《终极利器》（The One Device）把里面的人物和历史细节扒得非常详实。https://www.amazon.com/One-Device-Secret-History-iPhone/dp/0... 刚出来一年左右。你也可以试试我自己做的用户可编辑网站（https://theymadethat.com/things/k4z/iphone）……

……很长时间。苹果的一位设计师当时受了轻伤，就用上了它。团队其他人都非常喜欢，并用它为 Mac 构建了一套触摸界面，这远在他们开始考虑做手机之前。来源：Brian Merchant 所著的《终极利器：iPhone 绝密史》。还有 OXO 的削皮刀也是这样，最初是为了创办人患有关节炎的妻子设计的，随后整个公司就顺势发展起来了。
…long time. A designer at Apple had a temporary injury and used it. The rest of the team loved and used it to build a touch interface for the Mac, long before they even considered a phone.
