## What Jamie wrote

I [waited in line for that very first iPhone](https://www.thingelstad.com/2007/07/14/iphone-day-via.html). It has been amazing to see this device revolutionize so much around us.

> What makes the iPhone and perhaps Apple special is that it seems to deliver things that nobody asks for but then everybody wants while eschewing overshooting a performance dimension that a few demand but most won’t use.

Honestly we may never see another product as disruptive as this in our lifetime.
