Which iPhone to you, changed the game of phones the most?

I gotta go with the 3g. That's where the app store was introduced, the iPhone got 3G, and it was amazing.
 
4... Hands down. Completely new structure, Retina etc.

The 5... I'd rank it 3rd behind the 3G.
 
4, closely followed by 5.

Screen, cameras and design blew everything out of the water with the 4.

5 is almost as good, bigger screen and LTE are great features.

Weird choice. The 3G is the least revolutionary iPhone of all-time. It only got 3G and GPS, rest of the hardware was exactly the same as the original iPhone. All the other phones at least got a spec bump.

I'm saying that because it came with the app store, which is the main point for most people buying iPhones now.

iPhone structure wise, I would say 4 all day. That was a crazy day when they showed off how they made it, followed by the whole antenna death grip fiasco.:rolleyes:

True, but I think you're underestimating how much of an impact 3G and GPS had on a phone with (by todays standards) so little in it.

I think the 4 was the most, so many new features and a truly new design.
 
The reason why people picked the iPhone 5 is because it's the latest. Just remember, pick the one with the biggest leap compared to the previous version and NOT from the first generation.
 
The first caused a revolution in the industry, but the 4 trumped it in terms of wow factor.

At the time, the leap in res was so far beyond the competition it was unbelievable. It suddenly made every other screen, big or small, look utter gash.
 
Purely hardware, from what we've seen so far this iPhone 5.

VERY closely followed by the 4. 4 had a brilliant new, fresh, sleek design. Great battery life, amazing screen, great camera and new antenna (plus some other stuff).

5 has a new (not as fresh) design, bigger screen (allegedly nicer looking according to Apple), facetime hd camera, lte.

Honestly can't say until I see a 5 in person, but it sounds like a bigger step. Also the battery life is better than the 4S, I'm sure many found the battery life from the 3GS to 4 slightly worse/about the same.
