As revolutionary as it was at the time and in hindsight, we forget just how much the original IPhone didn't do- no Appstore, no MMS, Only AT&T, no 3G etc. Basically it was a Sexy Brick
It was fairly behind in features even compared to the phones we now know as feature phone. I see so many people say that the iPhone *immediately* ended the keypad-era of phone, but that isn't at all how I remember it happening. It took a good few years before what is now the standard style of phones to really take off.
It was actually at Cingular only for the first two iPhones and then AT&T took over. I was working as a sales rep in a Cingular store in the US when the first iPhone came out. I made 3 months' commission in one week. And it stayed steady for six months. We were in a very rural area. All the big city stores were running out of stock. So, we got people driving hours to come to our tiny store in the sticks because we had iPhones. And I had a side business jail breaking iPhones for people in my apartment. It was awesome. When we got gobbled up by AT&T and the iPhone exclusivity contract ran out, it was awful. AT&T was also shutting down their analog phones around that time. So, we had to deal with grandpa bringing in his bag phone and grandma bringing in her analog Nokia for a flip phone and they _hated_ it. So, we made a ton of money for about three years but then we paid for it dearly. People were _so mad_ about having to give up their bricks.
Fun Fact, most people praise the technology of the iPhone but it was more than that. Before the iPhone was launched all mobile phone manufacturers were at the mercy of the phone carriers, even Blackberry! The phone carriers were very restrictive with what they wanted on their network and what featues they allowed on the phones and so many phone manufacterures hands were tired, this is where the real smarts came in when they contacted Cingular they made a deal with CIngular so they could work on the iPhone without most of the restrictions they placed on mobile phones at the times in exchange for excusivity and some revenue sharing. It worked really well and then AT&T bought Cingular! Even the Blackberry execs watching the iPhone launch knew something was up, they were never given the option to make a proper browser on their Blackberry devices because of the carrier restrictions and here is Apple's new product having an almost fully functional browser on a phone!

The fact that they need to lock away a feature of their phone just to sell their headphones speaks a lot of the quality of said headphones. Their main selling point is convenience, not their sound quality! I'm sure even the filthiest of casuals could spot the laughable difference between my $10 wired earbuds and some AirPods. And picture this, you take them out of your pocket, you plug the wire in and you put them in your ears. Sounds quite convenient to me.
I ended up using one of these as an iPod Touch for a few years and it was a solid nugget for me! Only reason I upgraded at the time was when the power/lock button got forced into the chassis on a hike and I couldn't turn it on or anything. I ended up getting my dad's old iPhone 3GS with no SIM after he got a 4S that I ended up jailbreaking and put my SIM into when I wasn't supposed to. Nearly got busted when I got a phone call in the car on the way to a family friend's house and only got away with it because I said "oh it was a Skype call and we just drove by a place I used wifi from." Think a few months after that I got my first proper smartphone in a Smasnug Galaxy S4 for Christmas 2013 and haven't had an Apple product since. But the days of having a Nano, then an OG iPhone and finally a 3GS were awesome.
I have 4 old hand-me-down iphones (ver. 5 to 8) & had the same probs with them being bricked via restart/update.Too much hassle for me, I'm sticking with the phones I can update or reset to pass down with no worries!
Oh man, when that thing came out, it was one of my last memories being THAT excited. Never been so excited after the iPhone and iPad their first release.
The tech fun developments these past years really have been the handheld pc and processors, phones and consoles already gave all they had it seems for the time
Old devices don't like the combined 2.4+5ghz wifi or the modern security, most routers will have a separate guest network you can turn on, make it 2.4ghz only and no password(or password with WEP if you want to protect it) and old tech should connect.
Dirty secret: Manufacturers have been using each others' components _forever._ Because someone is always a domain expert in some tech, and it makes zero sense to reinvent the wheel. At least until you know for certain you can do it better and/or cheaper. This is just reality in manufacturing.
friendly hello from a friend in the states, keep up the great content mate, I just bought myself a 3rd gen 20GB iPod from a yard sale for a whole $5, I'll be watching your iPod modding vids to upgrade the battery and convert to flash storage. hard to believe a 20 year old device is still chugging, glad I have my own little nugget now.
