Steve Jobs was initially reluctant to create an app store, but was convinced that opening the platform to developers would enhance the iPhone's capabilities.

When the iPhone was released, even in developing countries, people loved it and used it daily, indicating a strong market potential.

Apple won the mobile battle with the App Store, which became a crucial platform for app distribution, unlike the fragmented app ecosystems of earlier smartphones.

The launch of the iPhone in 2007 sparked my idea to design a mobile app, leading to the creation of my first business, Six Agency. I wanted to push the idea that you don't need a full catalog of products in front of a customer on a small device; the app would show only one highly curated product per day, which could be anything from a pencil from Japan to a beautiful watch.

The launch of the iPhone led to unexpected successes like Flappy Bird, illustrating how new technologies can create unforeseen business opportunities.

With the initial funding, we hired engineers to help develop our iPhone app, but faced delays in getting it approved.

Steve Jobs had a vision for the iPad that led to a platform allowing developers to create applications, which ultimately drove its success.

I then partnered with a friend to build products for the iPhone, inspired by the potential of the new technology.

If we were to build a phone today, we might not create an app store as we know it; instead, we would focus on allowing users to express their needs and let the system respond accordingly.
