The secret history of the invention that changed everything and became the most profitable product in the world. How did the iPhone transform our world and turn Apple into the most valuable company ever? Experienced technology journalist Brian Merchant reveals the inside story you won't hear from Cupertino, based on exclusive interviews with the engineers, inventors, and developers who guided every stage of the iPhone's creation. This research examines the journey from 1 Infinite Loop to 19th century France, World War II America, the driest places on Earth to the toxic beaches of Kenya, and even deep into the notorious "suicide factories" in Shenzhen. It is a first glimpse into how the advanced technology that makes the world work - touchscreens, motion detectors, and even AI - found its way into our pockets. "One Device" is a blueprint for design and engineering ingenuity, an anthropology of the modern age, and an unprecedented look at one of the most secretive companies in history. This is the untold narrative, ten years in the making, of the device that changed everything.
