Mobile web browsing on the iPhone was the first device where it was actually usable…
It’s helped drive the mobile web to the point where i’ve completely changed the way i stay connected with my family in south america, by being able to check news, email etc wherever I am!
It used to be that I was on-line 8 hours a day. Now the iPhone has extended that to the bathroom, bed, bus, etc. i.e. 18 frikkin’ hours a day.
since I still don’t have one, I stay awake at night thinking about its awesomeness and how I can undertake epic actions to rescue the world from numerous dangers lurking around with my trusty iphone companion. soon … I then say, soon I’ll own my very own…
It has allowed me to keep my schedule and to-do list with me at all times., and allowed me to stay online at places where it was not possible before be it on the iPhone itself or via tethering!
The iPhone has made it easy to keep all of my important info in my pocket (get you head out of the gutter) with me at all times. Oh, and it’s fun.
The money that I have saved from not having to power on my computer for checking email, .casual web surfing, etc. has more than likely far exceeded the cost of my iPhone. I love it.
I love that I can watch a movie in bed without disturbing my partner before I fall asleep. I hate that I don’t read anymore before going to bed.
Keeping me more connected to loved ones and business associates. So nice not always having to power up the laptop to stay up to date. Can’t wait to, one-day, upgrade to the iPhone 4.
I love having all the information on the internet available anytime. It has made me much more productive. And I never get lost! But at the same time, access to all those games has made me less productive at times. I can’t live without it!
My iPhone has changed my life so much. I now have a decent reliable camera and video camera with me at all times to catch the fleeting moments of my young sons life. I don’t have to worry about being without something to catch those precious moments.
I’ve used it in place of the GPS unit in my car, saving me from having to have three power connectors. It also replaced the OnStar service I had saving me even more money. I’ve also reduced the number of CD’s I have with me down to 0 as I use my iPhone as my iPod.
It’s allowed me to get answers immediately online when an issue comes up and I’m away from home, I have used it to schedule, track, fix, just about everything.
I’m able to get notices from the wife and family via e-mail quickly and easily wherever I am and able to do so much more without having to worry if I’ve left something at home when I travel.
When my kids get bored there’s an app for that.
I can now do just about anything related to computing any where, any time. Can be a blessing and a curse.
I can now work from anywhere…..AAAAAHHHHH!
I can stay connected to the cloud from everywhere!!!!
my iPhone has completely changed how, when and where I can access the internet and all of my data
The iPhone has changed my life in so many positive ways. I’m almost permanently connected to friends and family through messaging/social networking apps (e.g., Facebook/WhatsApp) and location services (e.g., Loopt) by way of App Store offerings, which makes for more fulfilling living in my case. My exploratory/social butterfly nature has received a tremendous boost thanks to participation in user feedback w/ apps like Yelp and of course the video capabilities of my 3GS for blogging/sharing the things going on around me. My personal and professional life is more organized thanks to iPhone multi-calendars functionality, email availability, and App Store To-Do apps; and as a result of my passion for the iPhone, I’ve begun the process of learning how to develop apps for the device, thus increasing my professional worth and level of personal growth through knowledge-gain. The phone has truly been the instrument through which the old me morphed into the more responsible, more accessible, more well-rounded me. Can’t get that with a flip phone, baby! 😉 lol
I guess I am the only one who is going to be honest. PORN ANYWHERE YOU WANT IT!!!
My iPhone keeps my pockets from being full. It has eliminated me carrying an iPod, a cell phone (non smart), a notebook, a pen and pencil, a pocket calendar, a calculator, and a flashlight. Before the iPhone, I used to carry all of that. Now if only they could innovate it so I needn’t carry a wallet, keys handkerchief the one ring and pocket knife I would only have the iPhone in my pocket.
It transformed me into a mini Macenstein 🙂
I used to be nervous and jerky, but now I’m not nervous anymore.
It keeps my wife occupied!!!
it’s like a swiss army knife of awesome built into your phone, that’ll change anyone’s life.
Instant access to any data from anywhere? It’s the closest to a direct-to-brain implant as we’ll get for the next decade.
It changed everything! It made me skinnier, grew my hair back, made women flock to me, ended world hunger and the arms race. It’s just made heaven on Earth.
