Wow the original iPhone never got MMS, even through a software update?

That's sad, considering phones from 2005-2006 already supported MMS and the original iPhone came out in 2007. What was Apple thinking?

I wouldn't mind one as a collector's item. I also have SIM adapters so I could pop my nano SIM from my iPhone 5 into it and use it if I wanted to. It would be a bit of a step down though. ;)

Who needs MMS anymore? Now we have iMessage, Whatsapp and tonnes of other messaging app.

I would love to see an retro iPhone with same form factor as the original but with retina screen and LTE. I still have an original iPhone in shrink wrap..

That's a first; everybody typically enjoys the new design (including me). The old one was flimsy, the back/corners reminded me of aluminum foil the way they would bend so easily. I feel like they've pulled through in the design department these past couple years.

I agree. If someone could figure out how to take the iPhone 4S screen and internals (I'll even settle for a 3GS) and fit them into the original iPhone body, I'd buy one. I've been searching around for this lately and haven't found anyone doing this. I miss my original iPhone.
 
i guess i do if i send a pic to someone who doesn't have an iphone. How else do you send pics? I mean, to another phone outside of e-mail?

Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger. Hardly anyone still texts where I live.
 
My uncle gave his original iPhone to his daughter 4 years ago and she's still using it. She's just 13 now but what the hell. :D
 
My 4 was over two years old and took a dump over the weekend and was unusable. Since i was out of contract, i went to Apple store to pick up a 5. None in stock, so i was thinking i'd have to activate my 2G while i waited to find a 5. Luckily it never came to that, i was able to pick one up at the Apple store Tuesday morning just by getting there early. 32GB/white
