The One Device is a tour de force, with a fast-paced edge and heaps of analytical insight.” -Ashlee Vance, New York Times bestselling writer of Elon Musk

Odds are that as you read this, an iPhone is within reach. But before Steve Jobs introduced us to “the one device,” as he called it, a cell phone used to be merely what you used to make calls on the go.
How did the iPhone become our world and turn Apple into the most valuable company ever? Veteran technology journalist Brian Merchant reveals the inside story you will not hear from Cupertino-based on his exclusive interviews with the engineers, inventors, and developers who guided every stage of the iPhone’s creation.
This deep dive takes you from inside One Infinite Loop to 19th century France to WWII The us, from the driest place {on earth|on this planet} to a Kenyan pit of toxic e-waste, and even deep inside Shenzhen’s notorious “suicide factories.” It’s a firsthand look at how the state of the art tech that makes the world work-touch screens, motion trackers, and even AI-made their way into our pockets.
The One Device is a roadmap for design and engineering genius, an anthropology of the modern age, and an unprecedented view into probably the most secretive companies in history. This is the untold account, ten years in the making, of the device that changed everything.
