iPhone, Eight Years to The Day

iPhone Activation on June 29 2007

The original iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007. I was one of the “few” people who waited in line to get one at the Apple Store. The line was reasonably long, but the buying process was really quick. I spent roughly 5 minutes to finalize the transaction. I walked out with two iPhones, one for my colleague and one for me.

Today marks the eight anniversary of the release of the original iPhone.
