A YouTube video of two original iPhone prototypes shows that the past 10 years might have been very different: the first iPhone almost had a scroll wheel.
The video, posted by YouTube user Sonny Dickson, shows prototype iPhones known as versions P1 and P2 running two versions of Acorn OS, Apple's testing operating system. P2, with its direct touch interface, was the one that went to market 10 years ago, though in a more developed form than shown in the video. P1 more closely resembles the hallmark scroll wheel of the original iPod.
P2 is on the right.
Tony Fadell, who worked as senior vice president of the iPod division at Apple from 2006 to 2008 and was part of the team that created the original iPod, tweeted about the video, saying that P2 was always the right choice.
According to Dickson, Fadell and his team created P1, and Scott Forstall created P2, which eventually won out, though Fadell&039;s tweet implies that Steve Jobs was pushing for the scroll wheel.
Even as late as December 2006, right before Steve Jobs would reveal the first iPhone on January 9, 2007, rumors were swirling that the iPhone would sport a virtual version of the iPod&039;s design. These prototype interfaces indicate that Apple considered the option but ultimately chose to develop the modular interface we recognize today.
Apple did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Less than a week after last year's presidential election, a Trump supporter named Alan Beck tweeted two photographs of an anti-Trump protest in Washington, DC, in which a hooded figure held aloft a sign reading “Rape Melania.” The images went viral, and the sign — as well as Twitter — drew swift condemnation from news outlets both right and left.
Some Trump supporters took the sign as confirmation that the passionate national opposition to the president-elect was ultimately anarchic and violent. (Many of these supporters had drawn a similar conclusion about the #BlackLivesMatter movement.) “The current surge in the left&039;s propensity toward violence and mayhem should surprise no one,” wrote one InfoWars commenter. And to some Clinton supporters, the sign was a gutting refutation of Michelle Obama&039;s “when they go low, we go high” speech and a reminder that Trump rallies didn&039;t hold a monopoly on menace.
But, BuzzFeed News has learned, the “Rape Melania” sign was not the work of an anti-Trump protestor at all. Instead, according to sources, it was the brainchild of a group of Trump supporters led by Jack Posobiec, one of the organizers of the controversial Deploraball inauguration party and a prominent figure in the pro-Trump internet.
Furthermore, as shown by a series of Posobiec&039;s text messages obtained by BuzzFeed News and confirmed by a source who collaborated with Posobiec, the sign was the culmination of a disinformation campaign by Posobiec and others intended to paint the anti-Trump rallies as violent and out of control.
In a phone call with BuzzFeed News, Posobiec denied that the texts were sent by him and said that it was likely they had been Photoshopped. He also denied having any involvement in the campaign.
BuzzFeed News reviewed the texts on a source&039;s iPhone in Signal, the secure texting app, and the Signal messages allegedly from Posobiec came from the same phone number on which BuzzFeed News talked to Posobiec.
At 9:59 p.m. on November 10, Posobiec posted a video to Twitter of an anti-Trump protestor yelling “Assassinate that nigga.” In a 10:30 p.m. text message that same night, Posobiec claimed that he&039;d started an “assassinate Trump” chant to goad protestors into copying him, with the intention of filming them:
Though the video didn&039;t go viral, it was picked up by Russia Today and some conservative blogs. In the same text message conversation, Posobiec and his collaborator brainstormed other incendiary things to chant, including “Rape Melania.”
Two days later, in another text obtained by BuzzFeed News, Posobiec discussed with another collaborator his plan to “discredit” an anti-Trump protest by infiltrating it “with the bad signs.”
According to a source, it is Posobiec himself holding the “Rape Melania” sign in the photographs published by Beck — a charge Posobiec also denies.
After posting the photographs, Beck uploaded a 22-minute YouTube video of he and Posobiec sitting in a car near the protest, entitled “Anti-Trump Protester Created&039;R4PE MELANIA!&039; Sign and The Rest of the Protesters Do Nothing.”
The following day, a collaborator texted Posobiec a screenshot of Twitter&039;s trending topics, of which “Rape Melania” was number 3. Posobiec responded, “Woah&033;”
Today, the former Deploraball organizer Anthime Gionet — who goes by Baked Alaska on Twitter – accused Posobiec of making the sign.
Posobiec, who is the special projects director of a grassroots organization called CitizensForTrump, has been at the center of several flareups of the new right media in recent weeks. In November, Posobiec was thrown out of Comet Ping Pong, the Washington DC pizza parlor made infamous by #pizzagate, for filming a children&039;s birthday party. And in December, Posobiec started the viral #DumpStarWars hashtag after claiming that last month&039;s film Rogue One contained anti-Trump scenes.