Oh man, Friday Morning Dankpods, and it's an iPhone to boot! This feels oddly nostalgic in a way, and what a video about the OG iPhone too! It was definitely a game-changer when it came out, just that at the time, it wasn't even expected to be THAT huge of a game changer.
Thanks mate for showing the old Software , always get flashbacks of the Sound whne u like put it to Charge and See the cool battery mate wish i could just go back to it on my old ipod
Wow, the enshittification is so real. Hilarious that your phone can be bricked just because Apple decides "Nah m8 you can't have that, get a new one. See? We broke it for you. Guess you gotta get a new one."
Actually since the 3G network went down, Americans can no longer make calls on any iPhone before the 6 because all prior phones required the 3g network for calling (besides the 2g probably but you get the idea)
3:32 my first android experience was with the HTC G1. I loved that thing. Though getting used to typing with your left thumb hanging over the bottom part was something.
Yeah, the apple server for activating these is gone, same thing for my 1g touch. Although you can restore it to original 1.0 firmware with 3rd party tools (yes, it can be downgraded without shady tricks, even with iTunes if you have a signed ipsw)
From the USA's best sellers, that last one was one note because people wanted it or because it looked cool but that was one of the phones that Nextel used their system on, I remember that my uncle had one of those as a work phone in 2008

4:36 brungus? reference to bringus studios?
I mean, they have met, soooo...
BRO
@@mem_arg3691 they have?
Thanks for keeping the bricked iPhone ending in there. Had a crap day and it made me smile.
I spotted Franz Ferdinand on your iMac there. My favourite band and they just announced a new album.
The sim doesn’t have to be active. If you have any old gsm big chungus SIM cards sitting around, it should help you get passed that activation screen.
Try it for yourself. You will find yourself VERY surprised. Apple is dead ^×^
1:00 GORILLAZ MENTIONED
Gorillaz
What a prefect video to wake up from anesthesia to. Hell ya thank you!!
Man... you party _hard._
It’s all been leading up to this
Old devices don't like the combined 2.4+5ghz wifi or the modern security, most routers will have a separate guest network you can turn on, make it 2.4ghz only and no password(or password with WEP if you want to protect it) and old tech should connect.
2:23 and modern iPhones use Samsung glass.
They use Corning glass. The screen component that Samsung makes is the OLED itself, which is why it's so good lol.
Dirty secret: Manufacturers have been using each others' components _forever._ Because someone is always a domain expert in some tech, and it makes zero sense to reinvent the wheel. At least until you know for certain you can do it better and/or cheaper.
This is just reality in manufacturing.
0:42 - Naaaaaaah mate, it goes all the way down to uncle Palm and the rest of the gang.
If the camera didn’t open it’s prolly bc it was broken I had a similar thing happen to me in an old iPhone
friendly hello from a friend in the states, keep up the great content mate, I just bought myself a 3rd gen 20GB iPod from a yard sale for a whole $5, I'll be watching your iPod modding vids to upgrade the battery and convert to flash storage. hard to believe a 20 year old device is still chugging, glad I have my own little nugget now.
We need a craig video pls
the frank background was incredible
Oh and Btw the iPhone 4GB is REALLY RARE!!! Especially in such pristine condition
Apple did invent ‘slide to unlock’. Freddy Anzures first got the idea while traveling on an airplane.
8:12 I am so proud to own the worst iPhone currently sold: SE 3 which is what I am watching this on
Currently sold is the Key word (I think I’m on that one too could be the se 2 actually)
The best worst iPhone :)
(watching on an SE 2, planning to upgrade to the 3)
I like how I immediately knew something would go wrong from updating it
That just made me think of Michael MJD's "I [did something], But It Goes Wrong" series. He did some with iPhones.
