Wired looks back at the story of the iPhone

With MacWorld just a few short days away, now is a good time to look back and reflect on the bounty of MacWorlds past. For example, last year's announcement of the iPhone, which was undoubtedly one of the biggest announcements in Apple's 30+ year history. Sure, you know all about the iPhone's long journey from idea to rumor to final product (and if you don't, be sure to check out FierceWireless' iPhone timeline)--but do you know the behind the scenes, untold story of the iPhone? Wired does. In their extensive feature, the venerable tech magazine details the entire history of the device, from start to finish. While most of the article restates the sort of stuff that you already know, it is peppered with a few previously-unknown details relating to early prototypes, internal struggles and Apple's partnership with Motorola for the disastrous ROKR. If you consider yourself an iPhone fanboy, be sure to check this piece out.
