I remember that night perfectly, it was pouring rain. I didn’t mind not bringing an umbrella, I know very well why I forgot: it was the day I went to get my first iPhone. The original iPhone. It was 2007, and it was so long ago and so little time ago that I remember it – as if the distance lengthens when you stop to think about everything that has changed in the world since then. And U.S.
In my pocket, my last cell phone before the iPhone era – a Sony Ericsson – with which I wrote my last message on a phone with physical buttons probably my whole life. Click, click, click, click. “I’ll go get it now, I’ll call you when I get back.”. Click, click. The iPhone was not yet sold in USA and I wondered if those people in the car were also nervous than me before the new device. Today I realize that probably very few people knew that Apple had released a new phone around that time.
When I got back on the train home, soaked – I didn’t care – I had the iPhone in my hand. My SIM card already installed, before jailbreak of the time. I felt overwhelmed. I had the feeling that with this little three and a half inch window, I was looking at something so different that it made me dizzy. That night, I slept little, being able to watch a video on this “huge” screen while lying in bed. It almost seemed like science fiction to me.. In fact, everything about the iPhone seemed that way to me.
The launch of a new device in the works for more than 15 years
We told you this in Applesfera more than 15 years ago: in 2009, Apple patented an extended reality device designed by Steve Jobs, very close in form to the Apple Vision Pro.
Apple was already working on the device that is now the Apple Vision Pro when the iPhone launched in 2007.
It’s amazing to me to think that around this time, at the same time I was marveling at the first iPhone, Apple was launching a secret project comparable to the original Project Purple. It was about a study on the feasibility of an extended reality project, Very ambitious. So much so that I wouldn’t even use the screens with multi-touch gestures that were one of the flagship components of this miracle called iPhone. A few years after the iPhone came out, I wrote an article about how the iPhone was going to take us into expanded reality, because everything seemed to be speeding up with what they were learning with the phone.
If you have to look at reality differently, you have to wear glasses. At least it was the perfect product for the aspirations of one Steve Jobs, who was one of the great minds behind the project. It is not in vain, at Applesfera we have already informed you of an astonishing 2008 patent signed by the genius. The design we saw in these designs 16 years ago is almost Exactly the one that will go on sale this Friday.
