During the 1st live iPhone demo, Steve Jobs was secretly switching phones because they couldn’t even play a song without crashing. Their displays were rigged to show 5 bars of signal strength and he had to use a portable cell tower just so they would seem reliable enough to make calls. One little mistake could’ve ruined the entire presentation, but Jobs got through it flawlessly, and the iPhone was a hit before it ever actually worked. Source Source 2

I like how the narrative here is “master showman” and not “dumbass who made a phone that doesn’t work and lied about it.”
