There’s plenty to admire in the iPhone X straight from the unboxing. The biggest change stares you in the face: that screen, that screen.
I love iPhones. I love iPhone 6 Pluses and iPhone 6s and iPhone 5s’s and iPhone 5cs. I also love iPhone 4s. I’m sure if I had been savvy enough to own one, I would’ve loved the original iPhone.
When I’m at home, I like to put records on, but because I travel a lot, I listen to a lot of music on my iPhone.
I think you can make a gorgeous movie on any piece of equipment. Look at ‘Tangerine,’ which is a beautiful movie shot on an iPhone. You see so many movies that are impeccably shot but are vapid, and there’s no audience for that except for other cinematographers who just like to watch two-hour-long music videos.
A seductive technology that works like a dream and improves lives will set off a consumer clamor, whether the new tool is an iPhone 4S or an implantable blood-sugar meter.
I like the map feature on the iPhone that tells me where I am, because I travel a lot.
When we started work on the iPhone, the motivation there was we all pretty much couldn’t stand our phones, and we wanted a better phone.
We were doing mobile games before the iPhone. We were doing free-to-play with ‘Quake Live.’ We wanted to do massively multiplayer stuff in the early days but didn’t have the resources to do it.
Since I first got my iPhone and ‘Super Monkey Ball’ came out, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is great.’ I’m always searching for the nirvana of mobile gaming, whether that’s from a Game Boy or a Vita or a PSP or now the Switch.
I own a Canon 20D, though I don’t remember the last time I used it. Ever since the iPhone 4, I’ve been completely absorbed in taking photos from my mobile phone.
Being closed to outsiders made the iPhone reliable and predictable.
I love my iPhone – I’ve actually gotten into games, and I find them really relaxing. Don’t laugh at me, but I have ‘Sally’s Spa’ – fantastic; ‘Penguin Catapult’ – it’s great; and ‘Word Solitaire’ is my new favorite.
The iPhone calendar isn’t bad, but it isn’t great, either. It only offers a day view and a month view – it doesn’t have a week view, which drives me crazy.
I actually think it’s against the rules at Vox Media to work there if you’ve never dropped an iPhone.
With the iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, and iMac, Apple is the most powerful tech company in the world. It’s also the No. 1 music retailer in the U.S. and among the top sellers of online movies, too.
If you look at people who have an iPhone or Android and are under 40 and are dissatisfied with their bank, it’s actually quite a large market.
Before recording my ‘Homeland’ audition on my iPhone in my bedroom in Streatham, I hadn’t worked or had an audition in the U.K. for nine months.
Technology writers are seldom subject to frenzied, Beatlemania-esque paroxysms of public attention. June 29, 2007, was the exception. I was in the wrong place – Apple’s Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan – with the right device. The iPhone.
As Android, iPhone and other mobile platforms grow, we are moving away from the page-based Internet. The new Internet is app centric and often message-centric.
I had an iPhone, and then I’d forget my iPhone at home, and I’d be like, ‘God, I feel so good. I’m having such a good day.’ And then I’d realize, ‘Oh – it’s because I’m not checking my email nineteen thousand times.’
Echoes of the iPhone are everywhere. Xiaomi’s phones and Google’s new Pixel are designed to fool you into thinking that they just might be an iPhone.
I think the iPhone is the best consumer product ever. That’s what I feel about it. And it’s become so integrated and integral to our lives, you wouldn’t think about leaving home without it.
I just got an iPhone, which is cool, but I don’t download movies, I don’t watch Hulu, I don’t have Netflix. I don’t do any of that. But I do geek out to music.
I use my notes app on my iPhone religiously, and I have one note just for movies. Every time I see a movie I think I’m going to want to watch, I’ll put it in there.
It’s weird: people used to want your autograph; now what they want to do is to take your photograph with an iPhone. And sometimes they’ll pop their arm around you to hold their iPhone; they’re shaking when they take it.
We want to reinvent the phone. What’s the killer app? The killer app is making calls! It’s amazing how hard it is to make calls on most phones. We want to let you use contacts like never before – sync your iPhone with your PC or mac.
