It used some Wifi signals that bounced off of the phone to different gps towers and to near by specific gps cars to give your phone an area that you are in
The iPhone didn't have a GPS antenna. Otherwise, I very much appreciate a throwback review, it's quite refreshing explaining given concepts like multitouch and autorotation.
JJ Robles well, the phone is quite new (he probably has a review unit) so mistakes are make. That also explains scratches. I believe retail version won't have those.

Would you recommend the cheapest surface book or the new 12.9" iPad Pro 256gb for high school? I'm in the apple ecosystem, but I can't help feeling that the hardware of the surface book was designed to get work done, whereas the iPad Pro is just a blown up iPhone. The iPad Pro is faster and more fluid, but the surface book has a more ergonomic design, with the trackpad and everything. Have you done a surface book unboxing?
Bhavik Singh I have the iPad Pro and I occasionally use it for school (high school too) and it’s not as nice to use as a full blown computer. I much prefer using my MacBook Pro because it’s easier to multitask, type, and overall compatibility. The iPad will work, just sometimes more frustrating. Using my iPad Pro 12.9 as a content consumption device is where it really shines. Browsing the internet, watching RUclips or Netflix, and gaming are more enjoyable on the iPad than my MacBook because of its portability and better battery life (the 15” MBPr isn’t very good battery-wise when streaming content.)
I'm not gonna lie, this is really awesome. Edit: This is truly incredible. I was not expecting this content for the 10th anniversary. Amazing job, Mike!
This video is so great. Really feels like it's 2007 again, with all the new technology and features we weren't accustomed to back then. Amazing job on this vid. ♥
Love how this was made like a actual review from 2007 and the phone had just been released and are even saying that some stuff that would be awful now but say its amazing like the camara and screen
I love the way you did this video! It was interesting to see what things excited us back in 2007 that we all take for granted now. It really shows how far we’ve come. Especially mentioning the 2G network which ATT doesn’t even have support for anymore.
Nice! I like how this review is done from a 2007 standpoint except it's a high resolution video... plus the original launch day tote bag! Now this is a real "retro review". Of course, the giveaways as to the fact that this is a 2017 video is the ultra-wide monitor and iPhone OS 3.x.
Really nice video. Felt like I was watching a review from 2007, which was the whole point. Only thing that gave it away was the iPhone running iOS 3.1.3, with an App store.
When I got my original Iphone the edge connection really sucked as we had had 3G for four or five years already in the UK but the other features were so much more advanced than any other phone I had up to that point so it was worth it. Great job Detroitborg, nice nostalgia trip.
How did it feel to get your grubby little hands on piece of history. You will never get to unseal it again, so much nostalgia. You were that young entrepreneur in the crowd of Steve jobs revolutionary reveal shaking with excitement about how cool it would be to interact with a piece of technology using your finger. And you just tore that box apart because you couldn't wait to show your co workers and colleagues what the future looks like uuuuuuuhhhhhhh.
I JUST LOVE, How you're acting that you got this phone on launch and trying to act like its 2007! But seriously, it really was a OpponentDetaroyer! I mean what would you choose if you were living in 2007: A Nokia phone with the cringe, ugly looking Keyboard that are too small to fit with your fingers or a future'istick phone like 'The IPhone 2G' That were cool and had Swag in every way possible! LIKE IF YOU AGREE
that was pretty cleverly done, i had my suspicions when i saw the phone scratched and no cellular, but that was very convincing, as if the latest tech didn't exist yet. good job
I was smiling and remembering when this phone came out I wanted it so bad now that I think about it. I’m still the same way when new iPhone comes out. I have to have it lol. It’s really amazing how far we have come since the first iPhone came out. Thanks for the walk down memory lane this was awesome 👏
Love the concept of this video Mike. It's like taking a trip back in time lol Great video! Your attention to detail is unmatched compared to any other tech RUclipsr.
I never got to use the first few iPhone models because of having Verizon as my carrier. I did start using the iPhone starting with the 4 though. That's when it finally started coming to other carriers. It would have been fun to have been able to start at the beginning though. It's always fun to look back through history to see how far we've come.
Loved it. Interesting to see where we've been versus where we're at. Gotta remember to say "Most influential device of my lifetime, so far". You still have a lot of time left, and there's no telling what we'll get.
I am sure the original iPhone would have sold a lot more if this review existed back then. Fantastic job. At that time owning an iPhone in India used to be a distant dream. Thankfully thats not the case anymore.
Its so small! I have the 7 plus, and i cant imagine using something so small. Im so glad they came out with the plus. Im interested to see how future iphones are going to look 😊
iPhone 2G didn't have GPS antennas, my mistake. Got some bad info on that, but it used WiFi hotspots and radio tower triangulation.
DetroitBORG please continue this series with the iPhone 3G then 3GS and so on.
Heh heh, well caught, I was about to comment correcting you! Really well done, seems pretty accurate except for the GPS comments!
DetroitBORG Jesus, you like every detail
And then eventually an iPhone 7 and 7 Plus review!?!?!?!
It used some Wifi signals that bounced off of the phone to different gps towers and to near by specific gps cars to give your phone an area that you are in
2007: 320*480 resolution! is really sharp
2017: 1440*2560 resolution! so low you can see the pixels!
TRUUU
I mean, you can see the pixels.
*720x1600
I really liked how he reviewed it as if the phone had just come out 👌🏼
Chew Your Water omg ikr! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Chew Your Water yes!
I know right!!
The Water Chewer it says retro review
👌👍❤️
this is a legit review from 2007 perspective!!! i love it
You sound younger than ever!

