JAKARTA - Steve Jobs, the figure who made Apple so successful around the world. He brought change in the world of technology by presenting innovative smartphones, relying on speed as well as privacy.

Jobs' name stuck in the memory of everyone, including the journalists who at that time saw Jobs proved that the first iPhone made by him was very sturdy. Even if it accidentally falls into your hand.

A few months before the iPhone actually went on sale, and after Jobs launched the smartphone in January 2007. Jobs made a special visit to The Wall Street Journal headquarters, then located in the World Financial Center area of Manhattan, USA, to offer more than two a dozen editors and reporters tested the device.

At the same time, someone asked about the durability of the first generation iPhone. Then Jobs responded without a word, but threw the iPhone he was holding in the air into the center of the room, making a small sigh and then silence as it hit the carpeted floor.

The experience cited by CNET journalist Roger Cheng based on information from other technology journalists underscores that what Jobs did was to impress the audience.

This story was written by Cheng ahead of the 10th anniversary of Jobs' death, and people in industry and technology have started paying their respects by sharing stories and memories of tech figures like Jobs, a visionary who rocked many industries and changed the way people interact with our mobile devices.

Cheng did not share what was discussed in the meeting, as it was not recorded and Jobs insisted that everyone not only turn off and keep their recorders, but also keep their notebooks and pens. Everyone obeyed, eager to see the device.

Furthermore, the iPhone that Jobs threw away, of course, survived unharmed, possibly thanks to the carpeted floor that saved it. Then, Jobs staff distributed several other test units for journalists to try out the phone.

The result, especially if it wasn't Jobs with his iPhone, certainly made an impression on journalists, even now, the iPhone still makes a great impression on its customers. A device that has all the technology of today, continues to revolutionize the mobile industry, dragging the smartphone into the modern era and injecting the chic element that makes it desirable for everyone.

iPhone products often create phenomena each year and generate where fans queue up on launch day at Apple stores. Despite the pandemic, even down to the queues in front of certain Apple stores this year for the iPhone 13.

For many, the image of Jobs holding iPhone one after another on stage in front of thousands of people is an indelible memory. Moreover, how he has run Apple to what it is today. Thus compiled VOI from CNET, Monday, October 4th.
