"But I'm still using an original iPhone..." - no one sane in 2012-2013.
I gave mine to my mother, who still uses it around the house as an extra internet access device. I got it in the first half hour or so of sales on opening day and it still works fine.
Fun to think back how wildly new and futuristic it seemed at the time and the comments I overheard people making to each other about it when I first had it out in public.
I still remember saying to my brother when Apple first announced the iPhone that's what every cell phone would look like in the future and now they do. I think it will be a long time until we see another cell phone that revolutionary again.

The US is way behind the world in this. We need better consumer protection laws. They shoud have parts and service available for at least five years, 10 would be better but three is just ripping people off.
It's not like Aple woud have to give away the parts, they sell for a huge mark up. Just have them available so good working gear does not have to be thrown away
So you want everyone to be forced to pay higher prices to cover the cost of maintaining obsolete supply lines?

I want one. It looks and feels so nice.
The original and the 3G versions where definitely more comfortable to hold without a case than the 4's & 5's (especially the 4's). It would be nice if they would go back to the rounded edges.
