This Was Obama's Reaction After Steve Jobs Showed Him the First iPhone

Before the world knew anything about it and before he became president of the US, Barack Obama got a sneak peek at the very first iPhone. In a private meeting in early 2007, Steve Jobs showed the future president the game-changing device.

"If it were legal, I would buy a boatload of Apple stock," Obama said, according to the upcoming book Believer written by David Axelrod, Obama's chief campaign advisor. "This thing is going to be really big."

Obama, you fortune-teller, you.

Not too long after, Jobs unveiled the iPhone to the world on Jan. 9, 2007. Here's what it looked like at the time.
