On January 9, 2007, during a keynote address, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, a groundbreaking device that combined an iPod, phone, and Internet communicator. Notably, the iPhone presented to the audience was not the final product; Apple needed a durable, scratch-resistant glass screen, which prompted COO Jeff Williams to secure a partnership with Corning. Corning quickly provided the necessary glass technology, enabling the official launch in June 2007.
