    I'm Korean. Excuse my noob English.
    14 years ago, I was a high school student. Back then, Korea was in a transition period from feature phones to smartphones.
    One day, my classmate brought an iPhone 4, and I still remember the shock I had then.
    It was the first time I've seen a 'smartphone' in my life and I was really surprised by the soft touchscreen...
    iPhone 4 is the pinnacle of smartphone design. It established the design of the smartphone, and I think the product released later is a derivative of the iPhone 4.
    It represents the essence of compact, practical and perfect minimalism.

    Nice video Greg 👍. In the first years of the iPhone jailbreak was pretty big. I remember having the option to record video with sound before the option was available. I still have videos from that time. I also remember being able to drive to work with the phone on the passenger seat and me saying “play x” an it would open Spotify and start playing the music out of the cars speakers. I think this was around 2010. When the 4 or 4s came I was in line to buy it just pass midnight, an early premiere. I was the last one in line, customer 49. I paid about $100 and they would send me the contact and sim for a 6 month period. The first thing I did when I got home around 1am was to jailbreak the device so I could unlock it from the cellular network. After I inserted the SIM card from my other phone and I could use it on different network straight away. For some unknown reason I never received the contract so it costed me about $100 😀

    Some of my personal observations - the OG iPhone was soo cool that whenever I took it out in public, people actually came up to me and asked about the phone
    - I queued for the first time for iPhone 3G which was soo in demand that it sold out like hot cakes
    - Siri was soo cool on 4S, everyone wanted her to open the pod bay doors. Sadly that was the last phone from Steve Job and many dedicated calling it iPhone 4 Steve (iPhone4S)
    - Apple Pay was soo cool that first time I used in Marks & Spencer, the store lady called her colleagues so they can watch as well
    - iPhone 6 was soo slim and light that it legit felt like a case, the very first time you held it!
    - iPhone X with it all screen design and awesome FaceID really felt like it was from the future

    What fun this video is! I do remember when the iPhone 10 came out with the $1,000 price tag, thinking, "Who would ever spend that much for a phone?" Four years later when the 14 Pro arrived with the new 48 Megapixel camera sensor, I bought it complete with Apple Care and 1TB of storage. It's cost with tax was over $1,800. And to beat it all, a week ago I acquired a 16 Pro Max. I just looked at the invoice, and out-the- door it came to $1,983.93. Hmmm, I who wouldn't even think of spending even a thousand dollars for a phone.

    The purpose of an iPhone mini (12 and 13) was never to meet consumer demand for a smaller form-factor. Apple knew that market is small enough to be neglected (much like every other major smartphone maker), but they were smart enough to realize iPhone mini’s long term potential in up-selling bigger iPhones to their customers and get them to pay more for the long term. For the same price as an iPhone 11 ($700), you got an iPhone 12 mini. If you want the same form-factor as before, you had to fork out an additional $100 to upgrade for more or less same features. They took the operational hit that came with the mini, but received record profits thanks to everyone paying more for the same iPhone form-factor. Once their customers got used to paying $800 for the base iPhone, they killed off the mini. They used similar strategy to create an additional $100 gap between the two iPad Pros, and did it again last year for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max by making the “base” storage for Pro Max as 256gb. People say Apple is so longer innovative. I say they’re just as innovative as before, just that their priorities have changed. Lagging behind in the field of AI is just the start. Kinda like for other phonemakers back in 2007.

    My first iPhone was the 4S and then switched back to Android. Then in March 2019 I was issued a 7+ and was ripping on my coworker about his X the entire notch and the no home button. He kept saying how nice the lack of a home button was and you get used to the notch. Well in 2020 I upgraded to an XR and saw what he meant, meanwhile I had my trustee Android for personal uses. Fast Forward to 11/2021 and I learned my friends all switched from Android to iPhone and I had a S21+ at the time and we had a group chat so I used my XR for personal use and I really started to use iOS and fall in love with it. 12/2021 I finally traded in my less than a year old S21+ for an iPhone 13PM, and in early 2022 work gave me a 12. I love iPhone everything works, I can transfer between my work and personal phone, face it the 13PM camera beats the 12 and hot spotting iOS to iOS is easy.
    It’s now 9/30/2024, I have a 14PM and am eyeballing the 16P (non max) for when I can upgrade. I do not see myself switching back to Android. iPhone just works, and when I use my iPad on the go the hotspot is easy to use and iCloud syncs all my data without missing a beat.

    iPhone 5s was my all-time favourite iPhone. Maybe it was because it was my first iPhone after switching from androids, but it just felt so special. I upgraded to the 7 a few years later but didn't like the rounded design as much as the squared edges of the 5, always wished they would make a new one until they brought out the 12. Was so excited to see them go back to the boxy design, instantly bought the 12 Pro at release and now just got myself the 16 Pro since it was getting a little worn out. The actual upgrades are one thing, but the design is still what does it for me, since the 12 they remind me of the trusty and beautiful little 5s I fell in love with 10 years ago.

    The Camera Control button is, in my opinion, the worst new feature this year. It is terribly fiddly and awkward to use. It seems totally superfluous and unnecessary. And the biggest downside? It actually *slows* down your picture-taking task! It's much faster just to use the on-screen controls.
    This button was ill-conceived. Instead of *removing* buttons from the iPhone, Apple decided to *add* new buttons such as the Action button and the Camera Control button. Steve Jobs must be spinning in his grave like a lathe.

