Tony Fadell, behind the iPod, iPhone and Nest Thermostat does some spring cleaning
“Anyone want to see what I unearthed when I cleaned out my garage and found photos of everything I’ve ever made?” Tony Fadell tweeted in mid-April. It was a rhetorical question. Anyone with a passing interest in the last two decades of consumer hardware would jump at the opportunity to see what the man behind the iPod, iPhone and Nest Thermostat had stashed away in those giant Home Depot boxes.
TechCrunch reached out to Fadell’s team following the tweet, asking if they might be able to get in on the garage sale. They happily complied, sending along a dozen images that provide a rough guide of the product designer’s career, from the early days through his time at Nest.
The post spans from when Fadell worked for General Magic through to Nest, acquired by Google and the time in between including Apple and the iPhone.