Oh man I haven’t seen hello this is dog in forever
Even the flash is bigger than the iPhone 1s camera 😂😂😂
Now I'm hangry for sausage rolls!! 😋
Can't believe Wade trusted Apple with that update.
god i wonder what it feels like to be constipated as a snake 10:37
Man, hearing the tone of your voice when talking about baby Frank just gave me all the feels
8:50
NO THIS IS A MISTAKE
this can be fixed fairly easily
Now that apple is trying to do what the Samsung beans did and do ANC with no seal I wanna know what the yelling Aussie man thinks of their attempt

Damn, memes really have gone down hill, haven't they? 😂 I thought I was crazy

So nostalgic seeing this! Remember how magical pinch to zoom felt.
I really hope your sausage roll business works out mate 👍🏻🙏🏻
0:44 excuse me the what
The Prada phone
Known by LG Prada, I remember seeing a few of those
Oh man, Friday Morning Dankpods, and it's an iPhone to boot!
This feels oddly nostalgic in a way, and what a video about the OG iPhone too! It was definitely a game-changer when it came out, just that at the time, it wasn't even expected to be THAT huge of a game changer.
6:29 FRANZ FERDINAND??!?!?🗣️🔥💯
@@mauxd3330 The hype about the new album is real
Today we learned a valuable lesson about not updating jailbroken devices
THE DINGUS HAS UPLOADED
Thanks mate for showing the old Software , always get flashbacks of the Sound whne u like put it to Charge and See the cool battery mate wish i could just go back to it on my old ipod
Wow, the enshittification is so real. Hilarious that your phone can be bricked just because Apple decides "Nah m8 you can't have that, get a new one. See? We broke it for you. Guess you gotta get a new one."
This was normal for phones back then to requirea sim. He didnt need it before because of thejailbreak
It didn’t brick. It can jailbroken but he undid it when he plugged it into iTunes.
@@robotman5105 Oh that's fairer ig
Modern tech companies have a rapist mentality. "Oh you wanted a choice? Nah, get fucked."
Actually since the 3G network went down, Americans can no longer make calls on any iPhone before the 6 because all prior phones required the 3g network for calling (besides the 2g probably but you get the idea)
0:50 Apple would rather you say "This is first ever iPhone"
Wowzers. An iPhone that looks somewhat useful
The irony of me getting an iPhone 16 pro ad right before this video hahahaha
i likey
@@johnzoid74 yes
3:32 my first android experience was with the HTC G1. I loved that thing. Though getting used to typing with your left thumb hanging over the bottom part was something.
Yeah, the apple server for activating these is gone, same thing for my 1g touch. Although you can restore it to original 1.0 firmware with 3rd party tools (yes, it can be downgraded without shady tricks, even with iTunes if you have a signed ipsw)
Still activates just fine on my og iPhone, just needs an at&t SIM, I got one off eBay years ago, still works fine
damn that 6288 brought me back! nothing beats the slide!
WHAT THE ?!!💀💀💀 6:50
The struggle is real
What? Haven't you seen a penis potato? These are common mate.
This exudes the vibes of OG dankpods videos and Im all here for it.
0:12 oh hey look its my exact model of phone, Amber Yellow Galaxy S24
My condolences.
@@gentle285 atleast its better than an apple phone.. still nowhere as good as a Sony Xperia, but the S24 is still nice.
@@warmoaran3 Yep, I can't stand iOS.
From the USA's best sellers, that last one was one note because people wanted it or because it looked cool but that was one of the phones that Nextel used their system on, I remember that my uncle had one of those as a work phone in 2008
Yayyyy... Manky old Crapple products.
And Scamsung and iPhoney 😂
@@CamcorderHomeVideos Ah the diarrhea duo.
Thanks for making this video finally DankPods! I love te first iPhone, and I'm so glad you made a video on it! I've been a viewer since 2021 and I love to watch your content! Keep up the good work, Wade! :-)
insane to think it went from this level of revolutionary in the smart phone market, to just here ai and new hardware only to benefit ai
Are we already not impressed with the major advancements in artificial intelligence?
@@Shepard_AUai isnt good, yes we have improved it, but that makes it worse. the world is already too focused on it and it can only get worse. apple intelligence is their way of putting it everywhere
