sad that once being the most innovative phone ever, is now years behind from it's competitors (looking at functionalities).
It is pretty funny! But I posted this section of the keynote for historic reasons, knowing the iPhone is potentially the biggest technological invention of my lifetime. It is, in my view, the most disruptive technological achievement of the 21st century. Steve Jobs knew this on that day, and gave us all a masterclass in how to reveal a new product.
Thats because the last one is a stretched out "device" he added to make the number of devices 3 instead of 2 which would not sound as nice. At that time mobile phones already were also "internet communicators", so basically could be just two things
This is so trippy to watch in 2019 knowing now that every phone that has been released since this is just ideas built upon this single moment. Incredible.
And yet, things haven't really changed at all. Other than processing power and screen quality - which are not exclusively phone technologies - what else has changed since the first generation of iPhone?
Maybe but the iPhone was definitely ahead of every device before it because its advantages outweighed everything else. The only down side is the battery and the fragility of the screen which is not a big price to pay considering all the advantages and the better qualities.
Imagine if Steve Jobs was alive, we wouldn't have worthless junk like weird 3d emojis that follow your face and talk. STEVE JOBS PLEASE COME BACK FOR A DAY AND MAKE IOS MORE PRODUCTIVE!!! I BEG YOU!!!
I was blown away with this presentation. Went all in on AAPL stock at around $5 a share after the iPhone release. Wife and I retired early at 49 recently and moved to Greece. Thank you Jobs and Apple.
I have an iPhone (corporate), and an Android (personal). I use both, but like my Android more than iPhone. Yet I wouldn't have it (my Android) without Apple creating the iPhone and setting the path for Google and Samsung, and Huawei, etc. Here we can see a real revolution happening. I don't know if those guys in the crow even guessed what is happening, what they are part of.
It really did. Smartphones literally enabled places like Africa to skip past a whole stage of technological development into things like mobile banking
@@mrkring1526 i thought the same back then. my father got an iphone right when it came out, i was about 13. he was convincing me it was the future, but i was a stubborn kid and thought it was just another gimmick phone. then the iphone 3g came out and he got it and gave me the old iphone. for a couple of years i didnt see a single phone that was comparable to it. most phones had plastic screens and were half responsive, no multitouch, 3+ front buttons. apps sucked dick too. the touchscreen, the os and software, apple was waaay ahead in the technology. only after 4-5 years samsung started catching up, before that it was just laughable.
A mistake is to think this came out of the blue and just popped in his mind. Touch screen devices were around. And clearly there was where the tech was headed. There were industrial touch screen devices, similar to a rugged tablet of today. This is not his singlehanded merit. He just happened to package something that was already there and be a bit bold to cut the cords of the past (physical keyboard) a bit quicker. It is a bit like presenting today smartglasses. We already know we are headed there. Its not news.
I actually was in engineering school (electrical) in 2005 programming Siemens touch screens and thinking 'oh boy, this trash is too complicated and doesn't work properly'. A few years later I realized how wrong I was.
@@javierortiz2815 they used to be really innovative at that time, but now after Steve Jobs death its basically all going downhill and their products are just not better than the rest anymore
Honestly, I truly believe this to be the most impactful thing in our era. There are events that are more important (9/11, etc.) but this is the beginning of a completely new way of living as a whole. A cultural shock. Truly, world changing
absolutly true. watching this in 2024 feels like watching back into the time when english and spanish fleets set sail to unknown lands behind the horizon, unknown lands await.
I think it depends on what you mean by "this". If you mean the development of the smartphone itself, then yes, _that_ was mightily impactful. If you mean Apple's role in it, then no...while it was very significant, it wans neither unique nor primary. Apple was just one of several companies in the game, and if Steve Jobs had never been born, then we'd still have smartphones today.
Well, it was giant compared to the Nokia candy bar phone screens common then.. what people forget that one of the big things about mobiles before smart phones was making them as small and light as possible; my Nokia back then weighed only 80 grams and measured about 10 cm x 4 cm.
Yes I know it was compared to the flip phones and keyboarded phones and was huge in 2007 I’m just pointing at the fact that today the IPhone 2G is Tiny
i mean i bought my second iphone 8, as i cant switch to a newer device without any home button and an ugly bar at the top. big screens are not as important to me. there is a limit. i dont want to have a smaller ipad in my pants, there is a limit to screen size, bigger is not better,
iPad is honestly the best selling tablet in the market with users varying from Academics segments to Medicals and many more. If I had to say the first gen iPad was a crippled product.
