According to the source, Son came to Steve Jobs in 2005 and showed him a sketch of an iPod with a large screen and Apple operating system. However, Jobs gave up on this idea. He also hinted to Son that Apple already has similar developments.
A week after this meeting, the Japanese businessman came to Jobs’ house and eventually obtained a verbal agreement from Apple’s president to give Softbank exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in Japan. Jobs caved to Son because of his insistence, describing the businessman as crazy but brave and having a unique vision of the situation.
The first iPhone appeared in 2007.
