Life Before The iPhone 

Logan Johnson it used a stylus. Didnt really change the game.

Confused it with DS Lite I guess

@@jimmyboy1582 Lg prada was the first capacitive touchscreen smartphone but iphone had better os.

Logan Johnson He might have been thinking of the DS Lite. Either way, the DS was released in 2004.

It feels like history to me. I was actually alive when it came out, which feels strange. It's like it's always existed.

Life wasn’t simpler it just seemed simpler because you were younger.

A *BIT* simpler I see

id hardly call carrying around a pda, flip phone and mp3 player simple

@@FMeister94 I know right having a 2 megapixel camera and a 100ppi display is so fun

@@mooncycle69😂😂 I remember my dads Samsung note 4 breaking down in 2 weeks it was so fun!!!!

I am 39, and fall into the “Xennial” generation, which is a micro generation made up of being closer to generation X but falls into the Millennial group, and so video games, TVs, portable technology, cameras etc were all rapidly evolving as I was growing up. As a result, I took to new technologies naturally and now at 39, I’m using an iPhone 12 and have enjoyed seeing how far technology has come just since I was a kid. I’m just young enough to have had an analog childhood, but also barely old enough to remember the birth and advent of the internet and the coming of the digital age. It’s been a crazy ride watching it all evolve to where it has today.

Humans always fight the only thing that changes is over what. And u can take that to the bank kid. Back then ppl would fight over Blackberry and Nokia same shit just different pile thats all...

TheReal _ist yeah I know people always fighting each other and I know about blackberry and Nokia stuff but it wasn’t intense like this it just like they claiming each other shit, the argument is kinda different than today. Today is like they will start a WW3

Nokia or sony

Achmad Putra fandroid sucks

Marco Raap Idk

The same can be said about video games. There's still space for handheld gaming consoles for me, and I take my Nintendo Switch with me when on the go. But for people who aren't into video games, a smartphone is good enough.

Nothing will ever beat an actual camera for pro photographers, that’s for sure. I still want to get myself a DSLR at some point 👍🏻

and who gives a duck about your life?

@@leart78 You chose to read it wuss

Yep, my first iPhone was also the 4S, I was in my late 20s. I specifically remember watching a Kings of Leon live performance on RU-vid over WiFi, and distinctly remember how sharp the video resolution was compared to my buddy’s 3GS!

boomer chat, before online school

PAW Team oh god, we only needed weekly charges

Well if you don’t like to charge your phone every day, buy a 2006 nokia, but you don’t like a phone that only work for make call neither, right, so you are just being stupid for no reason.

Dude STFU. It lasts all day that’s enough. You wanna bitch? Then always get the large models. I’ve never had issues with battery. Got 19999 problems but my battery ain’t one

PAW Team why don't you buy a phone released before the iPhone then?

No way

If anything, prosumers and professionals still going to use cameras and workstations or laptops. Also a lot of people prefer keyboards to type and bemoans the fact that all laptops come with Apple-inspired keyboards which they don't like.

Perfectly said. Agree with this 100%. The gaming community also relies on configurable, upgradable and Windows/Linux based machines to do their thing. Modularity and upgradability is a large aspect of why traditional computers still exist. Nobody ever stops to think why we still use bulky DSLR cameras which design-wise have remained largely unchanged for almost half a century as a golden standard in photography.

Plus, while the iPad Pro may be more powerful than many Macbooks, the fact that it's running iOS is a huge handicap. While I definitely don't mind traveling with my iPad for vacation, I can't see myself being able to write papers the way I do on a laptop (ie quickly switching between Word and a browser window for one of my sources to refer back to, printing out assignments for professors who still request hard copies, etc.). I'd also argue that not only is the Surface a thorn in the iPad Pro's side, the fact that it's not limited by a mobile OS really makes it the preferable option for people looking for a true laptop replacement.

So basically, people are too lazy to adapt to something new.

frauleinfunf, apple.com/feedback/ipad.html Gotta mention that iOS is limiting iPad capabilities. Apple reads all your feedback but may not respond to you personally.

Now it have 1M+ sub

Now he does:)

yup. nokia already had amazing camera phones with zeiss glass. i remember drooling over the N70.

Yea but the software was crappy. Before the iPhone no one considered any phone a camera replacement. This changed with the 2nd and 3rd generation iPhone.

The iPhone camera was mostly rubbish until about the 4S. People were more likely using iPhone cameras out of convenience rather than to take a decent photo prior to that. Point and Shoot Cameras were still very much a better quality device for taking photos around the early iPhone era.

