Neistat’s breakthrough came after producing a 3-minute short video titled iPod’s Dirty Secret in 2003.

The video went viral on the internet, with many international media outlets such as The Washington Post, Rolling Stone Magazine, Fox News, CBS News, and BBC News featuring it on their platforms.

Apple went ahead to condemn the film, saying that it was produced at a moment when they were still working on the policy and warranty.

Neistat and brother, Van, then produced a second film dubbed Science Experiments in 2004, which further propelled him to fame.
