Retro Review: Apple iPhone First-Generation on iPhone OS 1.1.1 (iPhone 2G)

The iPhone changed the course of mobile computing. But was the first iteration like what we have today? Certainly not, and Quinn of Snazzy Labs rolls back the clocks to 2007 with the original iPhone running iOS 1.1.1.

Funny thing his iPhone 4s in that video is kind of obsolete as well haha.
Time just flies by.

It's like I'm in a time machine watching it in 2024. We already have iPhone 15 and 16 coming soon

You were 19 when you created this review?? Your intellect, maturity and ability to articulate yourself is very, very impressive.

iPhone OS 1.0 WAS shipped with iPhones. I've seen videos of peoples' 2G's with 1.0, and even a video on how to downgrade from 3.1.3 to 1.0 on the 2G.

Such a good review of a historical phone. Nicely done Quinn!

Hi, I know this video is pretty old... and pretty awesome but Nokia N95, which also came out in 2007 had a front facing camera. And an awesome 5MPx Carl Zeiss camera which produced some really impressive photos.

Calling an iPhone 2G retro in 2012 is like calling an iPhone XS retro in 2024

Thanks a lot for this video ! You are really sharing your passionate view on this phone. It feels very authentic, surely because it is, and I want to thank you for that !

Anyone else watching this on an iphone 6 😂

[vamcat]

It's crazy looking at this on my iPhone 6! I had the 3GS and I barely used it for anything since I was like 9 and didn't even know how to download apps lol. I've had an iPod nano, MacBook 2009, iPad 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4s, and now an iPhone 6! Technology has gone so far I can't wait to see what'll happen in like 2024.

Not an Apple fan but I have gotta respect the history and how Apple led the way

`Watching this owning an iPhone 6s, it feels weird.

[EvanNakagawa]

So crazy looking back at this in 2015 with the 6s shipping next week. It even makes the 4s look old ahaha

IPhone 2g was my 1st phone given by brother in 2009 when I turned 9yrs old.... Thanks for bringing back the old memories :)

[rileyemel]

Looks like the iphone 2g and the iphone 7 have headphone jack problems

[AiOinc]

I still own and use my iPhone 2G, but it's on iPhone OS 3.1.3, I heavily suggest updating, I mean come on, you didn't get a legitimate app store until at least iPhone OS 2.0!

The closest you would get on that atrocity of an operating system was Installer.app from the people who eventually made the Cydia installer.

I remember the very first mobile device I had that was even more limited than this was the Compaq ipaq pocket PC that I bought for $600 back in August of 2000 which I used in my last year of highschool in 2001.

that feel when this was considered retro 8 years ago
