Apple has a big office in Cork with several thousand employees. The āiā in iPhone stands for Ireland, and this is the early prototype.
This was a real phone that you could buy from (I believe) the national carrier in the late 80s / early 90s.
I didn't know anyone with one myself but I do recall seeing them for sale and I'm pretty sure it was in the telephone book that I saw it (that was how you chose your phone in those days for most people).
We just had a shite beige one with the same receiver and buttons but it did do the beep boop instead of the tok tok tok which was great. Old people will understand.
joke about this is the phone Biden used to call the Irish pres after they finally knocked off queen Lizzy
