During the first live iPhone presentation, Steve Jobs had to frequently switch phones behind his desk. Otherwise, it would run out of RAM and crash.
100 Mind-Blowing Presentation Facts
Steve Jobs used sleight of hand at the first iPhone presentation. The first iPhone presentation happened six months before the iPhone was set to hit the market. At that time, the phone was too buggy to use, so Steve Jobs often had to switch phones behind his desk. Otherwise, it would run out of RAM and crash.
Every advertisement for iPhones has 9:41 set as the time. This is because, in 2007, Steve Jobs first announced the iPhone at that time. The 41-minute presentation leading up to the reveal of the first iPhone was planned perfectly. And the first photo of the iPhone showed the time 9:41, at exactly 9:41 am.
