Perhaps, maybe everyone was waiting on the 7, I guess and it hasn't delivered.

"The iPhone 6, the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7... are you getting it? This isn't one device. These are 3 separate devices and we call it: Return On Investment"

(Or, for that matter, the newspapers, printed on cheap paper instead of rare earth minerals subject to energy intensive processes, occasionally featured content other than pictures of your cousin's sandwich, with pieces from the leading thinkers not being unheard of.)
I remember thinking when it was announced that I need to figure out a way to raise $600 and convince my wife to switch to AT&T (From Verizon)...ended missing out on the original iPhone and got the iPhone 3G.
I remember looking at the iPhone 1 and just thinking its kinda cool and all but it's big, overpriced and lacks lots of features...
Some people just live for negativity. It must be strange walking around inside those heads. Enjoying depression?
I still have my original iPhone but I doubt it works now. I may have to buy a 30 pin DONGLE (!!!) and try charging it up
Only ones left from this picture is phil, jony, eddy. I can live with phil and jony.I miss Steve and Scott.
He does. The best will come when he is out of the way and someone with management and vision takes his place.
Apple ought to bring Woz in. Ironically, Woz being a nuts & bolts man (vs Jobs being the big picture guy), has reversed over the years as he takes more and more interest in emerging technologies, to the point that, if he rejoined Apple in any way today, he'd be the big picture visionary, surrounded by specialists who can't see past their shoes.
*would insert picture of smiling Woz, but after 10 years, iOS still can't copy an image location to paste in.

Wow. It's already been 10 years since people stopped looking both ways before crossing the street?
A lot of people have forgotten that it was pretty much a tech demo at launch that was missing a lot of important features competing smartphones had at the time. 3G, Microsoft Exchange support, and installable applications were pretty stunning omissions.
That's because they only served one purpose - to display news. Smartphones do many thousands of things including live news, social media, web browsing, gaming, music, video entertainment and personal communication in general.
Pre-internet/pre-smartphones (I grew up in the 80s/90s) I would spend my free time doing most of the above but on different mediums anyway. Heck I could spend hours chatting on a regular landline phone without even thinking about it. The only difference now is you can do it all on one device.
I think there are a number of Apple competitors that pay people to astro-turf this forum (why else would all these Android supporters be here?). Especially the folks that talk about price for the iPhone since new Galaxy S's (or Pixels or whatever) are the same price.
As can be seen on that 1st page of this subject, roughly the 1st 2/3rds of comments don't make sense given this topic here - unless they were working for a competitor. JMHO....
Woz is a lovable dinosaur that hasn't worked on any product since his universal remote control in the 80s. Hardware engineering has changed in massive ways and it's not clear what he'd be able to contribute to the field today.
It's true. Every generation thinks the next one is going to hell in a handbasket.
The difference is, this time it's actually true
Ironically, Jobs did not let his own kids use the iPad when it first came out. He also forbade the use of any technology at the dinner table.
He was like a drug dealer who pushed to everyone else, but protected his own children from the very products he sold.
There's a lesson somewhere in there for other parents.
The post states you CAN'T play music without an adapter. I can't tell you the last time I had to use an adapter to play music with any iPhone I have owned. And as for the 3.5mm.... haven't used that in the last 3 years. All the cars I've owned are older than 2001. And I still don't need an adapter to play music in them.
The difference between SJ and Cook is startling when you go back and watch vids like these.