I prefer iPad and use an Android as a phone. IDK why people were going to iPod Touch and iphones for smartphones, unless you have major money balling with two jobs and syncing schedules here and there, then be it.
I remember a friend that use to work on an Apple Store on that time, he was trying to explain to me the difference of the IPhone compare to the other phones on that time. “Imagine you now you can buy a regular car, than a company comes with a car that flies. That is the IPhone .
Watching this video I realized that is funny how the crowd didn't know how the world would change after the presentation. It made me think if we'll see another revolution like that some day.
I remember being in middle school and my Dad called me over to check out this upcoming presentation Apple was doing. I was just happy I got a break from homework but it was also intriguing. He told me he’s heard that something big is going to be shown. So he, my mom, and I gather around this iMac to watch. My memory isn’t perfect but I did remember the moment he explained that we now had touchscreens and an advanced hand-held computer. I remember playing tap tap revolution like crazy on it. There are many moments you weren’t aware of as significant in the moment. My mom was in Germany and heard that there was a major protest at the border wall. She decided to continue her trip and missed the Berlin Wall falling. There are few moments in my life where I felt, in the moment, that this was a historic event. I remember my dad taking me to the Hudson River in NJ, only a few days after 9/11, pointing out to the NYC skyline and asking me what looked different. I remember being in the airport while someone tried to give me a mask they brought, because there was a disease that was exploding in NYC (where we were headed). I remember waiting for the 2008 and 2016 election results and their aftermaths. I remember this presentation and looking back I still didn’t know just how significant it was.
@@kylemerryman2074 wow dude that is just incredible! I wonder if you or other people has stories like that to tell. The closest thing that happened to me was see a famous brazilian duo called Jorge & Mateus at Belém's airport when they were not too famous, back in 2010. Did I take a photo with them? No! I was too late and didn't know exactly who they were.
This is a masterclass of a presentation too. He's introducing us to one of the most significant inventions of the 21 century, and it's somehow still a light, fun speech filled with dad jokes.
One of the most significant inventions of the 21st century, really? One of the worst time and life sinks of the 21 century, maybe. Wozniak in 1976 created a device that allowed people to be creative, Jobs in 2007 introduced a device that made people to be more lazy.
the whole back bone was ideas themselves. that is what hyped it up. just simply being good. that's the best kind of hype. if someone talking about crypto it doesn't matter what hype tactic they use. the idea itself is stupid. I would turn away.
Watching this in 2021, and it is almost chilling watching Steve do his thing. That crowd is completely captivated, and there just hasn't been someone like him since.
Yeah it is weird. Steve Jobs is actually very creative. Nobody thinks about it, but srsly tho 13 years ago this kinda smart phone with touch controls is such a revolutionary idea. If it werent for him there wouldn't be any of the smartphones today.
@@majo9145 yes there would be... someone else would've come up with it. honestly, given how much we've went into the whole social media, being on our phones, socialising more over the internet, the rise of clickbait news and political tactics that take advantage of the fact everyone's got a phone and social media - i think we'd be much better off without it.
@@sturmgewehr449 ur very wrong actually. People were able to learn ALOT more by having a phone. Its very easy to use and it made life easier by being able to message people and keep track of stuff in life. Social media and News are just what people choose to see. I mean think about it ur using a phone?? or computer? if u think that devices are useless then no use of you being on RU-vid. you know for yourself that u need whatever device you use.
@@sturmgewehr449 let the fanboy worship his tech God lol. Like you said , somebody else would've done it. That's life. Any of us could create something new if it was meant to be. If it ain't me it's you
Remember being in school in 2007, I was friends with one of the very few in our school who had the first iPhone, as it was so expensive and Blackberries were still reigning at the time, it took a few years until they became more accessible and commonplace. We all gathered around her asking to hold it and try it out, we were all SO amazed haha. Like having the computer room Macs in your hand. Got my first iPhone in 2013 for my 20th birthday, iPhone 5. I still remember the day I got it and being like WOW. Now smartphones are just so apart of everyday life.
