Default The iPhone is 8 years old today

My how I laughed when many members on here said it would flop, said they'd never stop using a keyboard, said touchscreens were useless, laughed at how large it was, called me mental for saying it would be great for games.

I think we can all agree that on the 29th June 2007 all of our lives were changed by Apple. Nice job Steve.

Well Happy Birthday the iPhone.
Still have no desire to own one, or pay tomorrow prices for yesterdays technology, for a device that does not seem to be as well built as the average android phone

How much credit can Steve take, I'd suggest John Casey played a bigger part in it although the touch screen idea was (I believe) down to jobs.

Regarding the above, quotes would be good about now .. quite funny too.

I dragged the thread up a while ago, it's a fun read, I said some stupid things but not as stupid as some.
