'The One Device' Book Covering 'Secret History' of iPhone Available June 20

The One Device: The Secret History of the iPhone, by technology journalist Brian Merchant, reflects on how the iPhone transformed the world and turned Apple into the most valuable company ever.
An excerpt of the book, which is said to contain exclusive interviews with the engineers, inventors, and developers who guided every stage of the iPhone's creation, has been published on The Verge today:
If you worked at Apple in the mid-2000s, you might have noticed a strange phenomenon afoot: people were disappearing.The book can be pre-ordered for $18.50 on Amazon in hardcover format ahead of its release on June 20. It's also available to pre-order on the iBooks Store for $14.99 in digital format for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
It happened slowly at first. One day there’d be an empty chair where a star engineer used to sit. A key member of the team, gone. Nobody could tell you exactly where they went.
“I had been hearing rumblings about, well, it was unclear what was being built, but it was clear that a lot of the best engineers from the best teams had been slurped over to this mysterious team,” says Evan Doll, who was then a software engineer at Apple…

(View all)Hmm.. there is a misspelling in the title of the book. For Apple it's not THE iPhone it's just iPhone. Pretty poor to miss that when you write this book.
This is the dumbest thing I have read in a long long time...Haha yeah isn't it crazy? I sold my original to get the 3G, 3G to get 3GS and so on and so forth.
I still have all of the boxes though and even the original bag it came in.
I still remember the feeling I had when I got the phone on launch day. Gotta thank my mom though for giving 15 year old me her debit card hahah.
I felt so elite and cutting edge!

Apple can say whatever they want in their brand guide but no editor worth their salt will accept that as gospel for their style guide.
Samsung's "The History of Galaxy" outsells this ten to one, costs less than half the price and has just as many words.
Plus it comes with an additional 200 pages of unwanted advertising, and then bursts into flames.
These three alone were show stoppers for me - my Windows phone could do all the above.
And those things helped WinMo so much that it continued its domination of the mobile phone space.
That's different...iPhone is supposed to be referred to as iPhone never The iPhone. When it was released Apple employees went through training teaching them to call it iPhome....Same with them not liking devices pluralized..
But, this isn't retail sales. It's a book accounting the history of an item. That item is "the iPhone."
I absolutely get retail employees being told to refer to it as "iPhone" because you don't want anyone to think that "The iPhone" is the name of the device.
I do not think there is any confusion and this product has been around for 10 years.
Umm...what? If you were to write a book about a ball...lets say the round basketball. Would you say The Secret History of Basketball? No, because that would assume you are talking about the sport. You would say Secret History of THE basketball.
