Lowered the IQ bar necessary to access the internet. Turned the average internet user from some based guy in his basement to young people.

There was no IQ bar to use the internet. What really changed was where people could access the internet, that is to say everywhere. It blurred the line between reality and social media for normalfags since they were effectively online 24/7.

>There was no IQ bar to use the internet
There really was. You didnt have the 1998 equivalent of zoomers getting online on windows 98.

You're right about the places you could access the internet though. It used to be you were chained to one specific place to access it so the internet and real life were different things.

>You didnt have the 1998 equivalent of zoomers getting online on windows 98
Yeah but we're not talking about 1998 we're talking about 2007

$399 for a phone? Fully subsidized? With a plan???

>It turned the Internet into a social status symbol and therefore got women interested in it, which ruined society in ways we don't even realize yet
>The proliferation of Internet access created entire new industries dedicated to mining a dopamine feedback loop and outrage addiction, leading to our current perdition: a race to the bottom of perversion, faggotry, narcissism, censorship, and celebrity idolatry

Nothing, Samsung is twice as expensive and 2 generations behind constantly.
t. samshit owner since 2011

that calculator is what’s BS, 30% if not more is about how much inflation there’s been since just 2020

Nothing the iPhone line has been a riotous success for Apple. As far as the effect the smartphone has had on society if Apple hadn't done it another company would have. It was an inevitability

>$400 in 2008 is equal to $522 in 2022

Any Forums everyone

this, it's called inflation... keep your shekels in crypto mates. Even if crypto prices stay the same, at least it will protect you against the fed money printers going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Now Biden needs a war to force some 3rd world shithole to buy the excess USDs and give them oil. But good luck attacking Russia in Ukraine..

If the iPhone came out today it'd wouldn't be $500, it'd be $799 + Jew. As evidenced by the latest non-pro iPhone being on sale right now for $799.
