This video was posted, to the day, 17 years after the iPhone was unveiled - January 9th, 2007.
Originally, I planned to have this out for Christmas but uh, then I got COVID, but hey- this works out pretty well. Hope you all enjoy; I know I really did.
I liked the video and presentation. As a side note apple didn't not invent multi touch the bought that technology. It was already invented in the late 1980s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touchen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-touch
Hi 91 Tech

To know that all of the engineers were drunk back stage just to get rid of the anxiety of knowing the iPhone that was on that stage was not at all fully functioning and Steve just pulling it off literally switching iPhones between the demo's when it wasn't working like nobody's business is something of a masterminds game.
Young people will never understand how terrible the internet and mobile products were. The iPhone was the first useable mobile phone for normal people. The only downside was the battery which got bigger over the years
Still trips me out to look back and see just how far we've come.
@@AnalyticalMenaceI know right sad Steve’s gone
Lmao, stfu and stop treating the younger generation with contempt. I was born in the early 90's too, so clearly no bias.
Don't forget the clunkiness of the pre-iPhone smartphones where you have to use the tiny stylus just to use them.
the early days of iPhone and Android was a time to be alive. Now these 2 platforms are virtually done evolving, we've almost reached the smartphone endgame. But seeing early iPhone is so nostalgic even as someone who didn't use it back then
The 20th anniversary is gonna be a multi-part documentary series at this rate. In the meantime, I’ve got something good to watch.
The reason Apple didn’t call the Apple TV iTV is because here in Britain we have a TV channel called iTV and they told Apple no you can’t do that.
Nice I didn’t know that (from Germany
How the hell are we only 3 years away from the iPhone being a 20-year-old invention? Damn two decades is tough.
So crazy to think that the iPhone X will turn 10 in 3 years...
07:24 not sure if related, but ITV was an already trademarked TV channel in the UK
it is. ITV told Apple that they couldn't call it the iTV.
I dont know why, but Vista and the iPhone being released on the same year feels so weird...
2007 feels like a true liminal space year. I also find it amazing that the gap between the latest iPhone 15 and the first iPhone is the same between the original 1984 Macintosh and the iPod (17 years).
Edit: I was 12 years old at the time, so its probably just sone strange case of nostalgia thats exclusive to Zillenials.
One product ballooned the phone industry, the other ballooned OEMS and computers in software development
“Muh heckin liminal space!”
The legacy of the first iPhone isn't just newer iPhone models but all smartphones. It was the first generation execution of a brilliant idea.
However you feel about Apple or Steve Jobs, you have to give the man respect as a salesman. There's just something about the way he presented his products. Listening to him still makes me want to buy an original iPhone today, even though it's long obsolete by current standards.
When the iPhone came out, it was subsidized $450 by the carrier for the 2 year contract. That means they were $950/$1050 on launch. It's amazing to watch Steve show off his products. It's something that is greatly missed in the newer keynotes. If he had lived, he'd still be out there giving keynotes.
When he says it runs OS X he means it uses Darwin. Even to this day macOS/iOS/iPadOS/tvOS/watchOS/etc all still use Darwin at their core.
about steve pranking the local starbucks:
"Ying Hang "Hannah" Zhang is still a barista at that Starbucks location and hasn't forgotten the fateful day Apple's visionary rang her up. "I feel very happy and lucky that I had a chance to actually talk to him," she said of the brief, seconds-long chat."
iPhone had the first real web browsing experience. Looked exactly like it did in laptops and desktops and that was revolutionary at the time. That really got my attention.
I usually watch these past Apple keynotes as they are, but it's great to see you watching and providing commentary. Hope you do this again with other events at some point.
I remember getting my first iPhone (the 4) and immediately saying “I’ve waited my whole life for this”
I watched this the day after it was announced and I was sold. I got it a month after release (it was my first cell phone I purchased myself and my first “smartphone”) loved that phone.
When Steve says OS X in an iPhone, I think it means something very different today than it did back then. It would be similar to Microsoft talking about something running NT. I don't think anyone expected a macos desktop, but it literally is the same core stack of Darwin and very similar if not identical frameworks for the system.
7:22 correct me if i'm wrong, but I think they couldn't go for the iTV name since there is already a british independent tv broadcast network called ITV, and probably this is the major decisive factor on the change of name to Apple TV
Fresh stuff! Cant wait to watch. I've know every single word by word of this presentation : >
The reason why they didn’t call Apple TV the iTV is because that was already used and a registered trademark by a different company, they did try to buy it off that specific company but the offer was rejected so Apple had to come up with a new name for it instead
That company being the British commercial broadcaster ITV.
