不知还有多少人能记得题图的时刻，十年前的今天，Jobs不但让我们学到了一个新单词iPhone，而且让我们对手机有了重新定义。如今从沟通、购物、运动、旅游、休闲到做生意，iPhone改变了人类世界的许多面向，也几乎成为人生的必需品。然而，隐藏在这支轻薄短小的商品下的，其实是历史上那些科学、科技与商业突破的重要时刻，它们的格局遍布全球，时空横亘好几世纪，横跨主题广阔的不同学科，这些人类成就的堆栈，让苹果得以创造出人类史上最赚钱的商品。
从十九世纪的法国到二战时期的美国，从地球上最干燥之处、肯尼亚的科技废料坑，到深圳恶名昭彰的血汗工厂，iPhone的发明隐藏着来自古今中外的丰富故事。下面分享的这本书作者更深入苹果公司总部，独家访问参与iPhone研发的工程师、发明家与开发者，带来您从来不曾听闻的秘辛！
本书横跨工程学、天文学、摄影术到交通发展，藉iPhone串起人类古今中外的重要时刻，更是一部现代人类学的精华总和，谈人类科学、技术、历史、商业与文化。
我算不上果粉，但iPhone真是一款值得尊敬的作品，不仅仅是其设备本身，而是书中所描述的一切幕后，希望以后有更多的reinvent，redefine。
科技是美好的，此书献给iPhone十年。

"This is a stunning book-a comprehensive, fascinating, and compulsively engaging account of how the most revolutionary product of our age was invented. Brian Merchant sets off on a journey around the globe, from design studios in California to mines in South America to factories in China, to tell the human stories-the ruined marriages, the lost lives-behind this iconic device. You will never look at your iPhone the same way again."―
