I’m celebrating the history of my iPhones! Read Part Four here. With the iPhone 5 Apple hinted that Android phones might be onto something with larger screens but wasn't ready to admit that the iPhone needed more screen space in both directions.

I’m celebrating the history of my iPhones! Read Part Three here. UPDATE! I received my iPhone X today! But I'm still going to finish this series off. Another year, more progress. After years of Android manufacturers trying every screen size known to man, Apple finally caved... a little. The iPhone 5 introduced a new form factor with …
I’m celebrating the history of my iPhones! Read Part Two here. A lot happened since I purchased my 3GS. The iPhone 4 was splashed all over the internet after Gizmodo found a pre-production model laying around in a bar, Steve Jobs told us all how to hold it, a Verizon model was born, and a …
