Steve Jobs is known for his revolutionary invention of iPhone and the person who has changed the world with his technology and visionary ideas. This might come as a major shock to all iPhone users who considered Steve Jobs as the founder of iPhone when a U.S politician recently said that iPhone was not invented by Steve Jobs.
iPhone comes with the best technology and is also known its his pretty design, but let’s not forget the actual person behind the invention of iPhone and it was U.S Government. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi strongly claimed on Thursday that iPhone, one of the best phone known for its technology was created by U.S government and not the former chief executive officer, Steve Jobs.
Pelosi further raised up the phone and said that everything required in this iPhone actually came from federal investments in research. She further said that Steve Jobs did a good job designing it and putting it together but it was the Federal government who took the initiative to invest in the making of iPhone. In addition to this, Pelosi also listed out government’s contribution required by researching iPhone’s various components and functionalist.
Speaking of original ideas and conceptualization, Pelosi is not the only one to discredit Steve Jobs. There are many other Apple employees, who also spoke about Steve Jobs taking the credit of making iPhone but the fact is actual invention was done by government’s dime.

In an interview with Triumph of the Nerds a 1996 British/American television documentary, produced by John Go Productions and Oregon Public Broadcasting for Channel 4 and PBS, Jobs said, “Picasso had a saying he said good artists copy great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.”
Now, everyone remembers the moment when Barak Obama told that “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help” and this is the case with Steve Jobs as well. In an individualist world like America, everyone loves to get individual credit rather than sharing their victory.
Even when this comes to the invention of iPhone, Jobs is not the only person behind it, Is he?
