Like 15 years ago my wife had one of these and she was a teacher f0r 12-13 yo and one of them asked “what is that” and other answer “an iphone, the really old ones, was not even a phone yet”. That interaction still haunts my wife.

The first iPhone didn’t have access to an app store, it was basically an iPod and a feature phone that got Tuvixed.

Yes but with a decent web browser.

The app store came soon after and is what really kicked things off. It was popular as a phone before the app store. It was a phenomenon once there was an app store. Queues overnight on the street.to buy one.
