To me, it was the most comfortable iPhone to hold. 3Gs was nice too but it was too chunky.

Omg we LOVED the 3GS. I remember when it came out - thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. My husband, kids and I all had them, and I remember how much money I dropped on Otterboxes. It was nuts!

That was a great time. Each iPhone gen was such a huge jump. The screen quality from 3g to 4. Then Touch ID in 5s. Big screens in the 6 gen. After its Less exciting.

In those early days there was plenty they could integrate but as time has gone on most manafacturers not just Apple are struggling to come up with new ideas that are actually useful and not just gimmicks or some silly pixel race on cameras etc.

The next big jump will probably be whoever cracks the battery tech to make phones last for much longer, its not going to be able to fold your phone!!
 
I used my original 4GB iPhone for three years before getting a 4. Man, that was interesting, being choosy about what songs and photos I wanted on my phone. Good times; I still have that phone, downgraded to iPhone OS 1.
 
I had a white iPhone 5c given to me for work back in the day. It had 8 gig but never used it for storage.

I think these were aimed at the business market. Same as the base iPad is aimed at educational/business. These don't need much storage.
 
My first iPhone was the 5S and I remember thinking 'man this is the height of technology, how can it get any better than this' LOL.
 
With that model being offered at the time, I could easily survive 8 GB. But with today’s standards with downloads and updates, it would be rather difficult. But I also was a user that barely even filled 16 GB of memory when it was offered.
I use just over 32GB now and could get it under if I really needed to.
