I\u2019ve spent an hour today reading many of the posts discussing the impact on us as a society and as individuals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;I heart iphone&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/828382161\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"I heart iphone\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"I heart iphone\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1349\/828382161_a4240f412b_z.jpg?zz=1\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve waited in line for nearly every iPhone except that rumored white iPhone 4S back in the day when i didn\u2019t get a 4S brand new but instead waited nearly until the iPhone 5 came out to finally get a white 4S. I regret waiting but that\u2019s that. I was first in line for the iPhone 1, 3GS, 6, 6S and 7. I ordered for delivery the iPhone 5 and 5S (to my knowledge). The iPhone 3G I was 5th in line for as my buddy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/tech\/Dale-Larson-First-Person-Line-iPhone-3G-San-Francisco-Apple-Store-1778406\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dale was first<\/a> and Nick was 4th. You can see us <a href=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3176\/2658222494_7813c3eaf0_b.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">all here..I\u2019m standing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from being first a few times, the iPhone hasn\u2019t been as impactful to me as it was to many of you. I actually miss the smaller developer ecosystem, the rise of mobile gaming and how it overwhelms the app store listings. I still think mobile gaming, iPhone photography and streaming music is a step back from what our technology is capable of with the only reason for its success is that its convenient. I only use the iPhone as a media player in my car, a navigation device while traveling and a recommendation device when I\u2019m in a foreign place and need a place to eat. I also use it for FourSquare and Untappd. That\u2019s the extent of my iPhone usage. I even switched to Blackberry last year and largely had no issue except it didn\u2019t support my work email so I had to go back to iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>I love the iPhone. It\u2019s the only modern mobile phone I\u2019ll use and I\u2019m not discounting its contributions to our world\u2026for me, it hasn\u2019t done much. The Mac is still the most important computing device in my life. I\u2019ve spent close to $8,000 on iPhones and another couple of grand on accessories and warranties since it was released. I\u2019m sure Apple appreciates that. It has helped me but not in a profound way as some of you have seen your lives change. To me, it\u2019s still just a very capable cell phone with too short of a battery life (which is why I\u2019m always plugged in).<\/p>\n<p>I still use my iPod Classic weekly (and wish it had Bluetooth) and I seriously miss the hardware keyboards on my Treo and Blackberry:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Updating my treo&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/831704556\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"Updating my treo\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Updating my treo\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1271\/831704556_f810b0ccd1_z.jpg?zz=1\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;New work phone&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/986850221\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"New work phone\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"New work phone\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1119\/986850221_e531693e30_z.jpg?zz=1\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;New iPod!&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/1434631374\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"New iPod!\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"New iPod!\"  width=\"480\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1218\/1434631374_1a869a7105_z.jpg?zz=1\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even a month after the iPhone came out, I was still pictured below using a real-camera and that hasn\u2019t changed:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;me y laura&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/1461083162\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"me y laura\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"me y laura\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"480\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1406\/1461083162_a5d4045dac_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"Bought a Canon 5D Mark III\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Bought a Canon 5D Mark III\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"480\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/304\/19533847359_1aea879c4e_z.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>One thing I can agree on is that Siri is a major part of my life now and it controls every part of my home. I talk to Siri almost exclusively via my Apple Watch which is by extension a part of iPhone and I think Siri and mobile computing hasn\u2019t reached its full potential yet. We are truly still getting started.<\/p>\n<p>There may be a day when Bluetooth, WiFi and Cloud-based services are better than local hard-wired devices with physical buttons and large camera sensors.
