You mean all the change for the sake of change we’ve been hamstringed with for 6 years due to Jony’s minimalist follies?
I’d be fine with no return or stitched leather calendars or tape cassette-look podcast app but I’d love the return of UI based on time-tested principles and not Jony’s & marketing’s made-up interface methods that prioritize vague interfaces with tools/buttons hidden offscreen just to maximize a clean-sheet white-out appearance.
Even the mobile interface of macrumors keeps getting unnecessarily massaged in wrong over-minimalist directions; when editing a post, you now have to click twice to get to the edit button instead of just once. First click the cryptic three ellipses then “Edit,” noting that there is only one option underneath the Ellipses button, namely, “Edit.” So why require users to do more work for what used to be take one click? Why bury this function for a cleaner look?

these days people tend to forget just how much of a breakthrough the original iphone was.
i just tell them to re-watch the original iphone presentation and pay attention to all of the things that get a reaction from the audience.

It's funny how much has changed over the last decade in the phone land.
Meanwhile, I'm typing this on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro that besides being a bit thiccer than its newer and younger brethren, is still totally usable as a daily driver.

Any kind of folding displays?
Or do you just mean for phones/mobile devices?
In any case I sure wouldn’t be wanting to make that wager.
There are interesting use cases there that could benefit from very flexible display solutions.
Whatever it was, overall it was a better phone that what anyone else had.
It actually took ok pictures.
Youtuber? MKBHD is one of the most well known figures in tech. The title makes it sound like it's by some random off the street.
Design goes in cycles; the flat look will run its course. I doubt the pendulum will swing all the way back to 3D, glossy, drop shadows and reflections, but 5 years from now I doubt we’ll still have the same look we do now.
And I agree, a little skeuomorphism goes a long way but it doesn’t need to be completely verboten.
All vies come from a purely subjective frame of reference. Don’t be so afraid to offend.
Well yes, views are subjective, but facts are objective—and in my view, non-editorial articles should report facts only (even rumors need supporting facts behind them). They can insert the occasional opinion but it should be labelled as such because unfortunately some readers don’t know the difference.
I still have my original 8GB. It still works and still connects to the internet. Battery seems to last ok in Airplane Mode. I bring it out to play every few weeks in order to charge it up keep the electrons flowing. It’s a quaint curiosity. Fond memories of how groundbreaking it felt back in the day.
Easy to forget that even things like pinch to zoom were amazing back then, but I swear the keyboard has gotten immeasurably worse in those 12 years. Autocorrect is a calamity in iOS 13 🙄

I will never forget the experience of owning an original iPhone. From the purchase, to the setup, to being the only one in my school with it. It was all very interesting and unforgettable.
He’s well known compared to other techtubers, but in general hardly a household name in the world of tech, as far as I can tell.
But if you watch techtubers, I can’t imagine you wouldn’t know him, or that unbox therapy guy, for instance.
The mindblowing thing about the first iPhone was mostly that software. Remember seeing the keynote with keyboard/safari/maps working so well on that screen...genius.
I have an iPhone 3G, is impressive how some things aren't improved proportionally 11 years after, opening the camera is about same speed in my iPhone 11 and the 3G, of course quality has improved hugely, but SSD speeds aren't, and this makes a super 2019 6 core processor looks sometimes not so new against the super old 2008 samsung RISC II mono processor.
iPhone 3G still can do most of the most important features as the iPhone 11 can, so Apple Pay and Fails ID maybe are a super improve, but if you look objectively, tech hasn't advanced so so so much.
camera and screen quality/size are the only selling factor in smartphones, nobody cares about other specs as all look same year after year.
My 4S works as fast as the iPhone 11 for common task, Siri maybe bit slower, other things, same.

I was using the original 3G iPhone until about a year ago. My new iPhone 7 makes the same quality phone calls, but it does hook to 4G networks that the old one did not.
The iPhone camera was not good at the time. Nokias and others mopped the floor with it.
Tech has not advanced much in the last 12 years if compared to the 12 before 2007. Even if there have been some spec and camera improvements, the true innovations have already been done.

The fact that he's seen as a "tech expert" while he didn't remember a thing the products he reviews every day. Also his all around vibe was very... how do I put this.. slow minded.
