> If we want to be pedantic, the transistor is perhaps the linchpin of the modern world

Great example. Shockly and Bardeen got a nobel for it. Did Steve Jobs get a nobel for the iPhone? Sorry I'm not aware.

> The iPhone team genuinely changed the world

I feel like not a single person on this site has ever taken a writing class.

My guy you've repeated this claim thrice now without a single instance/indication for how. Do you not understand that I don't agree with you and therefore your job (if you choose) is to convince me, not just reiterate the same shtick over and over hoping I just magically change my mind.

Edit: it's amazing to me how asinine this discussion is. Only on hn would I be debating whether removing a physical keyboard from a consumer electronics device is considered a historical event. If you think it was more than that, that the iPhone ushered in the era of mobile connectivity, you're delusional (but I guess the reality distortion field is still strong at AP).
