The iPhone 3G came out in 2008 and was the perfect next step for Apple- but even so, there’s a reason no one remembers it. How does it hold up 12 years later?

Today we take some time to remember the iPhone 3G- a phone that, well, exists. And I'd say there's more to it than a plastic shell and price reduction. Oh, and 3G.

I garbage picked this phone from an old coat at a time when the iPhone 4 had long since been released. I was excited, it was my first smartphone. I took the SIM out of my flip phone, put it in the iPhone, and promptly got rid of the flip phone. A decision I ended up regretting, because not long after I ended up despising the thing. It was unbearably slow and restrictive, constantly crashed from running out of memory. Wasn't even as reliable a telephone as my flip phone. But, I had nothing else, so I ended up using it for years. At least I got some entertainment and knowledge out of jailbreaking it and mucking about with the software. Then I got a ZTE Maven, a cheap prepaid phone, and it was so superior in every way that I've never looked back.
In 2008 we had Nokia N-Series and Sony Ericsson Cybershot with really good phone camera so please don't say iPhone 3G camera is 2008 camera.

How to tell if you have a 3G or 3GS
turn to the back
Check the storage label and “iPhone” if it’s chrome it’s a 3GS
if it’s grey it’s a 3G
Hope this helps
My first ever iPhone. It was cute but slow af and I couldn’t send or receive photos via text 🤦🏻♀️ that was a looong time ago. I’m currently watching this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max 😂
I recently purchased one of these for 10$, the black version, 16GB, not a single scratch, neither a crack.
I have iphone 3gs
unforgettable for me. This was my first iPhone and first Apple product.
The picture of the water was decent
This was my first iPhone and I still have it today. Unfortunately it has a cracked screen and portly cracked on the front speaker but none the less I still have it. I also have iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 Plus s and now I use iPhone 11 and I have iPod touch 7 gen
What about 3gs in 2021
I have a 3gs and i can not find a screen replacement ah sigh
Okay so you clearly don't know much about Android! Android basically uses custom version of the os for isp that gets 2-4 updates that are similar to Windows service packs. Google markets Android to the same people that Microsoft targets with Windows… Business enterprise. Microsoft has taken Android under its wing to help Google create a longer term version if Android that can receive major frame work updates without being installed from scratch. Apple could not be more alien to the concept of Windows or Android because apple is built of entertainment. The cognitive workings of apple operating system can be replaced with little consequence because all apple has to do is entertain it's user.
I don't remember if it was the iphone 3g or 3gs because that was the first phone I used to play some outdated mobile games like asphalt 4 asphalt 5 and real racing 1
It doesn’t even allow us to use wallpapers on the Home Screen 😂😭
Great for uploading this video!
No other latest iPhone can make me fill the coverflow when you flip it when listening music 😌
My favorite phone still have the IPHONE 3G
I loved this iPhone and it was my first one before I switched to the iPhone 5s & iPhone 6.
And for the record, you actually messed up on something. The video recording capability. Technically it can shoot videos without having to jailbreak. There’s an app called iVideoCamera and while yes, it is pretty bad but still, there was a nonjailbreak option.
Ngl that old camera could make for good aesthetic photos
I remember back in the days of when the iPhone 3G was around, these phones were very fun to play around with and use. I wanted one of these so bad in white. Very revolutionary for its time, you will soon find yourself appreciating it for not only the phone itself, but for its shape — especially the chrome bezel.