I still don't have my apple pencil, and probably won't buy the smart keyboard (it's too dang expensive), but even the touch keyboard is pretty good, I've already done a few assignments on it, it works without a problem.

Naufal Fatihussalam you mean phones littered with ugly physical buttons and confusing convoluted software then yes, that was life before Iphone. No one can honestly say that the handset market was better pre 2007, those so called “smart” phones were a hot mess.

You mean when phones were clunky and limited? STFU!!

Naufal Fatihussalam I do think phones were more distinct from one another. That was interesting.

asiandoestech nah Nokia was like the Samsung. Stronger than iPhone and only valuable competition. BlackBerry was like the Huawei back then

Yappers u would only be 7 when the iPhone came out though

No you don’t

Only rich boys had the iPhone back in the 2000s. I was born in 2003 and I remember my first phone, (2013) was a Kyocera flip phone.

Brandon Vg only rich boys get phones when they’re 10.

You’re so young! I’m almost 40 and got to watch technology rapidly evolve throughout the 90s and 2000s.

Yeah pretty much. The original developers of Android went on record saying that after watching the original iPhone presentation, they knew that Android in its then-current form was dead on arrival as it was designed to be a Blackberry competitor.

@@suzanne318 Not Steve, Tim

Preston Thugman lol 😂 yeah bbm was the shit back then though lol

Blackberry let a good thing fall apart when they INSISTED that only business people would use "smart" phones and they didn't need to cater to the general public and their penchant for phones that could play games or do un-business stuff.

briansivley2001 it's only 6.1" you wouldn't notice any major difference in size

Get a popsocket on the Xs Max and you'll be fine. Big phones aren't meant for all people for me I only use them because I want the biggest display i can get. Also I have pretty large hands so its fine. But with a popsocket on the back I can then reach everything with ease. Ya it sucks some people need to do this but if Apple and other companies never pushed the screen size limit than we'd never be where we are today. Those kickstarter buyers gave us the future we have now. So i see as it a necessary evil for innovation. Also ya the Xs Max is expensive no crap. But if u pay for it monthly like 99% of all iPhone buyers do through your carrier. Then you won't care, since its stretched out over 2 yrs. Best get the best u can get now then get a low tier item that won't last as long. Common sense really. Anyhow best of luck in your decision.

Personally id go with a Samsung Galaxy s9 or s9+. That's my personal opinion as its more customisable and flexible, it does everything the iPhone xs, xs max does and more, The cameras are on a fairly equal footing (iPhone slightly better camera.) But all round I still would choose the Galaxy and I have both the s9+ and xs max. my personal opinion I must stress.

Xr is worthless

@@scottishadonis I already have the S9. I have been having nothing but problems with it and Android recently so I'm going to be getting the iPhone XS. I'm also getting it because iOS has some games that I really want and some if not all Android games have versions of them on iOS so I'm not losing much besides the headphone jack and carrier billing which I can get used to have without. And besides there is a lot of things that I want to do in the outside world and having carrier billing is too tempting for me to resist. Like for example I have been literally trying to do a trip on The South Shore Line from Chicago Millennium Station to South Bend Airport and back but every month I find out that I don't have enough money to do it. So if I can get rid of something that is tempting me and I can do the trip I'll be more happy. Because I have literally been trying to do this particular trip since April of 2013 but among other things like health issues in my family which I have to put my things aside for family because family always come first before fun. But now I have had enough of delaying this trip and I intend to do it before the end of the year hopefully if not before the end of January if nothing else that I don't see coming happens.

Which will cost 10x more then windows

And be 10X better. I tend to live on my iPad. I can do a good 90% of what I normally do on any of my 3PCs with it.

That comment aged like milk

Hop it did 😂 I still think that bigger smartphones have taken on much of the occasional browsing market and on-the-go content consumption but iPads are now shifting towards being more productivity machines so are basically in a whole new product segment.

Disagree, there are many digital artists that beg to differ. Being able to use Procreate on an iPad and not be tethered to a dedicated pc rig is an absolute game changer and just for that alone. Plenty of other creative avenues different than business professionals that find tablets useful

Wow, can you get anymore pretentious. It was a real thing and a beautiful thing, want to know why? Cause people werent spending outrageous amounts of money on phones, people didnt bend their necks as much and stayed in their phone screen, developed good fucking social skills by actual interaction with people due to limited social media, etc. So yeah, life was good before the iphone prick.