Despite probably needing one, I don’t have a therapist. Why spend the money on my mental health when I can do far more productive things such as purchase iPhone apps and pay off parking tickets?
The worst thing for me as a filmmaker is to watch on the iPhone but you can’t stop it. I think you have to adapt to it.
My iPhone was blowing up with notifications that I had became a superstar overnight. It changed my life and I was hiding after that to avoid unnecessary talk.
I think right now it’s a battle for the mindshare of developers and for the mindshare of customers, and right now iPhone and Android are winning that battle.
I’m interested in helping secure the PC – we need innovation here. It’s not just hug your PC, hate the iPhone. In fact I don’t even hate the iPhone; I think it’s really cool. I just don’t want it to be the center of the ecosystem along with the Web 2.0 apps.
Sometime when I’m on the road, if I hear an idea, a melody in my head on the iPhone we got the voice memos. So I just record the melody or sound or the whole idea for a record.
My iPhone has changed my life – I spend hours taking photos of the sidewalk as I walk down the street. I like the casualness, that it’s low-resolution.
Content is supposed to be king. But in the world of electronic devices, Apple seems to be placing the crown on its own head, apparently believing that its iPad and iPhone are more important to customers than the books, movies, and music they store on them.
Everybody has their iPhone cameras, BlackBerry cameras, and I see those cameras pointed up at me all the time now, which is actually really good because of what it does for me and my band. There is no time for us not to be on our toes because they’re on all the time whenever you’re playing. I think it’s very healthy.
As Apple continues to release new styles of netbooks, laptops, and even desktops with untold movie-watching and game-playing capabilities, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the iPhone operating system running on them – and the Macintosh eventually becoming a thing of the past.
The two things I use the most are the MacBook Air and my iPhone. Those are my two most-used gadgets that are dented, scratched and smashed.
I’m not convinced that stealing an iPhone is a felony or stealing a bike is a felony.
I put together an iPhone app called TrimIt and released that in July 2011. About a month later, the private fund of the Hong Kong billionaire Li-Kashing cold emailed me and expressed an interest to invest, but they didn’t realize I was 15. They thought it was a U.K. company with a team.
You’re going to pull out your phone and try to use whatever is the most appropriate app on your iPhone or your Android device. Yelp saw that very early on. And when we launched the mobile product, we saw immediate growth, and we were stunned.
You buy a new iPhone, a few months later, another new iPhone comes out, and you get online to buy another one. You can’t get enough. You are addicted to Apple.
Ridley Scott was part of the production team on ‘The Good Wife.’ I auditioned on my iPhone, and it moved very quickly after that, as they thought I was right for the role, and pretty soon I was filming in Iceland for two months.
I just write verses. I don’t write all day long. When I have something that needs to be said, I just write it down on my notepad in my iPhone.
What’s really going on is, on your iPhone, you have 200 apps, and they’re all collecting a little data on you. Twitter knows a certain thing, Foursquare knows something else, my Fitbit app knows something else, my Waze app knows something else.
I am a geek dad, believe me. I’ve got my iPad with me; I’ve got my iPhone 4; I’ve got my Xbox. I love technology and I want to feel like I’m living in the future, and these devices help me feel that way.
It’s very hard to explain to people who don’t program, but the object-oriented programming system made programming the Mac and iPhone so easy.
Because people don’t understand what computing is about, they think they have it in the iPhone, and that illusion is as bad as the illusion that ‘Guitar Hero’ is the same as a real guitar.
I can’t live without my iPhone.
I am here talking to ‘Rolling Stone’ because of an iPhone. Music has transformed because of Apple.
I don’t understand how I can pay $299 for iPhone and then get in my car and still have to turn knobs.
You have lines of people outside Apple stores waiting for the latest iPhone, which adds to the hype around new product launch. So scarcity has value not just in its own right, but as a basis for free PR – it can become a story on the nightly news.
Big screens helped propel Samsung to top-tier prominence and helped iPhone sales explode a few years later. But for many, including myself, the biggest-screen models just weren’t practical, because their overall size made them too large, too bulky, and too heavy.
