The iPhone, a groundbreaking invention that revolutionized the world and became the most profitable product in history, is now within reach of most people as they read this. However, it's important to note that before Steve Jobs introduced us to this singular device, a mobile phone was merely a means to make calls on the go. How did the iPhone transform our world and elevate Apple to become the most valuable company ever? Veteran technology journalist Brian Merchant delves into the intricate details, offering an exclusive account based on his extensive interviews with the engineers, inventors, and developers who played pivotal roles in the iPhone's creation. This comprehensive deep dive takes readers on a journey from the heart of Apple's headquarters, 1 Infinite Loop, to nineteenth-century France, World War II America, the driest place on Earth, and even the notorious suicide factories in Shenzhen. It provides a firsthand glimpse into the cutting-edge technology that powers our modern world, including touch screens, motion trackers, and artificial intelligence. The One Device serves as a testament to design and engineering brilliance, an anthropology of the modern age, and an unprecedented window into one of the most secretive companies in history. This is the untold story, spanning ten years in the making, of the device that changed everything.
