iPhone 1st Birthday
Written by Kevin Fordham
Yesterday was the iPhone’s first birthday and I forgot to write about it! Well I didn’t forget, just didn’t have time…but that’s beside the point. On June 29th, 2008, the iPhone turned the big 01. It seems like so long ago that I was unboxing the iPhone that Friday night. The excitement I had that Friday night was something I don’t think I’ve ever experienced with a gadget before.
The iPhone has gone through a lot in its first year:
- It was Jailbroken
- It was Unlocked
- It dropped significantly in price
- Websites across the internet adopted special iPhone only views
- The Google Maps application became location aware
- It both shrank and got bigger (No more 4GB and a new 16GB)
- It traveled across the pond
- iTunes Wi-fi was delivered
- It became an iBrick for some
- It had “Compatibility and stability updates”
- It witnessed the announcement of a new family member
Happy late birthday iPhone!
