hey guys this is Austin with eight years of evolution how does the new 6s compare with the 1st gen I phone the first thing you'll notice is just how little things have changed it's clear Apple settled on a basic design back in 2007 and have focused on tweaks cents which makes the first gen surprisingly familiar the newer iPhone is bigger and thinner but they both share the same curve it's like someone flattened an original iPhone to make the 6s something that isn't as impressive is the 3.5 inch 320 by 480 display it's still totally usable but side-by-side with the newer iPhone it's clear just how far smartphone screens have come there are a few weird quirks like a headphone jack that's recessed enough to make some headphones not fit but compared to other phones of its time it's held up remarkably well what I really want to know is can you even use an original iPhone these days the first thing is to get it on a network with the help of a nano-sim adapter the iPhone jumps right onto AT&T it's limited to edge but you can still text like any other phone and the smaller size of the iPhone actually makes it nice for phone calls data is slow over 2g but if you're patient it does work and you can connect it to Wi-Fi as well one big advantage of the success are the apps the first iPhone was only updated to iPhone OS 3.1.3 which means the vast majority of apps in the store aren't supported this includes basically everything from the last few years there are a few old-school apps and games that will run but you'll be forced to use the browser for the most part most default apps work like Google Maps but you'll have to use the web player for YouTube which is a little sketchy sometimes apps aside the biggest difference between the 6s and the original iPhone is speed certain parts of the original iPhone actually aren't bad scrolling through a web page in Safari is actually pretty smooth and pinch-to-zoom works just fine when it comes to actually loading a site though there's a massive difference the success is just night and day faster than the 2007 era iPhone while iOS at its core is very similar to the iPhone OS days there are tons of features missing like multitasking notifications are also straight out of the Stone Age and simple things like changing the background hadn't been added yet with a whopping 2 megapixel camera the iPhone won't set any records for the best smartphone camera but it is usable there's no manual control so what you get is what you get but with decent light you can get an okay shot a lot of the shots look like they've just got a really questionable Instagram filter on and compared to the success it's well there's not much to compare there might not be video but I've got to say working with such a limited camera is actually kind of fun looking at how far things have come in the last eight years the success is undoubtedly a better phone what's impressive is just how well the first iPhone holds up design is on point and it can do basically everything a modern smartphone can just much more slowly if you're interested in something slightly more up to date my buddy Jon from TLD did a comparison between the iPhone 6 and 6s you guys can check out in the card right up here anyway what do you guys think about the original iPhone and the iPhone 6s definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and I will catch you guys in the next one
