How was the Agile Method applied in the development of Apple's Safari browser for the iPad?

The Agile Method was applied in the development of Apple's Safari browser for the iPad by assigning the project to a small team. According to Adam Lashinsky's book, just two engineers were assigned to write the code for converting the Safari browser for the iPad. This approach aligns with the Agile Method's emphasis on working in small teams to drive productivity and innovation.

Question was asked on:

In his book, Lashinsky, first of all, confirms that Steve Jobs was the supreme Product Owner in the Scrum terminology. "Apple designed for Steve. It is not an exaggeration. Steve was the user that everything orbited around and was designed for," Lashinsky writes. Also, the Agile Method is all about doing work in small teams, and per Lashinsky, "Apple frequently assigns major projects to small groups. For example, just two engineers wrote the code for converting Apple's Safari browser for the iPad, a massive undertaking."
