Project 365: Day # 40 - Friday, October 14, 2011 "If you don't have an iPhone, well you don't have an iPhone"

Yes! Today's the day! The iPhone 4s went on sale at AT&T, Verizon, and now Sprint stores. Sprint now has the iPhone as a proud member of that carrier, I was beyond excited for the iPhone's release. I looked all over the internet at the plethora of photos and videos of people wating in large ques all over the world for the realease of the iPhone 4s. As mentioned in my proevious blog regarding the new phone, this was already considered to be the #1 smartphone in the world. The phone set an astounding record of over one million dollars from preordering costumers of the three carriers in 24 hours and selling out of the product online. I was expecting that sort of outcome for many reasons. This iPhone upgrade took the biggest leap in apple from the very first iPhone in 2007 and from the iPhone 4 in 2010. I remember Steve Job's keynote on the very first iPhone where he mentions that apple is going to reinvent the phone. And from that point, it was able to live up to that standard. But as of today in the year 2011, the apple company has come a long way to develope a smart phone such as this. Therefore it has gone far beyond reinventing the phone, but reinventing the idea of a smartphone. I was told that I was getting the phone on the day it was released, but I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be today. I mean this is the iPhone we're talking about. If it sold out in less than 24 hours and making a record breaking 1 million dollars in that duration, I can imagine what it would be like trying to buy the phone in person. So I waited for the school day to be over so that my perants would get me the phone. My father called me and said that I won;t be able to get the iPhone for three days for some reason. But he showed me the recipt for it therefore I didn't think three days was that bad. But my mother came home and she wanted to know how to work her video camera on her evo but what I didn't know is that she was vidoe taping my reaction of when I found my iPhone 4s in her purse. I was lost for words. Ever since the first iPhone came out I always said "I want that phone so bad!". But now, I have what is now the best smartphone in the world. I thought I was the happiest teen ever!
