Jobs smiled slightly, showing confidence, "Don't worry, I will show you a video first!" Then, he clicked on a video on the macBook.

At this time, everyone's eyes all noticed the large LCD screen in the conference room.

In the video, an employee pressed the power button of the iPhone, the phone screen turned on in vain, but the screen showed that it needed to be unlocked, and everyone was stunned. At this time, the tester drew a simple quadrilateral pattern on the screen with his finger, unlocked the screen, and then a brand new mobile phone interface appeared. The video paused here for five or six seconds, so that everyone can see clearly what is in the interface. Subsequently, the finger of the staff member who was performing the presentation swiped to the left on the screen, and the interface turned up unexpectedly, and new interfaces appeared one after another.

"Oh, it's so cool!!!" Many people in the conference room suddenly cried out in surprise.

It is not surprising to use touch technology to unlock. After all, single-touch technology has already been used in many fields. The most familiar one is bank aTm machine, which can be operated through the touch screen, but it is simply too much to use the finger to slide to unlock like this. Cool, it's definitely not as simple as single touch! And looking at this mobile phone interface, it is completely different from the most popular Symbian system nowadays. The interface of the Symbian system is in the dust. At present, there is only one main interface. You need to click on an option to enter the next interface. However, the iPhone's mobile phone system has multiple interfaces, and you can see it by swiping left and right.

At this time, in the video, the employee started to make a wifi connection.

Everyone was shocked to see that the mobile phone can connect to wifi! When did mobile phones become so awesome?

When it came to the password, a virtual keyboard popped up suddenly at the bottom of the screen. With one-handed operation, employees can enter the password in three or five strokes, even faster than traditional keyboard input.

"The design is great. I was still wondering how this phone has no keyboard. It turned out to have a virtual keyboard. It's perfect!!!"

"Yes, I want to buy one for fun now!"

"..."

At this moment, everyone understands that the biggest difference between this kind of mobile phone and the traditional mobile phone is that it is completely operated by touch, and it is a new technology that is different from single-touch technology! ! !

Jobs looked at the crowd and said loudly: "

One of the key technologies used in iPhone smartphones is the multi-touch multi-touch technology, which started in 1982 by the University of Toronto invented a multi-touch screen that senses the pressure of the index finger. In the same year, Bell Labs published the first academic literature on touch technology. But so far, only the multi-touch technology jointly developed by Emeisen and Williams Electronics is the most mature!

In fact, as early as seven years ago, the iPhone smart phone project began, that is, from then on, Williams Electronics and Immison began the research and development of multi-touch technology.

The iPhone smart phone project was proposed by Mr. Williams. At that time, he had just acquired Apple, and then decided to drastically transform Apple. Among them, the iPhone smart phone project was proposed during this period. Since then, the iPhone smart phone project has been listed as Apple's most important and mysterious research project.

Under the leadership of Mr. Williams, more than a dozen companies including Williams Electronics, Emerson, aRm, Qualcomm, etc. have successively participated in the project. Among them, Apple is mainly responsible for the research and development of the mobile phone operating system, and has now developed the ios1.0 operating system, which is exactly what you just saw in the video.

"

After Jobs finished speaking, everyone was shocked. The iPhone smart phone project was proposed by Henry, and everyone is not surprised. The genius is always so amazing, and everyone is used to it. It's just that they never expected that the project would be secretly researched and developed, and it took 7 years! In seven years, how many projects in the world are worth letting Henry deploy for seven years! ! !

Is the iPhone smart phone going to change the world?

Everyone couldn't help taking a deep breath.

At this time, Jobs began to speak again, and showed everyone the powerful functions of the iPhone, including contacts, messages, mail, iTunes, iBooks, etc. iTunes is already familiar to everyone, and it is the place to download songs. As for iBooks, you can tell at a glance that it is a place to read, but the books in it need to be purchased.

When it was time for the demonstration, the people present were surprised!

This turned out to be a video call, although the pixels are not high, but it is still very clear. As long as you have registered an apple-ID account, you can directly use email, name or even mobile phone number to make video calls with each other. Of course, the premise is that the other party also has Apple's products, as well as apple-ID and.

