I owned one shortly after launch day. It was absolutely blazing fast, especially compared with the Moto Q I had just come from. Not the mobile internet speed, of course, the speed of the interface. It was completely smooth and fast unlike any other phone at the time.
- alphabettsy 3y agoThe Moto Q was particularly slow, I had one. Not a great comparison imo. The interface was buttery smooth, everything else was ok especially before the App Store. Once you had third-party apps I remember being disappointed. The 3GS was fast, the original was not. Regardless most of the comment, including that bit imo, is complete revisionism. Almost every review of the original iPhone talks about the imperfection and promise of it.
- phmqk76 3y agoUh, it’s revisionism to say that third party apps were slow, and therefore the iPhone was slow, when the iPhone was out for an entire year before the App Store launched. I’m talking about the original iPhone at launch, not capability that was added a year later. I don’t care what the reviews said, I had one and experienced it, after several years of owning other phones. The reviews also moaned loudly about the software keyboard, which I thought was great on day one. It’s not revisionism that I (and lots of other people) have a different opinion of the iPhone launch than you do.
