Other Who Started Small in the World of iPhone?

[ElPaso]

My first iPhone was purchased in the springtime of 2017, an iPhone SE after I wrecked a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I knew that the SE was the humblest of iDevices at the time, but in the 18 months I used it I realized that Apple was something special. That little phone was quite a step up from the Android quagmire. Eventually I moved on to an iPhone 8+ for 4 years, followed by a 13.

I'm curious who else started their Apple experience with what would be considered a "humble" model? I tell ya, I was so impressed with the SE that I was not hesitant to get a new 16e a couple of months ago. Anybody else start off small?

My first iPhone was an iPhone 5s.

Like the iPhone SE 1st generation form factor.

I never upgraded to any pro max or plus iPhones, nor wore an Apple Watch Ultra due to the fact it’s too big, and ultras are a brick 🧱 on my wrist.

I started out with the 4S, what a great phone and nice form factor. However I didn't care much for the proprietary 30 pin interface. I had a Sony speaker dock in 30 pin and it sounded great, so when I sold the 4S I let the sound dock go with it as I was upgrading to an iPhone 6 (lightening) Loved the 6 super light weight and just a great phone. After numerous upgrades over the years I now have the 17 Pro, honestly I wanted the standard 17 but it was unavailable when I did my upgrade from the 13Pro. Should have waited a couple more weeks but my girlfriend talked me into the pro, she bought the 17 Pro Max.

I started with the first gen iPod Touch so I was already familiar with iOS when I got my first iPhone, a 4S. That was when Apple stopped going crazy with exclusivity agreements and was the first model available from my provider.
