It was considered a large phone in 2007 because that's when phones were getting smaller and smaller. I honestly really miss the wow factor of smartphones back then. Anymore, it's just big damn deal same ol crap every year.
2007 was such a great year. iPhone was released, Halo 3 was released, Abercrombie & Fitch was still popular especially with their cologne you could smell from the other side of the mall & most of all…times were way easier. We thought what little worries we had then we’re bad, nah, they were trivial compared to being an adult now. We’ve lost so many loved ones since then, had hardships, financial trouble, you name it, we’ve been through it. Just please always remember, cherish the time we have, hold what family & friends you have close, be kind, I know it’s hard to be kind in such an evil world, trust me, I struggle with that everyday, but we are strong. If you see this, God Bless you & yours. Stay safe.
This comment is as old now as this video was when you left it 💀 I hope someone in 7 years replies to this comment. Hello person form the future, we used to use skull emojis to signify laughter.
battery life is pretty good. I take it off the charger at 7AM and put it back on around midnight and it has about 10% left. Thats with VERY heavy internet and email usage.
The iPhone one was a pretty good phone in terms of design. Yes, compared to the latest models it is very bulky, however the fact that it has an aluminum finish instead of a glass or plastic cover makes it comfortable in the hands. Glass is comfortable but not very durable, though the iPhone will take a few hits to the ground, right now only the HTC has the aluminum metallic backing. Also thumbs up if your looking at this in 2014 and to think most people were clueless about smartphones, and had phones like the blackberry pearl, and now we take it for granted!
Before I ever got the first iPhone about a week after the original launched, I had a Motorola SLVR and thought it was awesome. Then the iPhone came out and it was mind blowing. A phone with an actual web browser that pulls the page up like a computer would? An App Store to download apps right then and there and play them immediately? I just remember everyone wanting to play with it for the longest time and it being a hassle just to pull out in front of anyone bc it would attract a crowd.
Watching this in 2021 and I am amazed by how much technology around us has evolved - both with smartphones and video/audio gear. Regardless, watching the lower quality ancient tech videos brings with itself much cherished nostalgic memories.
This video is kind of a time capsule. Most iPhone unboxing videos are just flashbacks unboxing used models, but this is one of the few original unboxings that survived in the rubble, it's kinda cool. This was actually the video that made me wanna get an iPhone when I was on the fence for years. The packaging just looked so cool and premium compared to what you would normally get. That might be a dumb reason to wanna get a phone, but presentation is everything, and if you're gonna spend 100s of dollars on a phone, it better come in some pretty neat packaging.
Lol I’m here 13 yrs later in 2020 thinking: wow how much apple has improved He’s probably thinking: OMG this is as futuristic as it can get (as he’s opening the iPhone 1)!
I remember when I first looked at the very first iPhone the resolution looked so dam HD, but now when you look at it today it looks so pixelated like it was made in the 90's.
I am someone who always uses android for pretty much all devices, but still I have respect for visionaries like Steve Jobs. He was a man who was truly ahead of his time.
I was only around 5/6 years old back when it came out! Apple sure has come a long way! On my iPhone 4 at the moment; and waiting excitedly for the arrival of a 6/6S this week! 😊
Soon it’s gonna be 2022. It’s 9th of December 2022 today. How amazing that most of the comments are from 5-7 years ago. Time is going that fast damn. I just wanna cry
Its 2015 and I just bought one of these on eBay for $50. Something about having the first iPhone just seems cool, even if I won't really be able to use it for much.
Jon, do you ever watch these old videos of yourself? It's crazy to see how you've changed and how far you've come. Lol, same with the technology that you've reviewed. Congrats on becoming as big as you are now! You deserve it and I'm excited to continue watching your new videos!

lot of change in Jon .....changed a lot....his recording setup and every thing has changed....good luck and all the best...we want to see you unboxing ..iPhone 50
And now ten years later i watch this. It kinda funny how you only use mediocre camera with low quality audio recording, but hey, that is what we got back in the day rite. And now everybody can do unbox video at top quality. What a nostalgic video

battery life is pretty good. I take it off the charger at 7AM and put it back on around midnight and it has about 10% left. Thats with VERY heavy internet and email usage.

I cant belive how much iPhones have changed. From the 1st generation to the 6th.
We're on the 8th gen already. Unless you don't count the S variants in which case we are in the 5th.
What do you mean? iPhones haven't changed a bit since 2007!

At least I can rest in peace at finally discover very old RUclips videos where reviews were made of the first iPhone in its time 😌.
2018?? 11 Years
Crazy how we went from barely knowing about 3g and touch screen phones to Face ID and portrait cameras that run 4K at 60 frames.
If you had sold it off a decade later...do you know how rich you would be?
Not really rich they go for few thousand bucks froma good seller

So this is the first iphone unboxing ever on RUclips?