Still hoping for an updated Moto Razr...
the last razr phpne was the razr maxx hd. still my favorite android phone.
I'm from 2020 and I can confirm that your wish will be fulfilled
Lol
have fun with the moto that is getting destroyed by samsung
@@xers8719 the same Samsung that breaks if you peel off the screen protector?
Coming in clutch with the late night entertainment
2007 with a 4K camera 😂
Bluemeannie no there was no 4k back in 2007
Marco Munoz he was being sarcastic
The first 4k camera actually came out in 2003 so it was possible but only if you were rich as hell.
Not gonna lie it does have a good camera not even being sarcastic
Bs. It is a 3g. Look at how he is sliding the screen
#jauntyangle
DetroitBORG Nice word Mike

*seeing the high resolution ultrawide display in the background in 2007*
But...But....The OS X 10.4 Tiger Wallpaper?! ;)

I was constantly smiling while watching this! 😀😀👌👌
Me too
Mike i like your attention to detail you even set the classic mac wallpaper on your computer👍
Tiger wallpaper on High Sierra. If I was REALLY serious I could have dug out the 30" and Cheese Grater ;)
Your the man you can do it Cheers have a good day😀
Ray Blvck he needed to downgrade his iPhone to iOS 1
Ray Blvck with an old macbook pro too
yeah but he forgot the google home in the background
LOL Mike. Nice attention to historical detail in using the term 'self portrait' rather than 'selfie' ;)
yay I've been waiting on this review for 10 years!
Thomas Aherne same
First iPhone got better accessories than the new one
Orange Juice yes i agree i watch new iphone unboxings dont reallly like apple
Really do
I know it has way better accessories than the newer iPhone's
Daniel Pittard nopw
sip
I love how mike pretends like hes unboxing for the first time back in 2007
ReadySpaghetti 15 that’s the point right
hahaha love the way you act as if you're still in 2007 😂😂 hows Steve Jobs?
Anirudh Nadig it says retro review stupid
@@GigaSyntax he is right you know?
If Steve Jobs was still alive, apple would continued have been a good company, unlike now.
RIP my man
@@Turbs94945 apple still has the second best selling phones. even though their phones aren't the best, a lot of people still buy it.
@@xers8719 Unfortunatly, yes
We living in 2017 and this guy living in 2007
it's actually 2007
Fantastic 德 oops
y that's the beauty of the unboxing it 2017. just to show how far we've come tech wise. would love to see a 2006 WhiteBook unbox.
I'm thinking of that
Look in the description
Only Mike could’ve pulled off such an amazing review as if he’s still doing it in 2007. Much, much better than those usual retro iPhone unboxings
I love the Tiger background in the background, thanks for the through back.
He either traveled through time and came from the past or he uploaded it on internet explorer
Osama Al-Khanchi I see what you did there
Awesome Throw back :)
MrExpert Yo! Fan here
MrExpert holy moly I love your channel
ooh its summer 2007 can't wait for SPIDER-MAN 3
Asiful Islam Going to be the best Spider-Man ever! Black-suit spidey!! Gwen Stacey, VENOM!! The series is just going to keep getting better!
