This day is depressing in retrospect as Steve was proud of his new invention. It was the new iPod and they believed it would be the only one of it's kind and rightfully so.

The 62% iPod marketshare should have easily translated to %70 iPhone marketshare.

The fact the U.S. and tech companies allowed android to create patent-infringing knockoffs just to make a quick buck for carriers who doubted iPhone is sad. Then came the commercials attacking Apple which created the rabid iKnockoff Knights who shit on everything Apple worked hard for THEM to enjoy!

You are so right. Schmit is a scumbag of the first order! What he did to Stevo was unconscionable!

I do think Apple may get its revenge, though. 'Privacy' or lack, thereof, may undo, to some extent, Google/Android!

Finger's crossed!

P.S. Lots of commas in this post, my apologies!

Cambridge Analytica was a scummy little outfit.

I am really quite surprised that the University of Cambridge was affiliated with them until the end, and let them use the university's name.

Maybe we need to stop being surprised that corruption is endemic throughout the economic system. 

I like the way you think...

Agreed...Hopefully, from this CharlieFoxtrot, companies like FB, Twitter, Amazon and Google and all third-party apps will have to disclose and pay us for our data!

I will always decline the opt-in, as you say, b/c they are 'scumbags!'

But I'm not holding my breadth.

I really think Apple is on the verge, thru the next iOS/MacOs releases, of making every Apple device 'anonymous' on the internet. I see a 'security' iLife-like suite of apps to effect this. Or, maybe, just have it in the OS. 

Love the article! Very well done!

I bought 2, Day-One! (Full price!) One for myself and on for my 17 year old daughter... 

...I asked her how she liked the iPhone and she said, 'Dad, my whole life is in this phone!' Admittedly, is more charming a comment in 2007 than it is today.  

I gave her my MacBook, and with her iPhone, I like to think they both got her thru Med School! 

(Fortunately, she has her mother's brains and is now an Anesthesiologist, MD!) 

I was in real estate and it was a game changer for me...the iPhone was the ultimate communication deviceI So much so, that I stopped carrying my original intel MacBook around with me.

Text was not that big back then...but the Visual voicemail, the access to email, contact management and access to PDF's was a game changer! I could answer 'contract,' 'counter offers,' and submission emails with, 'yep I have it, will get back to you, shortly!"

Arrive home, whenever I 'arrived' and handle the 'heavy lifting' on my 2006 original intel iMac at home.

No stress b/c the iPhone allowed me to send a quick response. I didn't have to rush home. Being stressed the whole time!

Anyway, good times!

Best.
