“Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything,” said late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, at a MacWorld keynote on this day 16 years ago. This was when Jobs unveiled the truly revolutionary iPhone to the world.

During the same event, Jobs used the original iPhone to prank call a Starbucks in San Francisco, as part of a demo of Google Maps. He was highlighting how iPhone users could use the Google Maps app to find Starbucks locations.

“Good morning,” answered the polite voice of employee Ying Hang “Hannah” Zhang. “How may I help you?”

“Yes, I’d like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please,” Jobs said, grinning.

“Just kidding. Wrong number,” he quickly added and hung up, in front of 4,000 people.
