The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Won the internal contest to base the iPhone on a slimmed-down Mac OS, letting the huge Mac developer community write for the new device.
  • Created the iPhone SDK and the App Store within iTunes, opening iOS to third-party developers worldwide.

Why

Why we celebrate them.

You bet the iPhone on a real operating system and an open door for developers, and both bets remade computing. Thank you, Scott.
