As some who’s a User Experience Designer (and User Researcher), this experience of using the iOS testing software on an iPhone 2 is pretty awesome to see. It’s fascinating to play around a more rudimentary, under construction UI used to test out interaction concepts on the phone but then have to provide the space for programmers inputting commands with a desktop/keyboard, which is interesting to see on the screen. I think that’s one of the better solutions that Apple software and hardware teams had to have come up with if they were separated (which seems kinda ludicrous honestly).
@@flp322 Yeah, some things never change and I think that whole division of teams is leftover from past development project plans and they really didn't know too much about how to integrate both experiences into one like we do now.

Think about it though, if anything got leaked they would have a perfect paper trail to follow. To the outside world it would just look like new software update for Mac, or just a new gadget to be used within the facilities, but inside they’d be able to narrow it down and hold whoever accountable.
and now apple is releasing an accessibility mode called “assistive access” in iOS17 where it looks similar to this prototype version. it’s just a bunch of big buttons on ur screen
Fat proprietary charger, massive black bars, thick silver bezel. Jeez I forget how far we've come in terms of aesthetics. I'm aware of how much more powerful the phones are and how many UI improvements we've had but wow, I'm just blown away by the drastic change in basic appearance over the years.
Also if you unlock the bootloader on the latest fold phone thingy you can't use the camera. They say it's for security. That's like saying "If you use non iDoGaming oil your car won't start, dont worry it's for safety"
@Clint O'Connell a lot of late 2000s androids also didn't cost nearly as much as the iPhone did. Most that cost the same as the iPhone or more I remember having metal and glass construction. Edit: I'm wrong and have no issue admitting it. I was thinking a little farther on. Wow I forgot how bad android phones looked/were in 2009.
@@whatbroicanhave50character35 At least the Galaxy S3 was functional.

For the WiFi you probably have to hook up an older router with older password security like WPA or other compatible security settings that your old or a current router may allow & the phone itself supports since there's several. So you can connect WiFi.
WPA2 was released in 2004, the same year that the iPhone started development, so it would make sense, but in the WiFi menu, it has WPA2 on there, so most likely WPA2 was implemented in a later version, but was being implemented in the version that was leaked.
Even though it's REALLY OBVIOUS, I wonder if the "Welcome the the Newton MessagePad 3000" isn't actually a joke, but is in case somebody found the device. Then it would throw people off "this is the leaked iPhone" and instead it could be just a really small new Newton revival. I dunno I'm drunk.
Thank you! There is no other video showing the prototype firmware in detail. These prototype iPhones are very rare to come across, and I'm very happy that you made this video
Sounds like an interesting development! I like these videos, they make me learn quite a lot about the background of these things. Do you plan to still make development history videos some time around? It's been a while since I've seen those and I like them a lot!
The Operator screen is actually way more interesting. You should be able to tap on any of those icons and see all the tests. This would be used by "operators" in the factory on every single iPhone made to make sure all the sensors and other things were working. For example, if you tapped the Speaker icon, you would hear one of 4 different INXS songs, and you had to tap a button to indicate that you heard it.
My question will be little off topic but considering you're roll in Apple we're you ever yelled at by Steve Jobs? Are you still with Apple? If not why?

It looks like those were your photos, just zoomed in. When you took the third picture it started cycling through three different pictures instead of two.
Always wanted to see more about this ever since I heard about how Steve Jobs had pitted Scott Forstall against Tony Fadell for them to both be in charge of developing separate operating systems for the iPhone to see which one was better.
Nice to see someone covering SkankPhone! Haven't seen many people online actually cover it in the modern day, so this was refreshing to see. Cool stuff!

It’s funny to think about what phones looked like before iPhones. I remember a friend of mine got the iPhone the month it came out in 2007 and remember thinking it was really cool. I also remember a lot of people telling her “this is just a fad” and “how can you use a phone without a keyboard?” Google was smart enough to change course on android, others like Microsoft, not so much.
Its actually reffering to the multi touch surface, i saw someone on yt accedentally disable it and he couldnt turn it back on untill he held power button and it went back on.

I can't remember the name, but Apple bought out a company that created gesture-based touch interfaces so that they could adapt it for the iPhone.
This test OS is NOT a prototype of iOS. At all.
@@BilisNegra Wasn't it designed so that lower-level engineers couldn't leak the final design?

i love how the placeholder for the serial number icon was a .png of a box of Cheerios, just goes to show that apple engineers are jokesters
"CLNet" is likely C|Net (with the vertical bar as a separator, popular at the time.)
'Say hello to the Newton MessagePad 3000'

In theory you should be able to disable Multi-Touch without completely disabling touch. Not sure I would try it anyway though.
yeah cuz as the name suggest, it will just disable the Multi-Touch feature of the touchscreen essentially making it a single-touch as per my understanding
