An Animated History of the iPhone

Here’s a clever, just-under-four-minutes animated history of all the things leading up to the iPhone created by CNET UK. It includes:

• Steve Jobs
• The Motorola Dynatac, and later the ROKR
• Sony portable tape players (which would lead to the Walkman)
• ARPANET
• Tim Berners-Lee and his NeXT cube
• Apple’s Jony Ive and his spiritual predecessor, Braun’s Dieter Rams
• NeXTSTEP