It's funny that around 30 minutes into this video Steve makes the world's first call on an iPhone. Surely as historic as the first ever mobile phone call way back in the 1970s on a phone the size of a breeze block! 😀
This was so revolutionary looking back at this. It’s almost like taking somebody from the 1980s and showing them a PC set up from the early 2000s. Their mind would be absolutely blown.
What he described as wallpaper, was actually what we’d call “Lock Screen wallpaper.” You’re right, Home Screen wallpaper didn’t come until iOS 4.
I think somewhere around the iPad years, the term “cover sheet” tried to catch on…but it wasn’t meant to be…
But only officially on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd and 4th generations and iPad 1. It could be enabled when jailbreaking the iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd generation though.
I could watch these keynotes all day long they are very entertaining thanks for this super fantastic look back at of OG iPhone
I remember the original event, to relive it was fantastic!!
Thank you 🙏
This is a great video! I remember when that presentation went out and it felt like everybody was talking about the iPhone. I'd never seen a phone from the future in the present day. Every phone copies the iPhone and EVERY manufacturer copies these Steve Jobs style presentations. Truly iconic on all levels.
Just IMAGINE what iPhones would be like currently if Steve was still alive!! So iconic, I’ve been a super tech nerd for over 2 decades now & this was such an astronomical presentation at the time. We’ve come so far , hard to imagine what we’ll have in our hands another 10 years from now lol 🤯
ITV is a UK TV network.
iOS is a tailored version of OSX. So the services and features needed for mobile use were included, and the UI was tailored for touch on a small ARM device. It's based on OSX - Unix.
I always love your content man! ❤
The iTV (:P) demo probably was not faked. Because it was all local video not streaming. Streaming from your iTunes library. It’s easy to have a PowerMac behind the desk with an Ethernet cable and get that performance
I loved cover flow on my ipod touch and i honestly miss it to this day. In a way wanting to enjoy coverflow forced me to become more organised and have all things nicely named and that process made me a generally more organised person 😅
The demonstrations were the world's greatest magic tricks with what we know now behind the scenes.
What do we know behind the scenes?
What an amazing video man thank you
iPhone really set the stage and revolutionized the way we use our phones today. It all dates back to this event here it’s amazing looking back
One more thing, The iPhone Steve is holding is actually a plastic capacitive iPhone. The original iphone prototypes did not have glass. After this announcement Steve called up Corning and asked for medical grade glass strengthened to use on the iphone. It cost apple millions, but it paid off in the long run.
Didnt he delete a contact of someone who was a part of the team as a way of saying "your fired" during the contact showcase
yes, Tony Fadell.
@@RWL2012 I thought so. Thanks for confirming that
I’m 100% sure it’s not the first time he’d heard about the potential for an ‘Apple Phone’, but the guy at 11:24 is so like “huh, really?”, gets me every time!
Awesome vid. 2 things. Al Gore was part of Apple’s board if my memory serves me right and the real reason AT&t was chosen was because they were the only ones who offered cel & data working at the same time. Believe it or not that was not common back then. And AT&t had exclusive rights to that tech for several years after this keynote
Verizon also wanted to shove all their crap down Apples throat and they didn't want that on the iPhone
No. 1. It was Cingular chosen not AT&T. but once SCB bought out Bellsouth it became AT&T. 2. Verizon was originally approached. Verizon would not let Apple have full control over the phone the way they wanted.
I love this presentation…. I’ve watched it multiple times. Who knew what it would turn into.
46:20 Dang you cut my favorite part. Hearing him talking about seeing the Eiffel Tower and Colosseum…right on your phone. And the way he was saying it like a dad proud of his kid.
Man those mac vs pc ads were the days. I remember falling in love with apple after i got my ipod and were saving up money to afford the 2009 macbook which my dad didnt allow me to get for like 900bucks in germany back then.
When they made the 2nd generation of Apple TV they removed storing content on it and switched exclusively to streaming because syncing all your content to multiple devices was not something people wanted to do
Took me a week to get through this video but I definitely had fun watching!
What incredible irony it is for the majority of us to watch this video on an iPhone (or Android smartphone) all these years later. Things could've been very very different if the iPhone had faltered or never released.