PS 3 IS HERE MAN !!
Asiful Islam can't wait for halo 3 too be released
The new Die Hard was sick! Have you guys seen it? Also, Spiderman 3 launched months ago.
just got the new NOKIA N96 to have video and ngage capability ! happie with this years two best phones
Mike, back at it again with another a well done content! Happy 10th Bday iPhone!
“Thanks to cellular data” *no service*
Wow holy crap this is the coolest retro iPhone video ever I've never seen the original iPhone box brand new unboxing
6:33 I love that 00's transition HAHAHA nice job
Ohh i miss the old unlock screen it was iphone identity
Rip slido to unlocko
Ahmed Kamer you could get it back if you jail brake the phone
Jailbreak isnt working with ios 10.3.2 or later and we are waiting for ios 11 soon so i hope we could find agreat update
Alex GANG GBE 300 OTF Really? I've been looking for that on my jailbroken SE.
Ahmed Kamer hi
The original body is still my favorite to date. Especially the colors and the front metal outer rounding
really cool video man, I was already wondering if you were actually going to make this video, thanks and keep up the great content
I decided to do this 5 hours ago, haha.
his reply to your comment got the same amount of like than the actual comment
69th like hehe
This video is so great. Really feels like it's 2007 again, with all the new technology and features we weren't accustomed to back then. Amazing job on this vid. ♥
DetroitBORG is LIT!!🔥🔥🔥
I'm actually surprised the original iPhone has a better camera than most peoples phones today lol
iTech Help What?
No it does not, he was being sarcastic
Did somebody say Retro? 😎👍
That OS X Tiger wallpaper in the background though 😎
Awesome, I can wait to get this phone. Should I go for the 4GB or just goo all out and get the 8GB like a boss?
+Michael Nguyen 4GB is more than enough unless you intend to take lots of pictures and store music.
Maybe the 8GB suite me better. I have a lot of CDs to rip into MP3s and with the 2MP camera, it will take up a lot of space to store the photos.
crazy how 10 years doesn't seem ALL that long ago for things like movies/music, but in the world of technology a decade is practically a century
God DAMN! Those pixels hurts my eyes!
exactly
They reach out and scratch the retinas for sure.
Tong Zou nah Nokia usually had the best screens on their phones.
mysticmanification nope
You already sounds hurt ..
Love how this was made like a actual review from 2007 and the phone had just been released and are even saying that some stuff that would be awful now but say its amazing like the camara and screen
now you need to buy that dock for the iphone...
GameOn! The charger is smaller now RIP 😭😭
You can get a cheaper 3rd Party one.
You could made one yourself
I love the way you did this video! It was interesting to see what things excited us back in 2007 that we all take for granted now. It really shows how far we’ve come. Especially mentioning the 2G network which ATT doesn’t even have support for anymore.

