This is the iPhone introduction excerpt from the Macworld San Francisco 2007 Keynote Address January 9th, 2007. Steve Jobs made the claim that it was 5 years ahead of any other phone. AppleTV was also introduced that day.
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!
@@chsskyThey have actually. Most of the Apple's technologies they present to the people now was patented at the Steve Jobs' times and even after them. They just slowen the technological progress to get more profit.
It’s still amazing how much this one device changed the world. Steve isn’t perfect but he definitely saw the future, and it’s sad he isn’t here anymore. Rest in Peace sir, you made history and moved tech forward 👍
From 2004-2007 phones changed dramatically It’s been over 15 years since the original iPhone came out and phones still look exactly the same. That’s how iconic it is.
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.
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.
@@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).
You can imagine every mobile phone company boardmeeting the day after this presentation. The silence. Steves speech about the lower half and all the buttons etc while showing various competitors phones felt like an execution. Every phone felt outdated after this presentation. You knew this was the future.
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.
This invention is one of the defining moments in human history, the first time we had that level of technology in our pockets, so I’m not gonna complain if they wanna make their money off of it, they’ll never make another invention with the same impact so they’re gonna milk the fuck out for as long as they can
@@jordanwardle11 just because something is currently under research doesn't mean it isn't revolutionary. It's being used heavily by governments for encryption since quantum encryption will be the only way to keep stuff safe within 20 years. The advancements in AI and distributed computing are massive. We can now do calculations that were intractable which has lead to numerous scientific advancements. An example would be pharmaceuticals. Our knowledge of chemical binding inside the body has increased exponentially over the past thirty years which has lead to numerous drugs being produced and lots of diseases being cured which is much more profound than a phone which just combined multiple technologies into one product
After 10 Years Of Being A Popular Video Yet Not Everybody Has Seen It RU-vid Is Like Well This Is A Great Video So Let Recommend It To Everybody Who Is Interested In Apple Products
@@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"
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.
I was in 7th grade in 2007 & remember my friends bringing the 1st generation iPhones to school.. Watching this on my iPhone in 2024, the iPhone changed the world.
Watching this now is like watching so many of todays problems being born Social media The internet in every facet of our life Surveillance state Dopamine addiction etc.
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.
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.
It's impossible to have innovative (earth-moving) changes every year. That's a completely unrealistic expectation. Consumers would have to re-learn their devices with each release. People need to stop thinking that "innovation" equals "big, radical changes". People are just bored of perfection and want change for change's sake.
@@coolfactormac thank you for being the first person in this comment section I've seen who's saying this. Most consumers would like to use a polished product with few bugs, not experimental stuff just for experiments sake, despite what they might feel they want.
Earla Weese Ok what the hell. You should shut up we don’t care about you being a white western rich woman you brat, we just made a joke and you just r/woooosh so much.
Keep thinking how much he would definitely hate the ipad pencil and that, for some reason makes me not bother to buy it, also think its cause of the scene from Fassbenders movie, where he tells John Sculley why the Newton never worked.
@@Hascienda27 There is literally no reason why he would hate the iPad pencil. On such a large surface, it facilitates actions such as regular notetaking by hand and precision drawing. A stylus intended for phones will not have as much use, because the small screen limits your range of motion and in turn the comfort and precision.
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?
Na na bro would have thrown it on a pool and saw some bubbles coming out and gone and said "make it smaller mah chinger" fr fr😂😂😂 Also the UI design would be different
This. At the time, touchscreen devices were not truly touchscreen, and _required_ styluses to operate. The Apple Pencil is not necessary to use a device; it just aids tasks such as drawing on a mobile screen.
sasuke65743 it does change the fact. Touch screens have progressed so fucking much that you can literally make art on them with as much or even more detail than a canvas. Hence the need for a stylus. Are you stuck in 2000? Times change my friend
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.
Remember when this came out, and so many people thought it would be a flash in the pan? Then the next gen came out and people said that Apps and all that wouldn't survive? I don't care if you're an Apple or Android person, the first 3 iPhones quite literally changed everything, positively and negatively. Of course, now it's all just a "who copied who?" and "who did it better?" competition with every phone.
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.
I still come back to this occasionally just to let it sink in. It's not often that a singular event can change the world so deeply, so radically, and so suddenly.
