3GS. I wasn’t interested in the original iphone because I thought “I’d have fingerprint smudges all over the screen…gross!”: then I saw them in public and wished that I’d gotten one. I’ve upgraded every year since the 3GS: selling the old phone and buying the new. Now, I’m on the IUP.
That plus the whole AntennaGate at the very beginning is why Mark Papermaster left (or was he really fired lol)

iPhone 4 had such a troublesome launch. The whole Lost/Stolen iPhone 4 prototype at the bar which led to the Gizmodo article which led to the arrest of the Gizmodo editor.
The delayed White iPhone 4 launch and then AntennaGate causing Apple to give away from bumpers for a period of time.
Oh and we can't forgot Comex bringing up JailbreakMe.com back for a super early iPhone 4 jailbreak. I think that was about 3 weeks after the iPhone 4 launched or something like that.
The iPhone 4 also was the first iPhone to support Verizon when they launched that version like 6 months later with a revised external antenna to correct the AntennaGate issues.
Crazy times indeed!
IIRC the antenna was different because of CDMA and not because of the “you’re holding it wrong” issues from the GSM models?
Wow, @MrENGLISH I had forgotten all that. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
On the 22nd I'll already be checked into my hotel room. I have my iPhone 15 Pro Max 512gb set for In Store pickup , Sept 22nd, 8-8:15am . Once I get the new iPhone back tot he hotel room, which is the fastest way to transfer my data over? The wi-fi isn't the greatest but I was thinking maybe iPhone to iPhone Wi-Fi Direct transfer? I am assuming I'll be back to the hotel about 9am and need to head out again 10:45am ish. Should I bring my MBP and do an encrypted backup to the Mac and restore from there? Lol I need to remember to unpair my watch this time as well lol
I started with Original one. Except 3GS and 11, I have had all of them.
Blackberry Curve. Loved that thing. When my tech obsession began!
Just a heads up. Please stay on-topic.
Did anyone received any movements with their iPhone? iPhone Wave 1 & Wave 2.

Your apps will need to be all downloaded and it will be a hot mess.
All apps will want to download at the same time, you can't really prioritize and it will take a lot.
What I'm doing: cleaning the phone of trash apps that I don't need before the upgrade. deleted the current "backup"(which was 80 GB). Did a new backup, 10 GB
Got a feeling the first wave will start moving tomorrow night.
I know the apps will have to download since they are not transferred (just app data) . I'll do the same and try to trim down non used apps.
I remember years ago, I think during 5S era, if you were backing up on Mac/ PC the app files would be backed up.
Unfortunately it's not the case anymore... Last year I had to try restore from backup,, waited 2 hours, it was a mess on Apple Store's wifi, gave up, reset, set as new 🤯
This year I'm going ready

I’m having the exact same problem! It is possible years ago I created an account I don’t remember and failed to enter into 1Password because something went awry, I don’t know.
I live at an address that has two names that can be used interchangeably for the city. Most of my mail uses one of the names but for some reason on UPS I’ve got the alternate name listed. I can’t edit the address to make it match what I use for my shipping address with Apple. Sigh.
I always jail broke my phones...bought every one since its inception (EXCEPT THE 8) I need slingplayer on there..I used to spend 6 months abroad...how things have changed...the worst thing is that slingbox was discontinued
It was both. If you look at the stainless steel bands on the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 vs the GSM iPhone 4, you can see they made a change to correct the AntennaGate issue. The change was carried over to the 4S.

I ordered a 15 Pro Max in Natural Titanium at about 5:10am PDT (once I could get into the site) on Friday and by that time it was already showing an Oct 4th - Oct 9th delivery window. I just checked the status and it's now showing October 2nd for delivery which is a relief as I'm headed on vacation for 2.5 weeks on the 6th!
If you want to understand how fast your devices are charging you can use cheap USBC testers that will tell you exactly how much power is being passed through .
I use DROK usb tester usb-c which is like 20 bucks on Amazon. if I could bring one thing to an island, I would strongly consider this.
this really isn’t necessary if you’re using Apples newest chargers and cables. If we can’t trust Apple, we’ve got bigger issues. (Though I still test them, and they perform as advertised.)
It’s great if you have existing usbc chargers and want to see how a third party cable behaves with a third party charger and see what will provide the fastest, most consistent power supply.
some people are asking if dual or triple port chargers would spread the load evenly or speed up or down when other devices connect. No need to guess, just plug the cable Into the tester and the tester into your device and it will tell you exactly.

Also, you pay sales tax on the entire price of the phone with carriers, versus Apple where you pay sales tax on the difference between full price and trade in value.
It's 6:30 AM over there, time to get up! LET'S GO!!It's nearly dawn on Monday morning where Wave 1& 2 are currently sleeping. Time to get going. All iPhones are currently in standby mode. Waiting for alarms to wake you guys up and get on your flights...
I paid taxes on the full amount here on my order from Apple. Always have, even with trade in.
Wave 2.....I have not had any scan updates for about 10 hours now.
Gold is Best! Best! Best! Best!
It's still yesterday over here. 🤓
