It was released in October 2011, so it's almost 4 years old now. Still going strong, and runs the latest version of iOS (8), but it does feel a bit slow. The screen also feels a bit small, especially compared to my wife's iPhone 6. No electronics at your workplace? That's an interesting policy. Is it something to do with security, or they just want you to focus on work? Here's why I love having a smartphone. It's changed the way I: * take notes (Evernote) and make todo lists (Wunderlist) * communicate with friends & family (WhatsApp, Messenger), and teammates (Slack) * get directions (Google Maps, Maps.me) * manage travel and accommodation (Uber, AirBnb) * translate conversations and menus overseas (Google Translate, WordLens) * learn new languages (DuoLingo) * take photos and videos - which are automatically synced and backed up on iCloud * secure my online services (Google Authenticator, LastPass) * manage my finances on demand (online banking apps) * track my health and fitness (MyFitnessPal and Moves) Not to mention the fact that I'm currently working on my startup's smartphone app.
