Apple iPhone 10

The new iPhone X launch announced by Tim Cook was tribute to  Apple founder Steve Jobs.  Jobs is credited with  growing the Apple company from a business selling the first 200 Apple1 computers built in his home to being the largest company in the world.  The Apple1 computer was designed by Steve Wozniak the Apple cofounder.

The new iPhone launch was also a history making event on the new Apple  'spaceship' campus in Cupertino, California. The event was held in the  "Steve Jobs Theater". The first facility to open on the $5 billion campus.
