Why do so many people think the iphone 4 and 4s were made out of aluminum?
And yes the iPhone 4 was the coolest. Design and retina! iPhone 5 is boring!! I want a 4.5" phone, and not just taller!!
Got a tip for us?

Steve Jobs wouldn't have went with the larger screen. Personally, I think the smaller screen is better.
Well, obviously.
The question isn't which one is the most powerful. It's which one is most exciting/coolest. Meaning which one gave you the most excitement before and after announcement and release. Which one "wowed" you the most.
Not exciting but it took what made the 4 great and worked out the kinks. Much faster internals, no antenna gate, etc.
3GS is the first smartphone/iphone I got so it wins.
The funny thing is that it was between the iphone and a palm pre. Thank god I picked the iphone lol.

Because it's a 3 year old phone. This thread is talking about which generated the most excitement when it was released/when users got it.
In the past I would have agreed with you, since I make a lot of calls.
Then I realized I use it even more for other things. Its primary function is no longer just as a phone.
no. the original iphone came into a world without iphones/androids. it came into a completely different set of rules.
from then on, the smartphone world changed, and that's what this poll is about - which iPhone did Apple do its best on in this new market?\
makes total sense.
the upgraded internals were quite significant.
to me, a gadget's exciting factor is not only about outer looks.
the 4S introduced siri, which was up there in the exciting scale back then. it significantly improved the camera. it got rid of the antenna problem.
it introduced a dual core processor to run that retina display much more effectively.
iPhone 4, because of the retina display and the design.
And of course the original iPhone for changing the landscape.

I would have to say the iPhone 4 due to the anticipation and it generally blew people away. The last two iPhones have been better than the 4 but the impact had already been made. 
The original iPhone was the most exciting, simply because it was like nothing that was previously on the market.
After that, iPhone 4 raised the bar with its exterior design and retina display, and then the 4S gave users serious computing power.
I like my 5 a lot, but it is more evolutionary in the same way that I felt the 3/3G were evolutionary.

While 4 was absolutely revolutionary, I would have to lean towards the 3G model. I guess probably because it served as a gateway to the world of smartphones for me.
Gosh, there are sure a lot of johnny-come-latelys here....
That very first iPhone was without a doubt the most exciting, the coolest, the most amazing -- and none of its successors (although I've had most of them) could ever match that. Really. I still remember back in 2007 hearing in the months prior to its release about this newfangled iPhone thingy -- the "Jesus Phone" -- to come and thinking, "yeah, well...." and thinking, "heck, I don't even use the cell phone I have now, why would I want one of THOSE things?" Happily for me, the penny dropped, though, and it dawned on me just what new and exciting innovations the iPhone was offering.....and how they would be really beneficial to me. Lo and behold, that fateful day in June, then, I waited in line on that very first iPhone Launch Day, still really not quite certain about the device upon which I was to drop a substantial amount of money. None of us had seen the thing yet.
While waiting in line, using my old cell phone, I rang a friend. She bluntly told me I was nuts when I announced where I was and why. I grinned into the phone and said, "yep!" The time came for us to go into the Apple store....I dutifully forked over my credit card, received a nifty bag with the new iPhone inside, and moved on away from the sales area, pausing at a table where they had the new iPhones displayed. That was the first time I'd actually seen what I had just purchased. I picked up one of the display models, held it, thought, "oh, this is neat looking!" and then went on home with my newly-purchased iPhone.
It really was not until after I'd done the switch from my old carrier to AT&T and until I'd done the synching in my computer with iTunes and the new iPhone that the possibilities really began to hit home for me. All of a sudden I was able to sync my new iPhone with the two Macs I had at that time, all of a sudden I didn't have to spend a lot of time tediously inputting contacts' phone numbers into the new device, all of a sudden I could easily go online with this little thing.....the realization dawned that from this time on I would pretty much have a computer in my pocket. Wow.
Nothing, but nothing, can ever, ever beat that. That first iPhone turned the world on its head and those of us who were around for that are still savoring our memories of that time.......
