I have had every iPhone on DAY 1 since the original 2G phone was launched. I remember waiting in line at the AT&T store questioning whether I should blow $1200 on two new phones. It ended up being a great decisions because at the time my phone had technology that was light years ahead of anyone else's. I can't believe how far we've all come since then.... I will be getting the iPhone 5 on DAY 1 again!
With the exception of the 3G, I've had every iPhone. Thanks in part to being the main line on a family plan. I got my original iPhone back in August. I recall it came with OS 1.0.0 loaded.
Every one but the 3GS. I skipped that one because it really didn't have that much my 3G didn't have. I jailbreak so I already had alot of the features from the 3GS on my 3G.
I am actually very excited. Walking into the Freehold store and getting the last iPhone in that cool slick paper bag. [sigh] Those were the days. Every iPhone on Day 1. No exceptions.
It really does not matter whether you like it or not what importantis having the newest apple product on day 1
Yes, every phone on launch day since the original iPhone... Hoping to continue the run this year, too!
I started with the 3G and have had every one on launch day. When the first one came out I was still rocking my Razr.
Got the 3g in late august 2008. Got the ip4 on launch day. Skipped the 2g, 3gs, 4s, and will be skipping the 5
The good old days! I miss how my 2G was fast back in the day. Had all iPhone on launch day. It is a tradition now in our family lol
Sorry just a small attempt at humor at the expense of people who would blindly buy whatever Apple product comes down the pike. (Myself Included!!)
I've had everyone till this year. I'm choosing to pass on iPhone 5 (or whatever it's called). The leaks have revealed enough, that I'm absolutely certain there's no way Apple will include the features that matter to me. No excitement = no sale. An additional benefit? No sale = no bugs or annoyances. No bugs or annoyances... Priceless
Yup, with the exception of the first iPhone, which Apple gave to me when I was an employee, which I find more special anyway.
Started with the 3G... Skipped the 3GS. Family has switched carriers back and forth between AT&T/Verizon for the last couple years (for one reason or another, mainly crap service/we move and service changes), coincidentally coinciding with iPhone launches. tl;dr I haven't ever paid an off-contract price for a new iPhone /Edit: Just sold my 4S on eBay, currently using a 4 which will be donated to a lady friend once I get the 5...
Some people consider it a hobby now LOL only got one iPhone, iPhone 4 CDMA and I'll probably use it till it physically breaks. No need to waste money and throw away a perfectly capable phone.
It's became almost like a ritual with me and a couple of friends. They started with the original iPhone though.
iPhone 2G: Wasn't interested. Still thought my N95 8GB was the coolest thing ever. Also had some misleading information about iPhone only worked on CDMA Don't know where I heard that from.. iPhone 3G: I WANT THAT NOW! Bought one off eBay for quite a ridiculous price. Using a GEVEY SIM for my T-Mobile. iPhone 3GS: NEW IPHONE! Switch to ATT. iPhone 4: It's a thing of beauty! Placed 2 orders with my friend in Canada to get me the factory unlocked version. iPhone 4S: It's the same shape. Nothing great about it. Not gonna buy it! A month later, Apple finally had the unlocked version and I immediately placed an order for a white 64GB 4S. iPhone 5: Definitely, yes! Although still contemplating between white or black.
