Video transcript
You have over 100 trillion cells in your body.
You crawl for five months after birth, then walk for the rest of your life.
You use around 4,200 different words and…
…have up to 50,000 thoughts every day.
You make about 1,700 friends and…
…meet 90,000 people in your lifetime.
…but it only takes a split second for you to fall in love.
You share 540,000 laughs.
And cry 3,000 tears,
And you dream 104,000 times
Everything about you inspires me.
To me, you are perfect.

The list goes on with features that incorporate software and hardware features such as its camera, innovation, battery, privacy, storage, experience, touch and more.
