> one of the most important products in human history

the pill (birth control) and the washing machine were the two single most significant products of the 20th century due to their role in liberating women. i can think of others (the light bulb, the car, the television). do you really believe the iphone compares (in terms of historical significance) to these products?

> And if it didn’t amaze you, I think you’re bitter and cynical.

it didn't amaze me because consumer electronics don't amaze me. sorry.

> I was on the team that delivered the first iPad and you wouldn’t believe how excited we were for the announcement as other companies introduced tablets that weren’t anywhere near as good during the months leading up to it.

being proud of your work is fine. assuming it is of historical importance is arrogant. sorry again.
