No, I read that Apple officially made the original iPhone "obsolete" in June 2013. They will no longer service them or anything. It's a bit sad
can you please guide me to the source of this information ?

Just as an FYI, but there are plenty of repair places that still do batteries (even better ones) for the 2G.
I had a place here in Scottsdale do the battery on the one we let my 2 year old have (before we got him the iPT5G he has now), and it lasted almost as long as my 5. Now it just sits in my drawer waiting for my daughter that just turned 1 to show some interest.
Plus it's cool to play with every now and then to remember how far ahead of it's time it was (my wife even used it as a daily cell before we got her 4S last year... still plenty usable frankly).
Man just there's something about that original iPhone. Such a great device. Although I've owned each model, the iPhone 4 is the only other revision that came close to having that "special something" for me.
Man the 4/4S was near perfection when it comes to smartphone design. I thought I would never give up my old iPhone 3G but I just had to have the 4 when I saw Steve present it.
nice collection....!!
I've owned every iPhone that ever came except the 4S...but the original has a special feeling...it was way ahead of time
Must say, I'm impressed, yet you are missing two iPhones from the line up. In terms of style, you have all 4.
After 7 agonising days in customs....my iPhone 1st gen finally cleared for dispatch....hopefully I'll get it by tomm or day after
New iPhone 1st Generation - 16 GB ....nice to have it back....I had bought a 8 GB model in 2008 which I sold when the screen went bad and had to replace it with a 3G model.
now proudly sitting on my desk along with my iPhone 5

Interesting comparisons seeing them all together. For some reason I still like the iphone 4S size/shape and of course, weight
4 was my first iphone. i never looked back.
thanks, plan is to get the S model of every form factor. Original (No S model), 3GS, 4S, next one is 5S.

4/4S was PERFECT on its time. i feel like 5 is the evolution of the brick shape. just like orginal/3G/3GS are round, 4/4S/5/5S are brick... 6 will be a completely new form factor.
that was the reason i got 1 also
there are a lot of sellers selling a new iPhone 2g at a reasonable price...try your luck
10 days on standby when still turned on..... I am sure it will last longer when completely shut off.

It still drains.
I don't think it's really a proper judgement on a phone's battery to use it and then turn it off, and be surprised a month later when it's dead.
Haha, this thread made me picture some old forgotten cabin somewhere where the poor "staff" of three employees, bored to death, keep having to build iPhone 1's.
It still drains, but the 10 day figure is produced by it being turned on, but locked/screen off.
