Nope, I was being deadly serious, it's a bag lol. You genuinely think it's gonna be worth something in the future don't you. Oh dear..

Who said I'm worried about the worth of it. It's a personal collector's item. I don't know why you're so concerned. It's a memory and something that I don't mind keeping around.

And yet you still pocket almost all of the profits in the smartphone industry...!!!

Special edition iPhone bag? Lol... This is how Apple marketing wins...

Uhhh did they ever make another "iPhone specific" bag? No. The first iPhone changed the game and I was lucky enough to own the original and if I want to keep the bag (which was limited) and box it came in then so be it.

I don't know why any of you are so pressed. Marketing? This has nothing to do with marketing. I'm not SELLING the bag and I didn't BUY the bag.

I'm sure some of you have held onto things way worse than a bag that was made specifically for one of the most game changing pieces of technology.

Fall. Back.

Sshhhh.. don't let other MR members know that you have one of these fancy must have bags . The value of theirs is plummeting by the second as more and more are spotted in the wild. Lol

If you hear anyone laughing, it's at you and not with you.

I definitely laughed with him...
 
This might sound dramatic but when I think of the past I often think in terms of "before iPhone" and "after iPhone." I bought it when it first came out and, wow, what a change it was for me. I had a Treo 650 before it and it was okay but didn't feel unified. It felt like a Palm Pilot forced into a phone (but again, I was fine with that two years before the iPhone). The iPhone was amazing and I will never forget when I got it.

That was back when Apple had secrecy. The Jobs era where leaks were airtight. Now everyone and their grandma knows what the next iphone will do and look like and Tim Cook could not care less

Comeback of the week!!!!!

Collectors item? Really... so you do think a crummy bag with a print of a phone on the side is worth anything? Wow, the mind boggles at the value some folk put on things. Good luck if you are betting your pension on this bag lol

You kind of forget to understand that now there are 50x people and suppliers invloved, and 50x the attention and obsession for any Apple leak: at all levels, be it consumers curiosity, business analysts, competitor, etc.

In a free democracy you just can't keep something secret if you are building tens of millions devices with thousands of human beings involved across tens of companies and countries.
 
Now Tony Fadell says the Schiller keyboard story is false and he wants the author to correct.

And the author tweeted:

It was taken verbatim from an on-the-record portion of our interview, which was recorded and conducted in person. I stand by my story 100%.

So either Phil or Tony are not telling the truth. But it doesn't really matter, they're not standing trial

You keep talking about its worth. I don't care about its worth. It's just for ME. I'm not selling the damn thing.

Whyyy are you so bothered? You seem so lost. Poor thing.

One of extremely few I'm sure.
 
Imagine losing your wife because you were so focused on iPhone, only to have competitors flood the market with near-identical competing phones.
Eh, either there were other problems in the marriage or the wife wasn't worth keeping around anyway if she was going to leave over her husband paying his dues at his career. I'm a wife whose husband had to spend years working insane hours to establish his career. I know plenty of people whose spouses are buried alive at work. The marriages don't easily break up due to that if both spouses are of good character and love each other and function as a team. My husband always says his accomplishments are mine, too. His career is a family endeavor. As was mine, when I had one.
 
Look at launch video of the original iPhone. Steve Jobs himself calls it the iPhone during the presentation...
He does not. He said: "And we are calling it iPhone." And that's the first time the name iPhone was ever used. He clearly didn't wanted to use an article.