    My first iPhone was the 3G and it was fantastic. I got the white because black was sold out. Then I had an insurance replacement unit a year later and it was black. So I had both colours.
    I moved overseas for a year and a half and came back to the UK, and the first thing I did was get the 4S.
    The 4S was a beautiful phone. Especially in black with the silver rails. I think it's possibly their best design. It was very elegant, even if tiny compared to today's device sizes

    It’s nice to be reminded what changes came when. You tend to forget things after 17 years. I’ve owned every model except the C, R SE and Mini. But we were forced by Verizon to skip the 14 when they changed their device payment programs to 36 months from 24 making us wait 18 months instead of 12 to upgrade when it was half paid off. By the time we were at 18 months the 15 had just came out and made no sense to get the 14 and I’m still pissed about it because I really wanted the purple Pro Max. It’s still going to happen but we’ve decided to pay off the remaining few months early so we can still upgrade every year! Thanks Verizon!

      Yeah but it kinda missed the point. (1) It doesn't credit Apple for bringing on the era of waterproof mobile phones. Remember when you destroyed that phone by dropping it in water? Those days are gone because we finally lost our wires and chains of slavery to wired headphones. A year or two later everyone copied Apple on this, yet to this day everyone looks back at JackGate as if it's a black mark on Apple's record. (2) Apple got so much flack for the change to Lightning Port that it calmed down the angry critics by committing to 10 years of Lightning. The result? Angry critics moaning about NOT switching to USB-C. Sometimes no matter what you do, someone will bitch and moan and turn it into an evil conspiracy about you. With that said, I'm glad we're finally almost in the age of USB-C. Here's looking at YOU, magic keyboard and magic trackpad.

Apple never committed to ten years of Lightning, they simply said "A modern connector for the next decade". There was no guarantee it would be around for a decade, just that it was far more future-proof than the 30-pin had become. They were almost too eager to put USB-C in the mac, and that completely changes the transition compared to the 30-pin, as people would have their mac cables already, whereas the iPhone was the first device to receive Lightning. So no, there was no reason they needed to keep Lightning for 11 years.

      Apple just has a different philosophy: sacrifice the inferior lesser used things to make the more frequently used better things, even better.
      Let's break it down for you. You got two kinds of listeners. Wired and wireless.
      1. WIRED. It's worse in every way except lossless sound quality, but this requires a high quality EXTERNAL DAC separated from the electromagnetic noise in the environment inside a mobile computing device. So, give them a simple dongle high quality 24 bit DAC away from that noise, make it better than any internal DAC, and make it cheap.
      1. WIRELESS. Most people prefer the convenience of wireless bluetooth and can barely hear the difference with lossy. Get rid of the headphone jack, internal DAC/AMP, free up space and battery suckers, and release a best in class wireless ecosystem through AirPods.
      EVERYONE classy is a winner. The sacrifice is the poor sheep who used wired listening while still wanting cheap inferior quality.
      And Apple was able to do it by catering to a higher level of clientele. Sacrifice the bad to improve the even better. And now you see how they have been a success story. They think different.

      @@Äpple-pie-5k That wasn't what you were arguing before. Also, a wired connection does have the upside of reliability (No batteries or connection drops) and lower cost, which a number of people still value. At the end of the day, the point was Apple was very quick to remove the headphone jack, but slow to remove Lightning. Your argument of not wanting to repeat the flack from switching to Lightning kinda misses the fact that Lightning was proprietary, whereas USB-C is a widely used standard. And if Apple is so concerned about convenience and constantly making the internals better, why did they stick so long with a less-used, USB 2.0, proprietary plug (Lightning), than putting the same Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port they had in Macs and iPads (and is in so many other products) in the iPhone, back in the mid-late 2010s when they did on the ipads and macs?

      @@CMurdoch-n3t It is indeed what I've always argued, and don't fluster up the takeaway. Dumb people criticizing Apple for the double genius magnum opus of brilliance in removing the headphone jack.
      What you are saying about the advantages of wired connections proves you have read, learned, and know nothing. Apple didn't get rid of wired connections. They got rid of the dumpster dung fire in audio quality known as the internalized DAC-to-AMP-to-headphone jack circuit. Go to any audiophile site to learn why headphone jacks in any kind of iDevice are a pile of burning dung. For $9 Apple provided a first class 24 bit external DAC for superlative wired audio quality. Giving wired listeners a tour de force that absolutely stomps the 💩 out of your cheap headphone jack.
      AT THE SAME TIME they innovated a superior solution for convenient wireless listening, taking it from the lower levels of crap to a level of quality that even audiophiles begrudgingly admit is quite acceptable. Perhaps you don't understand what that means, but prior to this courageous move, almost all audio listening from phones was scored as a 1 out of 10 on audiophile connoisseur scoring. Apple brought wired up to 8.5/10 for those with proper headphones, and wireless up to 7.5/10. In one fell swoop, revolutionizing wired AND wireless audio quality.
      Your arguments of yeah but what about cheapie stuff? Sir, there's an Android for that.
      Let's finish your education on audio quality before we proceed to your education on USB. Lesson for the quiz on Monday:
      Taking 1 out of 10 score in wired and wireless listening up to near audiophile quality in one bold move, while leaving the 1/10 experience to other manufacturers, was a move of bold genius and marketing brilliance. Ball's in your court.

Now the memory is more than good enough and it’ll be the same amount I’m planning to get for future iPhones I get as well.

The i7 is a line of products, you can't just say its faster than i7, saying "it's faster than an i7-4790k" might be accurate, but just saying i7 would imply it's faster than an i7-12700k as well, which it simply isn't.

The only areas where an M series chip would outperform a top-of-the-line intel chip is in power efficiency and integrated graphics, the latter of which is kinda redundant if you have a GPU.
      Quick edit as I did unfairly leave out the M4 there, woops. The M4 does marginally outperform the i9-14900k in single core benchmarks, but is nowhere close to the performance of the i9-14900K in multicore tasks.