Jobs said at this time: "

When Apple releases iPhone smartphones, it will also release new versions of imac and macBook products. These three products will have iBooks and other functions. That is to say, as long as Apple users use imac and macBook to communicate with their mobile phones! ! !

The principle is actually voip. As for what voip is, everyone must know that it is to digitize the analog signal (Voice) and transmit it in real time on the IP Internet network in the form of data packet (Data-Packet). As long as you can connect to the Internet, it should be connected to wifi to be precise, then the use of video calls is free, in addition, you can also use 3g, 4g network traffic to make video calls, of course, this requires a charge! However, all in all, it can still save a lot of phone bills for Apple users, and it is so fashionable and fun, it will definitely be liked by the public!

"

Jobston paused and said: “It’s not hard to imagine that once the iPhone is on the market, it will be popular! Then a new era will begin. And this era is what I called the mobile Internet era! With the development of mobile phones With increasing popularity, I believe that the mobile Internet will be the world in the future, and the PC terminal will become weaker and weaker. Therefore, whoever can occupy the mobile Internet field will be able to occupy the largest market share in the future!

The purpose of Mr. Williams gathering everyone here today is actually to let all of your companies enter the mobile Internet, and the iPhone smart phone is the breakthrough! Next, I will give you a grand introduction to the biggest highlight of the iPhone-the aPP-store Apple Store! "

At this time, on the LCD screen of the conference room, the staff clicked on a piece of software with an "a" symbol. The interface of this software is very simple. There are five buttons at the top, which read "Selected" and "Ranked". "List", "Category", "Purchased Items", "Updates", below are some third-party software, including icq, Amazon, eBay, Facebook, wps, YouTube, etc. The left side of each software is the software logo, and the upper right The corner is the description of the software name, and there is a small symbol in the lower right corner that writes the software download cost. After clicking, you can download and install the software.

"Most of the software in aPP-store cannot be downloaded. It is just to make this interface to let everyone feel. I think you already know what aPP-store does through this interface. That's right, aPP-store is Apple The company provides a platform for third-party software vendors, users pay for downloading in, and Apple can get 30% of the share."

After seeing the app-store coming out, everyone instantly realized that this thing should become Apple's cash cow! Not only that, with app-store, Apple will surely be favored by third-party software vendors, willing to develop various software on the Apple platform! ! !

The most rare thing in software development now is marketing. Just imagine, even if the software is produced, how can it be sold? ? Is it to be advertised and to be sold on other websites? And this will inevitably lead to high marketing costs. It is better for rich software developers to say, what about those who have no money?

If you develop software on the Apple platform, you can sell it on the app-store for free. App-store has three platforms: imac, macBook, and iPhone, which is equivalent to tens of millions of users. Software developers cut the marketing cost ~lightnovelpub.net~ and all the funds can be used to develop software. As the quality of the software goes up, the probability of fire is naturally greater. Once it fires, the software developer will get rich!

In addition, whether an operating system is good or not, whether it is popular or not, the quantity and quality of third-party software are very critical. Undoubtedly, app-store can solve these problems very well, it can be called an artifact!

Just when everyone was shocked, Henry spoke: "Jobs will send each of you a copy of the API application programming interface information about the iPhone in a moment. After you go back, you will transplant the software or website of your respective company to the iPhone. End. On April 1, 2003, Apple will hold a product launch conference, and will also announce the API application programming interface. Therefore, you have three or four months ahead of other companies to develop. Be sure to hurry up, and as soon as possible Complete the software development on the mobile terminal."

"Yes!!!" Everyone nodded and replied in unison.

Henry nodded, and then stood up from his chair and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first, and you continue to have the meeting!" He said, and walked straight out the door.

Out of the building, wisps of bright sunlight shone on Henry's face, warm. At this moment, a large group of reporters squatted outside the building. Wouldn't it be shocking that so many Internet giants came to the meeting without him? Together, the Internet companies they represent can almost monopolize the entire Internet...
