    I predict the iPhone will sooner that later have stereoscopic lenses to help drive the VisionOS devices that are coming.  It might not be the 15 but by the time the 16 rolls out I'd wager it will.  Most likely this will be limited to the high end iPhones.
    and to capture Spatial Videos to be viewed on Vision devices :)
    Yes, that's what I wrote.

    I still have my 2007 original iPhone. Won’t trade it or sell it.

    I have almost every model from day one, in a cupboard, and they all work.

    Time for some pics!



    My box is still shrink-wrapped from 14 years ago. The iPhone came with a nice dock as well!
    Most importantly, the phone still works!
    Still a beautiful and elegant device.  It doesn’t look dated, as any other phone from that era certainly does.

    A year into the iPhone sales, there were still articles about how it would fail.  For a long time.  

    My favorite was the animation of the dogs(?) and one was saying “I want iPhone 4” and the other one just kept saying how other phones had better this, and better that and the response was “I don’t care.  I want iPhone 4.”

    The iPhone was always the best overall experience.  Since day one. 

    The Verge spent the first three-five years after the iPhone introduction saying that the iPhone wouldn’t last and someone Microsoft, Blackberry, Motorola would catch up real soon now, also the meme Apple is troubled is always right around the corner with them.

    Save Jobs is one of the most influential persons in history. 

    I don’t know if I would say that, but due to his influence with the introduction of OS X I was able to transition from my Commodore Amiga 4000 to a dual G4 Mac tower computer and later on bought an iPod, and a little later on when Apple had that 2 to 1 to stock split, I joined Share Builder and bought as many shares of Apple Computer as I could afford at that time and kept adding to it, I even bought shares in Pixar and later on got to be a Disney shareholder for a time. Aqua, Liquid and Skeuomorphism is fine with me…..

    We shouldn't forget the device that Jobs had to present just 1.5 years earlier. The "Motorola ROKR" with iTunes and "100 songs in your pocket".
    Motorola (and Nokia) had far more people and decades of experience in creating phones. They had vertical integration from chip level and still delivered this.
    Just shows how important people are - even today.

    If I recall, it was the CEO of Nokia, that said that he wasn't worry about the iPhone, after it was introduced. He said to the affect .... what do a computer company know about the telecom industry?

    To this, Steve Jobs replied ...... it is easier for a computer company to put a phone into a computer, than it is for a telecom company to put a computer into a phone.
