Alright guys, it's time to answer the highly debated question: What is the best classic iOS game? Like for example Temple Run, Angry Birds, Doodle Jump, etc? Edit- some more good ones: Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride, Talking Tom
I will always remember my 3GS always Temple Run and everyone in Estonia looked at me very weirdly (because everybody used flip phones still), and one time at the bus a man yelled HOW IS HE USING THAT PHONE?!
Umbes 2013. aastani olid sa tatikana tegija, kui sul puutekas taskus oli😂😂 Translation: Up to 2013ish you were a badass when you had a touchscreen while being a kid
@@aeris2001 that is what people who cannot afford the phone go about it . Little do they know buying it cash is cheaper long term

@@aeris2001 yes, but the 5c went for 200€ with a prepaid contract (non-simlocked) in 2014. You still were able to put in a T-Mobile sim. The SE2020 costs 330€ now new (still extremely cheap, but there are better options on the market).
The iPhone 3GS was my favorite phone and design by far. It was super comfortable to use because it was reminiscent of Apples magic mouse. If they brought this back in a much durable structure and bigger, I would buy it all day long. It looked so good
@Seven V Google, OnePlus and now even Samsung offer 3+ years of software support which is how long people keep their phones at most, except for a small portion
I really do miss the novelty of multi touch phones, it was new and so futuristic. I’m glad newer companies like Nothing are making phones that are fun to use, yes it’s a gimmick, but it’s something new and refreshing.
This phone holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first one to include the Voiceover screen reader, which really opened up a whole new world to me. Before, if you were blind, in order to use a phone, you were limitted to a flip phone, and having people program numbers in to speed dial for you, or getting a smart phone, plus an additional $300 software to load on the phone in order to have it read out the screen. Amazing just how far tech has come, but yeah, the 3gs was special, because Voiceover was available with no additional cost. Back in the day, it still had to be turned on by a sighted person, whereas now we can turn it on right out ofthe box and run through setup ourselves.
a re release of 3GS with modern tech and bezelless retina display would be awesome. keep the exterior exactly the same, but with modern internal components and bigger display
What he said really got me thinking. “ it wouldn’t have lightning for another three years.” That was so long ago, and we still have lighting and not USB-C...
Lightning makes apple too much money to let go of xD Why would they switch when they can have other companies pay them a royalty for the chargers they make?
I rocked an iPhone 3Gs for a long time back in the day, my very first smart phone. Jumped off the iOS ship after that and went android up until a few days ago when I bought a mint iPhone XS off a friend and switched to that from a Galaxy Note 9. Very fond memories of playing Resident Evil 4 on my 3Gs!!
Very similar story to me. I went to Android mainly for notifications, push Gmail, access to games emulators, being able to drag music on rather than “syncing”; and a few other things like that. Then Android stayed ahead of the feature curve enough that I stuck with it for 3 more phones after that, over a period of 10 years. Now feature parity is basically there (at least for everything that matters to me) I’ve given iOS a go again, although I still have and still use my most recent Android phone currently as well. It’s interesting to me how many things are still basically the same as they were in the 3GS. But features like widgets or the app library or picture in picture arguably improve upon Android’s experience, even though they took so long to arrive. Even things like the notification centre, given they’ve copied each other back and forth for so long, have pleasantly surprised me; such as giving you a button to collapse a stack of notifications on both the bottom and top of the list. Whereas on Android, once a stack of notifications is expanded, you either have to do a slightly awkward gesture to close it, or close and reopen the entire notification shade. Plus there’s a much lower maximum limit on how many messages can stack, presumably partially to mitigate the issue I just said, but if you’ve got a lot of messages from somebody you can’t even see the context of their first ones. Whereas with iOS you can see basically every notification they sent.
I have a relative that used to use the 3GS a few months ago. They wanted to use it because it had some pictures (they didn’t know they could transfer photos) luckily I was able to give them my old se and save their photos. I can only imagine how slow the thing would be.
My first iPhone! Such nostalgia Josh, thanks for sharing! I’ve still got mine and yes the plastic near the charging port / dock connector has cracked on mine but it’s a keepsake these days :-)
I re-found my old 3GS in a drawer the other day and got flooded with nostalgia. This was a superb device back in the day. I'm running a Galaxy Note these days and it's incredible how much bigger phones are now, it's strange to be able to reach my thumb up to the top of the entire device. Good times.
Still own one ,had it since 2010 and still it works great ,i dont actually use it but i still love that phone as it was my first ever iphone and the fact that it still works is just amazing
3GS was my first ever iPhone! I loved it and whenever I see it, it brings me back to the very end of 2009 and all of 2010 which were some good times in my life. I had so much new things going on, and I guess being an iPhone user was one as I've always been on the iPhone side ever since.
I was 10 years old when my mother got this phone in 2009, and I remember being so amazed by the touchscreen and the games you could play, as that was something I had never seen before. I do not know the name of the games and cannot find them, but games like Fruit Ninja and Temple Run were not out yet. That iPhone felt so special and loved playing with it and owning it in 2011-2012.
“ iPhone 5c but we don’t talk about that one “ Edit : lol thx for so many likes 👍 I know 23 looks like it’s not much but it’s the best I have had lol thx for that
There is a reason to get a 3GS... they (and the 3g) are ridiculously simply to do repairs on. I got a few to use as an introduction to phone repairs for myself and they helped me improve a lot, as they at every simple to do things on but help you learn proper techniques
I remember spending hours playing Cube Runner and PuzzLoop on my hand me down 3GS that my dad gave me when he got a 5C, those games were the real stuff.
