It is true that iPhone not only changed the world of mobile telephony, but it was much more the threshold for the mobility boom. Greg Christie there was, therefore, chief engineer of the Apple team who designed the iPhones, back to 2005. Recently, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, revealed some interesting details about the device's early history.
Christie, who owns the patent for the "slide to unlock" feature, describes the original iPhone group as "shockingly small in number".
So, as Christie and the team were working on ideas about the style and look of the new device, the impatient Steve Jobs gave them 2 weeks to find the answer, otherwise you would assign the project to another group. The procedure αυτή οδήγησε στο αρχικό concept του iPhοne, το οποίο ήταν μια σύνθεση ενός touch screen κινητού και iPod, χωρίς το κλασικό keyboard.
Αν και κάποια points της ιστορίας αυτής είχαν ήδη γίνει γνωστά από ένα άρθρο των New York Times, τον Οκτώβριο του 2013, το νέο άρθρο της WSJ αποκαλύπτει κάποιες ακόμα κρυφές πτυχές της διαδικασίας και ενδιαφέρουσες λεπτομέρειες.
Among the highlights is also included Jobs's determination to keep the development of the device sealing the secret. So he put his employees to encrypt the first photos of iPhonne, while he was obsessed with the details. A typical example of the persistence of this was the fact that it intervened and changed the iPhone's view of the iPhone just before it was released. But it is the details that finally shape the story.