It would have gotten to around where it is now sooner or later anyway. As an actual phone, iPhone didn’t do anything special. What it did was introduced a big (for the time) screen mobile device with capacitive multitouch. That’s what changed the market. But again, that would have happened eventually anyway. What Apple is good at is pushing the industry forward by taking risk and, quite frankly, releasing subpar products that people still buy. iPhone was a subpar smartphone, but it took the risk that kickstarted good on screen keyboards. All MacBooks from the 2016 era were subpar laptops, but they took the risk that normalised USB-C. AirPods were subpar and overpriced earbuds, and iPhone 7 had no good reason to not have a headphone jack. But they took the risk that kickstarted cordless earbuds.
ITV is a broadcaster in the UK so I'm guessing that why they couldn't call the Apple TV that
that is correct and it is well documented. Anyone with any knowledge of tech and Apple knows this.
I'm not an Apple person, but I think I would be if Steve had lived a bit longer. Dude was so good at selling
Do more of these!
45:39 the girl found out when people kept calling 😂
Annoyingly in the UK there's a surprising number of carriers that still *STILL* don't support Visual Voicemail.
56:24 AT&T was formerly known as SBC (Southwestern Bell Corp)/Cingular before SBC/Cingular acquired AT&T and it was rebranded as the new ATT as of 2006
It didn't become AT&T until SBC acquired BellSouth which owned 40% of Cingular.
Can’t wait for the iPhone 9 review!
7:28 ITV exists in the UK. It's a broadcasting company/network
All SIX Star Trek movies? I guess Steve was a 'TOS till I die' type fan.
9:10 I definitely know who the Canucks are; I'm happy for you and The Hockey Guy that they're good again. Maybe we'll see an Avs (my team) vs. Canucks playoff matchup! ;)
30:00 yes, merging calls still works as well as it did back then. I frequently make merged calls for work and have never had an issue!
This is awesome to watch over again. One of the most immortalized moments in history, and a moment that changed all our lives going forward. How different would the world be without iPhone?
Watching this on my iPhone 15 pro max
25:47 it was all real but stepping on real thin ice. There were an extremely high chance of crashing to desktop, freezing or respringing, but there was a tested order of task which were both impressive and feasible to complete, which are somewhat miraculously worked on stage.
Thats why he switching devices.
This video deserves a lot more views! ❤.
ITV is a broadcaster here in the uk
Ngl this phone is what got me into apple when i heard about it so thanks for this video (i heard someone review it in 2020 before then i didnt know much about apple)
7:26 that’s exactly why it wasn’t called itv that was already a channel in the uk
This is so nostalgic 😢
Apple TV wasnt called iTV because the second biggest uk tv channel is also called ITV
Wow! The music app was better on iOS 1 then it is now!
The nostalgia ♥️
AT&T might be a little weird, but I love using it! My dad bought the first iPhone with AT&T!
ITV is in fact a channel in the UK
I remember just graduating high school when this came out! Me and my friend went to AT&T to look at it cuz we couldn’t afford it 😂
I want too see ya remake this keynote ambit with your voice
“You can tell he’s excited…” that was funny.
He was like an excited little puppy.
45:30 Ying Hang "Hannah" Zhang was the Starbucks employee who picked up. Not much info available online but the name is known.
Yes, he meant OS X's foundation, and the same Darwin Unix-like Kernel.
And the CPU is a single core at just 412MHz with 128MB of RAM, so they had to optimise for that.
ITV is a TV Network in the UK :)
I had to unlock the phone to get it to use for T-Mobile back then it was stupid the iPhone was locked to ATT I’m glad they changed that.
This goes to show how good of a communicator Steve Job was back then. Apple Keynotes have never been the same since Tim took over. Also I remember when this came out. I brought the first one and yeah, back then it was revolutionary. Just a shame it was only 2G!
RIP LEGEND 🙏

14:42 it is SOOOO hilarious looking back at this with now the new Clicks Technology accessory, adding back this feature
17:44 also this is funny how Apple merged the OS in all their devices (except apple TV)
26:19 the most consistent feature on current iphones
the most surprising thing is that i never knew they went wirreless earbuds at that time :0
Wireless earbuds with Bluetooth were first sold in 2001 or 2, I think SBC encoded stereo bluetooth headsets existed since 2006
13:55 Too bad with the removal of actually good UI in iOS 7 and introducing all the undiscoverable stupid gestures, they threw all this away.
An iPhone 4, my elderly grandparents figured out in 4 minutes.