I had an iPhone 3G, didn’t even use a plan with it lol. It was the first phone to really change my friends and family’s minds about what it meant to use a smartphone - it had excellent build quality and true utility
I had an Iphone 3GS and 4, on Android since. The 3GS holds a special place as my first smartphone and I have great memories of playing Angry Birds and letting my friends without smartphones play it.
I have my 3GS too, honestly I think it’s a great phone and I love how much nostalgia it brings. But I would like to find a 2G and 3G. Nice video I just subscribed
I just got a 3GS. Friend gave it to me. I revived it, jail broke it, official unlocked it. Fully working now. Also was given an iPhone 4 a while ago, which I used to have, actually twice before.
In 2013 a friend of mine used the 3GS and later in the year he upgraded to the 5C. In 2015 another one of my friends used the 3GS until he switched to an Android phone later that year.
My first iPhone was a 4S, but I did have a 2nd gen iPod Touch before that and going for high scores in Doodle Jump was definitely a thing for a little while in high school. The motion based controls were very neat to see
My aunt gave our family an old 3GS. We got it while it was stuck on an old version of iOS, and I remember being so bummed that Minecraft needed iOS 7 at minimum and this one couldn’t get it. Good times.
Just got a 3GS this week for less then 10$ to my collection. It has the same crack at the back near the charging port lol. Tried some temple run on it and its running very good!
one of my favorite iPhones. super revolutionary with that advertisement about the iPhone being in a briefcase really shows how proud they were of the iPhone 3GS. currently waiting on a screen replacement to arrive so i can fix an iPhone 6 for a friend
The 3Gs is not forgettable literally everyone had one. Those were the custom jailbreak days of iphone with the "swipe to jailbreak" ahhhhh I remember those days
When the home button failed about 3 years into use of the phone I turned on the Accessibility option to have a floating button on the screen and continued to use the phone for several more years 😎
I still have fond memories Tiny Wings and Jetpack Joyride riding the bus to school in sixth grade since I was always one of the first ones on and one of the last ones off. Rest In Peace, my iPod touch 4g that I dropped in a bowl of strawberries and it cracked the display. Thankfully at the time I had the Radio Shack warranty and they fully refunded it and by then the price had dropped enough for me to jump from an 8 gig model to the 32. What a time to be alive.
My aunt had an original iPhone, then got a 3GS when that came out. She's literally only had iPhones, and I'd be willing to bet she's damn close to having had them all as a daily at one point or another. I do remember a kid having one in high school long after its prime (2012 maybe?) and he used the hell out of that thing. I didn't get one until the 4S, and that to this day is my favorite phone hands down.
my math teacher in high school was still using 3gs until I graduated (2016). and she probably still using it in 2020. she is a rich old lady, so I assume she is just really like this phone
I bought my first iPhone in 2010 it was a 3GS and never looked back. Since then I've been on iOS only trying out the LG G2 for a short while. I had iPhone 3GS, 4, 4s, 5, 6s, 7 plus and now a 12.
I never had an IPhone 3GS as I was on a different carrier at the time. It was the first phone that caught my eye. My favorite game was a skee-ball based game. I still play it!
My roommate had a iPhone 3GS and the moment I myself could play around wiith it I knew that smartphones are here to stay. It was like the first matured smartphone which rapidly accelerated in later generations
3GS was my first iPhone. I got it after the 4 came out, because my family couldn’t afford the latest one. I still have it, but it long since stopped working, and the screen popped out of its frame. I remember having to transfer all my documents over manually because 3GS stopped just before the first iOS with iCloud on it. Yes, I retyped out many stories onto my 5s just so I could continue working on them.
@@haxemeback9304 I’m referring to the icon for music not the physical device. Before it was a note that said “music” it was a small picture of an iPod within a orange square & said “iPod”
I actually very much remember the 3GS as it was my first experience with the iPhone. I remember being so interested in apple products and Steve Jobs as a kid, I was in elementary school when this came out. My friend and nexdoor neighbor had one of these, and I remember being envious of him and also very impressed with the phone. It was awesome.
They are good for playing old 32-bit games that may not be available on the store anymore. But most of those apps are only available now in the purchased section, so any user wanting to revisit classic versions of apps would've had to purchase them long ago
I used to own the iphone 3gs back in 2014 and I loved that phone! I had every classic game you can play on it. I would have to say fruit ninja was my favorite game to play. But boy oh boy the delayed lag game was stronggg. I will forever miss that old phone haha
0:10 Actually I have the iPhone 3GS so it’s one of the first iPhones I think of. It has a few cracks but sooner or later I’ll repair it/get it repaired.
I use an iphone 6s but recently i bought the 3gs. App store has mostly unavailable apps and most the ones that do download but servers are down lol Other then that- im quite satisfied
This was my first iphone and sold or ganded down almost every single iphone I had after this and but kept the 3gs for sentimental reasons. I fired it up after getting a bootleg charging cable and lo and behold..ot still works! Now I’m kinda excited to use this thing in public along with my 1st gen ipod touch. Great video btw
Literally just bought one of these for purely nostalgic reasons. A hand-me-down 3GS was my first smartphone, but mine went missing years ago. Saw one on eBay in decent shape for $30 and jumped on it.
I'm gonna buy one for about $25. Good shape, 32 GB- I plan to use it because its camera has an incredible nostalgic type film looking quality. It isn't very good at only 480p but it gives off this feeling I really love so I thought why not snatch one?
3gs was my first smartphone. In my opinion the "3" shape felt better in the hand than any other iPhone since -- smooth and comfortable. I was so excited to finally get a smartphone, I had it custom painted (colorware), which held up very well. Grey pearl with a burgundy bezel and home button. Sweet!
