A look at an original iPhone prototype

I realise that this was probably said in an effort to appear worldly in an “I knew the dog before he came to school” sort of way, but it does a good job of illustrating how working with cool tech can sometimes desensitize one to the fact that it is, after all, cool.

I bet rocket scientists think rockets are kinda boring too, after a while.

"Very dull content for anyone who has worked on anything related to rockets during the past 20 years. Every manufacturer has similar prototype rockets and there is nothing special in this rocket prototype." :)

I can't imagine somebody would say this, but you might be right!

I worked (for a short time) at the Norwegian Rocket Range.

While it was never boring as such, there is no denying being around actual rocket science soon became commonplace and nothing to be particularly excited about.

The notable exception being the actual launches, but the old hands claimed one eventually became quite blasé about those, too.

No. There truly isn't anything Hacker news worthy about an article about a HW prototype of a phone. It's perfectly normal electronics.

It may only interest some iPhone/Apple fanboys.
