Ken Kocienda He was one of the creators of the iPhone software, and was known worldwide as an Apple legend at the time. And it turns out that he recently wanted to talk, via Twitter, about smartphone design.
When asked: "Was a smartphone like the iPhone something that was unavoidable?" Ken Kocienda responded saying no, adding that "it would not be possible" and that it was "an act of genius". That is, he thinks his invention was a specific event that changed the fate.
But he wanted to get deeper into the topic, and today we'll talk about this very interesting subject.

This is how Ken Kocienda came to life when the first iPhone was created
Ken Kocienda is actively involved in software engineering development for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. He is one of the suspects about Apple's current performance of Apple products, and this weekend he responded to a titter asking if the iPhone's creation was insecure.
The iPhone was a masterpiece. It would not be possible. It was a by-product of the vision and the accumulation of many small selections by a group of people working together at a particular time and place. https://t.co/vRxQrBL91F

He believes the iPhone was a masterpiece, that it was not something that could be avoided in some way. In his words, it was a the product of a single vision and the collection of many small choices made by a group of people who worked together at a particular place and time.
The fact is that it should be noted that Ken Kocienda's conceptualization offers very little perspective on the issue. But it is a complicated and difficult question that can lead us into a debate of hours and hours.
Smartphone: opportunity or future?
We live in a world full of technology companies that make smartphones. A world where there is no big difference between an Apple iPhone and an Android smartphone. So it's pretty easy to assume – or rather, think – that if a company with a damaged apple line didn't invent the iPhone, there could be another brand.
There is nothing beyond reality. It is important to remember that Apple & # 39; s Apple has completely changed the concept of a mobile phone, and without it today there would not be so many manufacturers focused on providing a better version of their smartphones.
Yes, of course, over the years it became clear that another company hit the right key and invented the first smartphone in this deceptive parallel to what we were doing. But… Would it have the same importance, popularity and influence as the iPhone?Did you target Hardware technology in the same area?
Let me emphasize, this is a very interesting debate.
Ken Kocienda wanted to enter this issue by sharing a very compelling analogy:
Ultimately, people will understand gravity, because it's always good for everyone to see. The creative work is no different. Not one second, and then the next one – or maybe never again. Who knows?

"Eventually, people will understand gravity, because people are always seeing it. Creation does not work like that. Not one moment, but then it does the next – or maybe it never comes together. Who knows?
At the time referred to by Ken Kocienda, both RIM (BlackBerry) and Nokia dominated the smartphone market. No one would have thought of creating a touchscreen smartphone because it was something that had never been there. It may be that, in this same world, perhaps Nokia was able to build the first smartphone. But they may have done so ten years later. If it were, we might never have seen the birth of Windows Phone, iOS and Android. Things will be very different … Or maybe our end is already marked. What do you think? Do you think the iPhone was inevitable? Would things have changed if another company had invented the first smartphone?
