3G for me. Didn't like it so got rid and got a Blackberry instead! Then from 4 to today there's no other than Apple.
Got a tip for us?

first iPhone for me was the 3G, still remember lining up at the local AT&T store on launch day, they only had 30 in stock and I was number 23. Luckily, got my black 16gb 3G. But the iPhone became special with the iPhone 4 for me.
I’m so old that I started the cell game back in the day with the original Motorola FAT brick phone 😳 Can’t even remember which iPhone model I had first.
Supcase UB Grip just arrived and might be my new favourite!
Probably the 600D Pitaka Edge or Peel Magnetic Case.
I remember wanting an element case for my iPhone 4 so much. But I could t afford one.
I ordered many crap knock offs from AliExpress.
Man same I was 12 when the 2g came out. Saved up and got the 3g late in the cycle and fell in love with speck candyshell cases
Really liking the sheath so far. Think it’s going to be a keeper!
You had me researching mine...was this Ericcsson from 1995. I was an Ensign in the Navy going to Nuclear Power School in Orlando, FL. That little flip up rubber antenna. (Not my photo).
Still have my first iPhone - 3GS and it still turns on when I charge it. This was from Jan 2022.
I traded my 3GS when I got the 5S. The 3GS had a lovely, white, curved back.
I traded the 5S for the 6S as it had some damage, which the Apple store didn't care about and gave me quite a bit of money for.
I kept the 6S (still got it; was and still is a backup phone) and got the 11. I still have that but the screen's trashed and now have the sage 17.

Got bored of my leather 17 pro max case. Ordered a black apple silicone case to match my new black Apple Watch Ultra 3. Have a plateau skin coming as well. The case black in color is $15 off on Amazon USA.
After jailbreaking my 3G I refused to buy a new release until there was a JB available. I still miss folders in folders!
But as it started to take longer and longer for the JB to appear, and even longer if you wanted untethered, I gave up around the 7. Took a while to get used to a non jailbroken iPhone.
Fortunately the jailbreaks during their prime came out pretty quickly with the new phone releases/iOS release. You just had to make sure to stay on your current version of iOS until an updated jailbreak came out.
I stopped at iPhone 7 Plus as well. My 3G, 3GS, 4, 5 and 6 Plus were all jail broken.
I remember I had a control center, dark mode, haptic keyboard etc way before Apple decided to release those features. During those times Apple adopted a lot of their software ideas from the jailbreaking community.
The iPhone 4, prior to that I was full on Nokia from the 3210 up until the Windows devices that they bought out and then it went to ****. I got most of my Nokia handsets (mostly Symbian s60 handsets and all the N series range and some E series) free as I used to test the devices for them before release.

Met him once at a Jailbreak conference thing in London, quite an interesting bloke.
Want to provide an update, Caudabe got back to me and they’re sending me a new Sheath.
Since they haven’t asked for the original back, I put the sheath on and man, this is the case, it’s what I have been looking for a more “protective” case. Super comfortable to hold for being thicker than the techwoven and silicone cases. And the grip is fantastic. I’m done with cases. Black and blue techwoven, midnight silicone and now my black sheath (precise). Done with cases unless they release a royal blue or just a brighter blue sheath than celestial.
Returns
Rumors are it will only be available in mauve, chartreuse, and hot pink. They’re also upgrading from aluminum to galvanized tin.
