Iconic Phones: Revolution at Your Fingertips uncovers the stories, breakthrough innovations and bold risks that shaped the way we communicate, capture memories, work and entertain ourselves. We trace more than two decades of innovation: the journey starts in the early 2000s, when phones were still mostly for calling and texting, and arrives at today’s powerful smartphones that sit at the center of our lives. We’re beyond excited to feature exclusive contributions from some of the most recognizable names in the tech world, including Linus Sebastian from LinusTechTips, Austin Evans, Mrwhosetheboss, Jon Rettinger, JerryRigEverything, Brandon Butch, Max Tech, and SuperSaf! They share intriguing personal anecdotes and perspectives on the devices that sparked excitement, competition, and sometimes chaos across the industry.
