Did Apple Really Invent the iPhone?

Описание: did Apple Really Invent the iPhone?

In 2007 Steve Jobs famously unveiled the iPhone to the world.

We all know what happened next, but what you might not know is that iPhone or at least the idea of it, was actually created by Marc Porat.....18 years earlier in 1989.

Marc Porat and his team at General Magic envisioned a device that would change the world—a compact touchscreen computer that could fit in your pocket, send messages, make calls, and play games. It was the smartphone, nearly 20 years before Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone. This video explores the incredible story of General Magic, a Silicon Valley startup that was ahead of its time.

Although its ambitious product, the Magic Link, ultimately failed due to technological limitations and competition, General Magic's legacy endures through its visionary team members.
