Steve Jobs has always been a big secretive person. He tried to keep all information about upcoming Apple products from the public eye. If an employee of the Cupertino corporation revealed the slightest detail about the planned products, Jobs was furious and had no mercy. However, according to one former Apple employee, it was Jobs himself who inadvertently showed the first iPhone model to an uninitiated person before it was introduced at MacWorld in 2007.

Shortly before the mentioned technology conference, a team of engineers working on the development of the iPhone met at Jobs' home to solve a problem with the Wi-Fi connection of this upcoming phone. When employees were prevented from working, a FedEx courier rang the doorbell to deliver the package to the California company's boss. At that time, Steve Jobs went outside the house to receive the shipment and confirm the receipt with a signature. But he probably forgot and still had his iPhone in his hand. He then hid it behind his back, took the package and returned to the house.

The former Apple employee who spoke about the matter was somewhat shocked by the whole event. Employees are forced to guard all Apple secrets like an eye in the head, they are heavily persecuted for any leaked information, and the great Steve himself then goes out on the street with an iPhone in his hand. At the same time, iPhones were transported to Jobs' house in special locked boxes, and until then these phones had never left the company's campus for security reasons.
