The short version and the original version. I recommend reading both, in this order.

I like this bit:

For those working on the iPhone, the next three months would be the most stressful of their careers. Screaming matches broke out routinely in the hallways. Engineers, frazzled from all-night coding sessions, quit, only to rejoin days later after catching up on their sleep. A product manager slammed the door to her office so hard that the handle bent and locked her in; it took colleagues more than an hour and some well-placed whacks with an aluminum bat to free her.


Interesting reading though, the lengths they went to to keep things secret, the focus and money spent on testing etc.
