Classic iPhone FUD article

[gevorg]

Almost every sentence that idiot wrote is full of lulz.

The iPhone is initially received with warmth, but after the first year of AT&T's two-year sentence, the public begins to realize that it's been had. See the Motorola Razr.
...
It's ugly! There, it had to be said. The iPhone's awkward, neofuturistic design looks like something out of an old Star Trek episode. Remember the me-too styles and hairdos that were in vogue at the tail end of the '80s? The iPhone feels like that, and it likely marks the end of the relatively pleasing design aesthetic that marked Apple's rise to grace.

Actually, all of it has merit in some way. It's not prescient, but at the time it was a very limited device. It's just that marketing trumps everything.

I'm surprised to see that article from Appleworshipworld, but then it was years ago.

Yep. There wasn't a lot too the iPhone 1. Remember that it came out before the app store changed everything. Imagine only using the default apps, and nothing else. That'd suck pretty hard.

It is sort of like comparing Diablo II 1.10+ to 1.0, or Starcraft 1.0 to 1.6 (I think that was the last patch). Significantly different things.

Original iPhone didn't have 3G, C&P, apps, tethering, multiple home screens, folders, voice control, unified inboxes, etc. etc. etc. It kicked the whole industry in the pants though.
