Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes
everything,” Steve Jobs said a decade ago. “Today, Apple is going to
reinvent the phone.” Standing onstage at the 2007 MacWorld Expo, in San
Francisco, arrayed in his usual vestments—bluejeans, black turtleneck,
gray New Balances—Jobs was proclaiming a modern gospel. Provided you had
five hundred bucks lying around, you could proclaim it, too. By 2008,
the company formerly known as Apple Computer, now just as Apple, had
attracted millions of new adherents. At the Worldwide Developers
Conference that June, Jobs introduced the iPhone 3G. The 3GS followed,
in 2009, and soon the good news was coming more than once a year—iPad,
iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s. Jobs didn’t live to see the iPhone 5, or
the 6, or the 7, but they were announced in the Jobsian style, with the
same careful choreography, the same boomer-techie soundtrack, and the
same increasingly inevitable sense that whatever Apple was selling would
soon be walking among us, whether we wanted it to or not.
