​Hello it's me, Canoopsy. And the original iPhone also known as the iPhone 2G
or the first iPhone, was announced 9 years ago today. Happy birthday iPhone.
So, what can the original iPhone still do today?
Well, let's see if it can do the common tasks that many of us currently do on our phones.
Can it make calls and texts? Yup, as long as you're with AT&T or the phone
is jailbroken. Can you browse the Web?Yes, but it's frustratingly slow for most things.
Can you watch YouTube videos? Not with
the super amazing YouTube of yesteryear,
but you can kinda watch them with Safari. Can you check the weather?
Yes. Please don’t snow, please don’t snow please don’t snow… Can you map your trip? Yup, but there's no GPS so you have
to figure it all out beforehand. How
about Notes? Calendar? Calculator and
alarms? yes, sì, oui, 是. Can you check how low your stocks are right now? For sure.
Sadly. Can the iPhone battery last you a
full day? Well, kinda. Just don't use your phone
too much. Can you listen to some sick
Kenny G (sarcasm), or whatever else you have in your
music library? Mhmmm. Can you take pictures? Yes. But I don't think they'll win any awards or be on
Apple posters anytime soon.
Maybe if I add a filter? Nope. Also, there's no video recording. But hey, there's always stop
motion. Can you download and use apps? Well, no.
Besides video recording, the only thing
you can't do with the original iPhone, that you can
can do with almost every other phone
today, is install apps. Since. basically
all apps are made to work with iOS 7 and above. That means no Snapchat. No
watching Netflix. No Minecraft, no Spotify, no Facebook or Twitter apps or any other
apps you use daily. The original iPhone today is still a good and surprisingly fast
smartphone, but sadly without any
supported third party apps. Essentially
what makes a phone extremely usable and useful today. This is actually how the phone
was originally, before the App Store has
added, a while after its original release.
In nine years we've gotten this far. But
I think in the next nine years, is when the
iPhone and many other smartphones are
going to get really exciting Could you
live in a world without apps? Leave a comment down below with your thoughts. Like the video
