You know it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come with Apple over the many years. I remember getting the iPod, like the chonky boy with scroll wheel and I thought this is absolutely amazing. And now we’re at iPhone 14. Wow.

Found my ipod lol

Very true. When you zoom out and look at the journey, it’s been quite the change. I remember using my friend’s iPod in those early days, it was mind blowing then. I later got the Shuffle as a present and that ran for years. I still want to get one of the early gen with the wheel just for fun lol. The design still looks great.
I'm glad Apple's skunkworks labs never released a scroll wheel dialer phone. Touchscreen iPhone was perfect as a revolutionary 1st gen device. I remember an ad showing what people bought at Radio Shack that were supplanted with iPhone. Game changing and still evolving. I always want the latest gen.

Yeah scroll wheel phone would’ve been funny. IIRC they announced the iPod touch after the iPhone but released it before iPhone. I remember seeing someone on the bus one day with it and stared in awe lol. Even the touchscreen iPod was insane at that time.

Speaking of rotary phones.

LOL. That was fun to watch. Also mind bending to watch them struggle with it, having only worked smartphones before. Makes me wonder about a future when kids won’t know how to work our current iPhones which would be outdated technology at that point! 😂

I hate that most weather apps now a days are all per a month or year subscriptions. Stupid.

I would easily pay $25 to $100 for a lifetime license instead. Oh well. :(

Yes know that iOS has it own Weather app but it is not as advanced as I like.

So difficult finding the perfect weather app that has a lifetime fee and good.

For my new iPhone 14 Pro Max of course.
