The One Device by Brian Merchant

Book review: The One Device by Brian Merchant This is the history of the iPhone, and this tech reporter just a great job of getting behind the secrecy of Apple to outline the amazing story of how this device came to be. He goes into every aspect of the iPhone, what exactly is the phone made of, and I mean every element that is included in the phone. He travels the world to track down where the raw materials come from, Peru, Kentucky. He also travels to China to see where the phones are made. He then goes into the culture of Apple and the drive that it took to bring this altogether. But most interestingly he brings up the point that Apple really didn’t invent the technologies in the phone’ multitouch, Google Maps, GPS, the Corning glass. But it did put it altogether in a brilliant way that changed the world. One complaint is that there are a lot of typos in this book, not sure if it was rushed to market.
