    Very interesting read!
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024*

Let me start by saying I'm not now and never will be an iPhone fan. Give me an Android phone any and every day. Having said that, on the recommendation of my brother I decided to read this book and boy am I glad I did. It tells the truly amazing story of how Apple used the iPhone to transform how we perceive and interface with our world. It also dispels the myth created by Steve Jobs that Apple was the inventor of all the technology that it took to create this world changing smartphone we know as the iPhone. It shows that like most great inventions it was actually the work of thousands of individuals over countless years that brought the iPhone to life. While Apple brought all this technology together and improved most so of it they did not create it. That said I would say this would be a must read for anyone who wants to understand the impact that the iPhone and other smartphones have had on us and our world.

    The book gets way to deep Into the weeds but  you will know how your iPhone was created.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017*

I was really looking forward to reading The One Device(on that later) My takeaways are a person never realized how many people had something to do with the making of the iPhone. We give  the credit to Steve Jobs and he deserves it with his vision,  leadership and most of all his blessings-the iconic iPhone would have never been build. And yet, he fought and had to be persuaded to build a phone, open the App Store, have iTunes in windows and that was not easy as he was the boss, a jerk and a force of nature. The scope of hands that contributed to the iPhone is incredible from the miners in Chille getting the raw material for the lithium batteries, to the hands of brilliant engineers and designers at Apple, to all the past inventions notably multitouch,to WiFi, to chips and so on without them the iPhones will have not been possible.Is an incredible read but my disappointment was the writer Merchant writing style-it wasn't easy to read , he goes way to deep into the weeds(way too much details ) it almost feels like a textbook. I like nonfiction books to feel like fiction, a story with plots, with transition and connecting points and even a little cliff hangers. At the end I rushed it to finish the book. That's not to say I didn't like it and I learned a lot about the iPhone. One last note I am Die-Hard Apple fan but Apple has become the greedy and sometimes heartless corporation(we all detest) with profits margin for iPhone at 40-70% and suicide factory in China and Apple workers in stores barely making above minimum wages is something I hope changes. On looking forward to reading it, the textbook style disappointed me but nevertheless I recommend it especially if you love the iPhone.

    Incredibly holistic view of the development and impact of the iPhone
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020*

I read this book after reading Losing The Signal about the rise and fall of the BlackBerry.  This book goes into as much detail as possible on the true inspiration, development and unparalleled success of the iconic product of this century.  But the author goes well beyond the classic "insider" story within the walls of Steve Jobs's Apple to explore the source materials (and mining) required to make the iPhone in Latin America, to inside a factory that hand assembles them at a breakneck pace in China, to the e-waste mountains where old phones are "recycled" in Africa.  A stunning achievement of modern history and a thought-provoking book that makes you put down your iPhone to consider the profound implications - good and bad - the one device has on life in the early 21at century.  Should be required reading!
