Apple, which brought a new breath to the smart phone world by introducing the first iPhone model in 2007, has managed to reach hundreds of millions by releasing a new model every year. Today, a very interesting story was shared about Apple’s first iPhone model. The story was narrated by Tony Fadell, former Senior Vice President of Apple’s iPod division, known as the “father of the iPod.”
Speaking to journalist Joanna Stern, Fadell revealed that Apple co-founder and CEO of the time Steve Jobs plans to make the first iPhone ‘without a SIM card’. According to Fadell, Jobs did not want to use GSM cellular data technology for communication, but instead aimed to connect iPhones to the world with CDMA technology.
Steve Jobs would connect the iPhone to the world in a different way:
CDMA technology, which is especially used for high-speed internet connection today, landline phones, even mobile phones. He could make you take it with you. So what happened that Jobs gave up on CDMA technology? It was Fadell himself who turned Jobs away from this idea.
Fadell used market data to persuade Jobs to move away from CDMA technology, showing that the technology is not yet widely used. Finally, Jobs was convinced by what Fadell showed and gave up on the idea. However, this does not mean that no iPhone has been released that does not have CDMA support. Apple had also released the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4 for the Verizon network in 2011.
On the other hand, Apple seems to try to adapt this technology again if we look at the claims made recently. Many experts in the industry speculate that Apple will not have a SIM card in the iPhone 15 series. Of course, we will see the accuracy of these predictions only when the time comes.
