Apple CEO Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) held a meeting with employees, during which he noted the importance of the iPhone for the company's business. He explained that the release of a mobile phone “will add a third leg to a chair on two legs” (obviously, referring to the Mac and iPod directions) and make it more durable and stable.
In addition, speaking of plans for the coming year, Steve Jobs announced the release of a Mac computer, which, according to him, will be something special. Also, the head of Apple mentioned that the company is now working on a new generation iPod player, which, like the iPhone, will work based on the embedded version of the Mac OS X operating system.
And the last, extremely interesting statement of Jobs was the following: he said that all Apple employees, both permanent and temporary (who worked for at least a year), will receive an 8-GB iPhone for free at the end of July. Approximately by this date, the company expects some slowdown in demand for its phone. ')