I have a terrible sense of direction, but the maps feature has truly changed the way i drive. I feel it doesn’t matter how screwed up I get, I always have the chance of saving myself
People are always putting impossible problems to me and saying: “Don’t have an app for THAT do ya’.”
Integration. A phone, a pda, an excellent music player, a great portable gaming console, all in one place… But most of all, that I can always prove to my friends just how superior my iPhone is when compared to their generic Nokias and Motorolas
Legal evidence: My friend has been abused for years now. Having access to the internet, background check, Facebook (which surprisingly has produced valid legal documentation), the geotagging feature with the camera, and much more has been the best tool for building a case against her abuser. The proof of contempt from all of this is going to keep two kids from being abused when he gets locked up.
I text now. Never could before.
After graduating college, I was able to purchase an iPhone and immediately use its strengths to fuel my career. By exercising my mobile networking prowess on the go, I quickly built a network in NYC and landed a job with benefits. Not that it couldn’t be done at my desk, but come on, this phone has changed my life for the better!
It has provided me with a second computer and given me an additional communication tool when when other tools (home phone, PC,) weren’t available.
I stopped spending time with my kids as I have to give most of my waking hours to holding and looking at my iPhone.
My time at my desk has been dropped by 80%.
It has most definitely helped me “Lighten the Load” at work. Being in Law Enforcement, I have always had to carry around about 20 lbs of books for quick reference. Now, because of my 3Gs, I have all of my reference materials in the palm of my hand. I also receive updates to laws sooner as it takes a while to get the new books. Add to that, always being connected to the news, weather, family, friends, etc, my iPhone makes me wonder how I did it all before. Oh, and I never have to rack my brain when I have that “what was the name of that movie, song, etc” moment ever again. I just whip out the trusty 3Gs and in an instant, my mind is satisfied.
My iPhone has changed my life on all of the standard ways, keeping me connected, allowing me to capture all of life’s many events, and it even keeps me organized
However, the biggest way the iPhone has changed my life is by allowing me to get rid of my old Razr v3. Any of you who have ever used this phone, know what a wonder it is to finally ditch it.
I no longer carry my personal laptop when I go on business travel
I also get to play Words with Friends
It really was a revelation when I realized that I could check my email and check the web from anyplace. For better or worse, I’m always in touch. Plus, I can watch Geekbrief podcasts in the, umm, anyplace I want.
My iphone 3GS was my first apple product, and I’ll continue with apple in the future in phones, and eventually change over with laptops also. I’m very impressed with the functions of my phone.
No more lugging my laptop and taking it out if my bag at security. I always have directions wherever I am.
Being able to watch march madness games in realtime on my iphone while my grandma was in the hospital was for sure a life changer. it opened up the possibilities available to me with my iphone and how i can manage my interests and day to day activities relatively.
its kept me from getting lost in big cities. the Maps app has got me out of hectic moments when in unfamiliar territory. so it really has become my safety net. also keeps me from being out of the loopt when not at a computer because of its always on network connection. best experience ive had with owning a cell phone.
its made me a much more social person because its just such a hassle free experience to make or receive a call, that i am no longer avoid phone calls.
The iPhone has changed the way I go about day to day life. Apps that help me when I’m shopping or going out to eat.. When I am in new towns or cities I have never been in before I can quickly find information about where I am at and what is around me. I cannot remember when we / I didn’t have all of this information in the palm of our hands. I don’t get lost as much as I used to.
Changed my life a LOT! Apps keep my friends entertained in my car so they don’t ruin it and drive me crazy.
Internet everywhere – that’s just cool!
I love my Iphone, I don’t know how I managed without one before. So many useful and entertaining apps. It saved us from being lost in Detroit last week, just by using the map app.
Hey! My iPhone 3GS was a god send! It has organized my life in so many ways. From my class schedule to my social life. The GPS has gotten me out of some tricky situations.
My iPhone allows me to stay in touch with my father, who lives alone, far away from me, my mom and stepdad, and over the years, the girlfriends I’ve had. The first girlfriend I graduated high school before me, and my iPhone allowed me to stay in contact with her. It’s made me closer to all of the important people in my life like no mobile device before it, and for that I am eternally grateful.