I like that Mike is reviewing this like it's 2007
You should've done this on April fools
I had nostalgia with my iPod touch 4 running iOS 4-6.....2010-2017 my old device for now brings me nostalgic days and memories with it......
Watching this on my iPhone X 😂😂😂
It’s amazing how far we’ve come in 10 years
Love how you have made it like an actual review of a current product. Jumping back to 2007
Hahahaha what an awesome throwback review Mike!!!
I like how Mike reviews it as if the newer iPhones do not exist yet. And also... The transitions reminded me of the old videos back then.
yes I loved the review such nice quality you are the best RUclipsr
I love the fact you changed the Wallpaper of the Mac to Tiger and used the old MacBook Pro for this, all the little details is amazing.
Very clever, Mike. Nice job.
Veri čl
I love how you're acting as if this phone just came out. Amazing work Mike.
Phones are getting bigger but my hands aren't. :-(
U know what else ain't 😏
@@Thejennonanator d
The best review ive ever seen reviewing a historic phone.
I have iPhone 7plus but why TF am i getting the feeling jealous about that iphone
ITZYOBOIBLAZE cuz it has an earbuds jack
Same I got an iPhone 11 with 128 GB but I’m jealous of his lol
Probably one of the greatest inventions of my life so far. This changed everything for so many people.
Really nice video. Felt like I was watching a review from 2007, which was the whole point. Only thing that gave it away was the iPhone running iOS 3.1.3, with an App store.
oops u mentioned that later
I got a "Congratulations, your comment got a heart" notification.
When I got my original Iphone the edge connection really sucked as we had had 3G for four or five years already in the UK but the other features were so much more advanced than any other phone I had up to that point so it was worth it. Great job Detroitborg, nice nostalgia trip.
Was he being sarcastic when he said " and you get a Apple branded microfibre cloth for that huge glass display" yep huge glass display
_A _u_g_ This phone was the only one with a huge glass back in the day.
3.5 inch displays were considered big at that time when nokia's 2-inch xpressMusic phone displays were considered big enough.
" huge 3.5 inch screen"
"..not as loud as my flip phone" dude I love you 😃😃😃😃😃
This came out today right?
Nice joke😂😂
Watching this and hearing ‘a fairly large charger’ and ‘massive screen’ is just amazing, wow how times have changed.
Was this purposely posted in 360p?
teengeek17 it's how RUclips works it'll upload in 1080p eventually
teengeek17 It takes a few minutes after you upload the video to display the bigger resolutions.
The number one RUclipsr in my opinion , respect him A LOT !
Love your videos..... When are you uploading one plus 5 review
It was suppose to be today but then I realized the iPhone anniversary was today so I just had to squeeze this in. I'll have the OP5 tomorrow.
DetroitBORG upload it tomorrow please..
Ashwin kumar You don’t just process 4K video in a day...
Verted Intro I think you should read the second reply... First....
I'm still waiting for this review
Its cool that you review it like it just came out and its something new. Keep up the good work man👌🏽
The sarcasm is strong with this one.
TronixGaming It's not sarcasm, he's reviewing it as if it were 2007
“Steve jobs” were just gonna make a giant screen, a giant screen.
Who is still here in 2025?
I love that you're treating this as if this just came out.
YES OMG I LOVE THIS

wish I'd done things differently in 2007…things would have been a bit better... thanks Mike for bringing back those memories
I want an iPhone 2G
The way you explained everything, makes you think that this thing came out like yesterday.
"Mini SIM tray"
Such a clean and nostalgic review. Great job!
Lol. You a fool man. Good stuff 🙌🏼
Love the way he goes about this like it's a phone that just came out
Funny how you pretend that it just came out.
Jack_Cydia throw back review
Nice! Love the retro review. This is what makes DetroitBORG one of my favorite You Tube reviewers.
that was pretty cleverly done, i had my suspicions when i saw the phone scratched and no cellular, but that was very convincing, as if the latest tech didn't exist yet. good job
I like how you treated this phone like it was 2007, again
This review was really so detailed and enjoyable. Love the quality of your videos Mike!
Definitely a work of art.

I love how you're talking about it like it just came on the market
Tell me that OG Macbook Pro in the video is for another retro review, these are great!
I never got to use the first few iPhone models because of having Verizon as my carrier. I did start using the iPhone starting with the 4 though. That's when it finally started coming to other carriers.
It would have been fun to have been able to start at the beginning though. It's always fun to look back through history to see how far we've come.
10 years and this still looks magical
Damn, this takes me back to the good old days... It genuenly feels like it's 2007 again.
Loved it. Interesting to see where we've been versus where we're at. Gotta remember to say "Most influential device of my lifetime, so far". You still have a lot of time left, and there's no telling what we'll get.
This gives me all the memories thinking how cool this phone was when it came out
I am sure the original iPhone would have sold a lot more if this review existed back then. Fantastic job. At that time owning an iPhone in India used to be a distant dream. Thankfully thats not the case anymore.
you are doing a review like we're living in 2007. The huge display was the best part
If Steve jobs was still the CEO he could even include airpods in the iphone 7 box when they removed the headphone jack from it
Dhyey Patel ikr back when apple was about innovation now it’s about the cash
Its so small! I have the 7 plus, and i cant imagine using something so small. Im so glad they came out with the plus. Im interested to see how future iphones are going to look 😊
