Same for me! 3GS was my first. I still love to take it out, once in a while, and go through the screens, it feels good in my hand. Needs a new battery for it (it crashes after a few hours running) but my Apple repair center can’t get one. Thanks for reminding me.

Im getting a 3GS because I love this phone with a passion. It and the N-Gage QD share the number one spot of my favorite phones ever xD. And yes... I might even use this sometimes not just for traveling. Who knows what crazy stuff still works with it :P

I've only ever had to use an iPhone because the battery of my galaxy s4 mini was broken. The iPhone I used was an 8gb iPhone 4. I used it for one day and was happy to go back to my galaxy when I got a new battery.

I got the 3gs as my first iphone when I just entered high school.I originally intended to get a 16gb black but there’s only 32gb white ones left so I ended up getting that.The old days that 32gb was thought as overkill is kind of unreal to think about these days

I had an iPhone 3G so very similar to this one, just a little slower.

I still have mine but my original broke but got the new one but new Boot ROM version. my first iPhone was 2G, 3GS, 4S, 5S, 6S+, 8+ currently had them all on 2-year contract then got 4, 5, 5C, 6 of eBay and friends and all jailbroken except the 3GS can't find a tool for new bootrom at mo and 6 as it is on 12.0.

When you say anything about Siri my phone responds with Siri opening

My first iPhone was the iPhone 4 black 32gb. I still have the original box it came in and it still works only sucky part is its on 7.1.2, I wish I never updated it to ios 7 lol. I jailbroke the crap out of it with redsn0w back then. My favorite tweak was the unlock sounds where I could have it play a lightsaber sound when I unlocked it. Good times.

That 3.5 inches is still pretty satisfying, especially with that “big bulky black rubber back”. I never had any issues. Always satisfied.... if you know that I mean.

my first phone was an Envy2 and my second ever phone was a smartphone & it was iPhone 4s.

I used to using it in back 2016 but my dad bought on Lunch day

[markneedleman]

I’ve had every iPhone since the original in 2007

My first iPhone was the 3GS!! I loved it until I smashed it in a car door (accidentally) then I upgraded to the recently announced iPhone 5! Also amazing video just like always!

My first iphone was the Verizon version of the iphone 4 or 4s can’t remember I just know it was the first time Verizon got an iphone . I hated it and didn’t venture back to iOS until the iphone 7plus now I have an iPhone X
