By the way, the back is cracked down the middle because of an expanding battery! Its under the motherboard, so if you dont want to have any damage on the board in the future, I'd reccomend changing it. :)
The crack at the back of the phone might be because of the battery expanding. Since it's right under the motherboard if it expands more it can break the motherboard.
I love how clean the iPhone 3G looks even if it's laggy as hell on 4.2.1. Was my first iPhone in 2018 too. I would play a Tic Tacs app and a Bubble Wrap game too.
@@Asteriskwaschosen i have a 3GS (the one in the video is a 3G) and it works fine! i have yet to connect it to my network as it's locked to AT&T but i'm on Freedom Mobile in canada! it fully works fine on iOS 6 but offically can be downgraded back to iOS 4.2!!
It's interesting for me to notice that in the first iOS versions, Apple already made the borders of the options in Settings rounded, then they expanded them to fit the width and decided to make them rounded again in iOS 15.
I had two of those. Both black. My first one was replaced by Apple after a year over a crack in the polycarbonate back. It was a great phone, but boy, the jump to the 4S was so huge. The Retina display from 3GS to 4 was probably the greatest thing they could do to the iPhone lineup.
I noticed the absence of the video capture too! By the way, I searched the serial number on Apple's website and it is indeed an iPhone 3G. (bought: July 2008)
The Earth photo on the iPhone 3GS is definitely old-school. I’ve had every iPhone since day one. And that earth photo/wallpaper was the very first thing on the very first iPhone. When you got the very first iPhone and you turned it on that’s what you saw.so of course it was going to be on the 3GS. The funny thing is I haven’t even looked at my iPhone 15 Pro Max to see if it’s fair lol
Please please go through the box of phones. I still have my Blackberry curve, which I love, and this are tech history.... At least to those of us who love tech. I'm a 57 year old granny who has ADHD and loves tech. It works keeping my brain happy. Always learning. 😊I have my old iphkne 4 sprint phones and ipods and ipod touch. Still have charger charger rds as well. Just found buried treasure in yhr channel, and you are so positive. Thanks for posting. New sub!
I switched to Verizon for the Motorola Krazr. It was a slimmer version of the Razr with a glass clamshell screen. Anyone remember that phone? This was about 16 years ago. I loved that little phone, it was red, it flipped out with a satisfying snap, easier to get your thumb into it than the Razr. It fit in my female pockets no matter how small and useless they were. I remember once I was in a meeting and I dropped it, RIGHT EXACTLY when someone was adjusting their chair and it was under the leg of the chair, happened in a split second, dropped, adjusted chair and came down and crunched tf out of my phone. I was so mad, but really it was an accident…so I had no reason to be mad at the person. It was one of the times I had a protection plan and got it replaced. Yeah, basically completely unrelated to this video besides it was a relation to the Razr.
I still regularly use my 3Gs as an iPod connected to a Tivoli Audio (Model One) in my kitchen. It has about 3thousand of the only songs i ever want to hear
0:44 Ah! The Razr! Found one for ultra cheap at a flea market, which was suspicious. I'd expect something stupid like $50. My suspicions where confirmed when I removed the back. Corrosion city! Even at $1 I would of been paying too much. That pile of sadness went back on the table. Don't regret not buying it tbh.
I remember having the same iPhone 3G in the color but in 32gb and with the full pink flower wallpaper on the background of the home screen of the iPhone 3G i previously owned and a black 32 gb iPhone 3GS with a pink water lily wallpaper on the background of the Home Screen of the iPhone 3GS i previously owned
Watching this from my 15 pro max, love this damn phone, loved every gen iPhone especially my 13 & 14pm no cap tho the 3rd gen se for $149 is the best deal for a pre paid phone you can possibly get, that phone is better then any android you can get and metro or Walmart
I am watching your video in classroom and then my teacher see me that I am using mobile phone and he said your legend then teacher punished me 😢 btw love from Bangladesh ❤ Edit: my English isn't good I know 😅 ........ One day i will meet you soon..... Ur legend ✊
That iPhone is an iPhone 8 and product red and if I had to guess it’s probably a 64 GB I had an iPhone 3GS like the one you show the video. The only other question is why was there a black section in the video from the time you turned the 3GS on until we shove it on?
i recently got an iphone 3gs from bulgaria and it had a lot of things and its also one of the oldest 3gses from bulgaria, now i have it on ios 4.1 but it died since the battery no longer charges
