Hence Steve Jobs, He had an exceptional idea during the presentation in order to boost his device, which apparently worked out for the best.
Something really new that surprised consumers at the time was Google MapsWell, for people, it was somewhat surprising to have the location you wanted at hand to search for any place.
Because of that, Steve showed during the presentation, this application, since clearly, at that time, Apple had not yet developed its own navigation system that is known today.
To do the complete demonstration, Jobs decided to look for a Starbucks, then he selected the exact address of a branch, where you could also see the phone number, so he decided to call a starbucksfrom the Google Maps app.
He former Apple CEO decided to handle the call with a subtle joke, because when they answered back starbucks mentioned the following:
I’d like to order 4k lattes to go please, he later added that it was a joke. I have made a mistake! Thank you.”

This action was liked by the attendees who laughed at what happened. During the presentation, Steve Jobs He made a call to order 4,000 lattes to order a Starbucks, which was also marketing for that company.
Evidently, the Starbucks employee who answered the call had no idea that she was talking to the Apple CEO back then, Steve Jobs, nor that it was part of the presentation of the new cell phone that would make history in the world.