A current iPhone 15 is a nightmare for my parents and even myself to use a lot of the time.
you are a liar.
In 3 years from now the iPhone will be 20 years old.
It’s crazy to watch how the literal inventor of modern touch interfaces uses them like a boomer
Well he was a boomer since he was born in the 1950s.
You wrong. I was in the Motorola team that actually launched the first Apple phone. E398 iTunes cause Apple and jobs couldn't figure out how to make iTunes work in a cellphone. We did all the work. Gave jobs what he wanted and he screwed us and Americans and went to China for the first touch iPhone one. They never did crap. Motorola WE did and Chinese manufacturers. Jobs is a dope
The way the pricing was introduced is just crazy
The jokes that dude made on stage lol they need to bring that back
ITV is indeed an independent TV network in the UK.
ITV is actually a TV channel in the UK 🇬🇧🤣
I watch this keynote at least twice a year. Mainly the where the iPhone section starts lol
'ITV' literally is a channel over here in the UK and is one of the oldest networks after the BBC. Apple probably didn't want to run into the confusion.
I think ITV actually told Apple that they couldn't call it the iTV.
It is technically runs OS X. iPhoneOS is based of the foundation of OS X
The Apple Pencil might go against the idea that nobody _wants_ a stylus but it doesn't go against the main point Steve was making which is that they shouldn't be a necessity; smartphones around that time all required a stylus because the screen size was so small that you needed it to use the UI, it wasn't until after the iPhone launched that Windows Mobile started prioritising larger UI elements and then around 2008 Android entered the competition. UI wise the iPhone was the best phone you could get at the time and it was a fair while before the competition started to really up their game (HTC's Sense UI and Windows Phone 7's Live Tiles spring to mind).
This channel should be named "IPhone Documentaries."
The Wii music was wonderful
iTV is a tv channel in the UK so they never would have got the trademark for it back then.
3GS reveal next im down ❤
iPods were a huge ramp for iPhone's success, including sync ecosystem with iTunes and online music store. Even if such phone technically was introduced by, say, Google or MS, it wouldn't have such a strong foundation for success.
iTV is a UK TV network, that is why there was no Apple iTV
6:10 Tim Cook isn’t as petty as Steve J. Haha😅
1:02:32 hey thats me :)
ITV is a commercial channel here in the UK and IIRC blocked Apple using that name for their product
Album art was more important back then…because you were still solely, almost, buying songs and items. So, you still needed that connection to buying physical albums.
Are you saying album art isn’t important because we don’t buy physical albums anymore? I don’t understand what one has to do with other. Or why you would need a connection to buying them.
@@DavidKen878 when you move from one type of media to another…. There’s usually a remnant of the former somewhere, because it’s familiar, and helps the transition.
@@jayvansickle7607 I don't understand what that means.
@@DavidKen878 strictly my opinion…but, when you move from one version of a thing to another…sometimes there’s a small part of the previous thing that gets pulled over.
Which is why the TH-cam app used to look like a tv. And, why …. If you are telling someone to roll down their window, you make circular motions with your hand. And why the first kindle was wedge shape, to mimic a paperback book. And why some of the first note apps looked like a spiral notebook. Things like that.
@@jayvansickle7607 Everything you listed are simply clever identifiers. TH-cam's logo is a screen, so Apple chose the TV emoji as the app's icon. You watch a TV just like you watch TH-cam. There's no transition that people need help with. It's not that deep.
I was lucky enough to have held the iPhone back then and have checked it out back then, it really was a revolution because it included everything in one device and made it actually EASY to use and figure out by just using it and friggin TH-cam was on it as an old TV app icon, it really started the smartphone as we know it today 🥰 and I’m also getting a little sentimental about it I wonder what Apple would be today if Steve would still be alive 🥹
Nope. It was Handspring and Palm OS.
Jobs/Apple copied them. Imitation is the sincerest form of...
For sure the original iPhone had superior animation and web surfing capabilities but they were literally ten years late to the game.
Was using the Treo 650 for several years prior to the first iPhone dropping.
When the iPhone did drop, it actually had fewer features than the Palm units i.e. stylus, expandable storage, etc.
Fortunately, Samsung picked up the slack.
iPhone wasn't a revolution, but rather an improvement and rebranding of an existing technology, a continuation of Job's ability to remake and remold consumer electronics into something that was easier to understand, intuitive to use, and a pleasure to hold and handle.
Too bad Mr. Cook doesn't understand this.
