5 Anecdotes About the iPhone's Creation

It is the world's most popular phone, but here are some things you probably didn't know; 1. Having no experience in the domain of mobile phones, Apple first considered becoming a network operator. Even as the release date was approaching, the company struggled to find carriers and was often sold by just one in each country it was released. 2. During early conceptions, Apple teamed up with Motorola and integrated Itunes into a device called the 'Rokr'. 3. To maintain the utmost secrecy while embroiled in a legal battle with Korean rival Samsung, concept designs were released with a Sony logo. 4. The Iphone was supposed to follow the trend set by the likes of Blackberry and come with a physical keyboard, however Steve Jobs wanted something more versatile and malleable and rebuffed the conventional proposition of Vice-President Phil Schiller. 5. Yet, during a private demonstration in January 2007 of a prototype, the keyboard as well as the apps were riddled with bugs and glitches.
