Trung does a deep dive on the 2007 iPhone launch. He discusses Apple’s design process, the iconic iPhone Keynote, what was the first killer app?, why Jobs hated the App Store, the history of multi-touch, Gorilla Glass and much more.
(Side Note: Apple exec Phil Schiller denies the part of the story when Jobs threw him out of a meeting for recommending a physical keyboard for the iPhone but author Brian Merchant says he sticks by his reporting).
