There have been plenty of articles and stories from insiders about the creation of the iPhone, iPod, and other important Apple products. I’ve seen many in Wired and other tech publications. They may not have the same candor and charm of a folklore.org posting, but they are fascinating all the same. It’s wonderful that Hertzfeld et al are willing share so much great technical and personal information about their time in that Apple era. This is the kind of stuff that people like us who read sites like this love. I fear that similar stories of the modern era will be forever buried under the threat of lawsuits from violating NDAs and that’s a real shame. Stories like this need to be told.
