The world may soon see the book Believer by David Axelrod, chief strategist of Barack Obama's campaign headquarters. In it, he mentions a remarkable event in the life of the head of the United States, which happened before Obama took office.
So, according to Axelrod, the President of the United States, having seen the iPhone, said that he would buy a "wagon" of the company's shares.
At that time, the corporation's securities were sold at a price of $ 12-14 per share, that is, in the end, he would have received a huge profit. Nevertheless, despite such a positive response from Obama, not everyone was of this opinion. So, in one of the interviews, then Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer "smashed" Apple's touchscreen smartphone. In the video below, he says that business people do not need such devices, because they do not have a "full" physical keyboard.
One of those who immediately realized the benefits of the iPhone was Andy Rubin of Google, who almost instantly changed the direction of Android development. At least that's what Fred Vogelstein states in his book:
Note that Obama met with Steve Jobs several times before his death. One of the meetings was participation in the Silicon Valley Summit, the photo of which is posted above.
