On this episode of Our American Stories, on January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs stepped onto the stage at Macworld and unveiled a device that would change how the world communicates. What looked like a flawless presentation was actually a high-wire act, with hidden risks, backup devices, and engineers bracing for disaster behind the scenes.

Our own Greg Hengler shares the story of the iPhone launch that reinvented the phone, powered Apple’s comeback, and helped create the modern app-driven world we now take for granted.
