• Steve Jobs faked full signal strength and swapped devices during the first iPhone demo due to fragile prototypes and bug-riddled software.

• Engineers got drunk during the presentation to calm their nerves.

• Despite the challenges, Jobs successfully completed the 90-minute demonstration without any noticeable issues.

    Buttons? Ew.

    I have consistently been Luddish about moves like this (removign physical keyboard, eliminating phone jack, even the tablet form factor in general) but I think I was mostly wrong, and monimizing hardware features in favor of software seems to improve user experience.

      I only disagree with the removal of 3.5mm and microSD ports, and removable batteries. Imo the ports are both 100% needed, and the battery would be nice though I understand waterproofing is important. I’m fine with screens and no physical keys, though I would like a camera cover switch for at least one of the two cameras if possible, like laptops are starting to have.
