There is nothing about the hardware for this phone. I believe there should be two seperate areas in the article that talk about the phones hardware. One that talks about the buttons, screen, and camera and another that talks about the phone's internal hardware. If just one part talks about all the hardware, then that should be sufficient.

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:PlayStation (console) which is relevant to this page. Thank you. Marcus Qwertyus 23:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
I didn't see any kind of information on the specifications of original iPhone camera. Can someone who knows it can add it, please? bladez ( talk) 13:15, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
This (awkward) sentence: "Steve Jobs, CEO at Apple Inc., conceived an idea of using a multi-touch touchscreen to interact with a computer in a way in which he could type directly onto the display, essentially removing the physical keyboard and mouse, the same as a tablet computer." essentially says that Steve Jobs invented the virtual/onscreen keyboard. Really??? Doubtful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.27.226.98 ( talk) 16:26, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Steve Jobs did not concieve of a touch screen concept! Nokia had a touchscreen phone years before the iphone. This is VERY SLOPPY Wikipedia! Fix this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.73.88.73 ( talk) 19:55, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
IBM Simon says hi from 1993 also. /info/en/?search=IBM_Simon I agree the article makes it seem like steve jobs invented touch computers and phones, while it doesnt outright say it, these devices existed long before he "conceived" them in his mind. 24.61.67.38 ( talk) 15:08, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move per request.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 13:18, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
IPhone (original) → IPhone (1st generation) – Conveniently matches iPad (1st generation), (3rd) and (4th). Apple might also go with its Macbook naming convention at some point for the iPhone. Marcus Qwertyus ( talk) 02:38, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Armbrust The Homunculus 23:26, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
IPhone (1st generation) → iPhone (first generation) – The iPad series was recently moved to spelled out ordinals (e.g. iPad (first generation), iPad (third generation), iPad (fourth generation)). I have no opinion about which is the common name but spelled out is recommended by WP:ORDINAL, and is preferred in AP Style (up to nine) and Chicago Style (up to ninety-nine). The first-generation iPhone is more of a straight-forward case than the iPad situation since Apple identifies the two later iPad generations as "3rd," and "4th"; the original iPhone is not identified at all on its website as far as I can tell.

Why is everything say 1968 on this page, is it vandalism or programming error ? Spike82 ( talk) 03:49, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:IPod Touch (fifth generation) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 03:30, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi, it seems that Apple discontinued the ability to connect first gen iphones to iTunes.... I've looked and looked online and couldn't find anything that approaches WP:RS to support this--so it's just a personal observation. Maybe some iPhone cultees can verify better than I? If so, it would be appropriate to put in the article. -- 108.45.56.173 ( talk) 20:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
IPhone (1st generation). Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

On the page it says that the Iphone was released on January 18th 2018. I will fix it myself but i wanted to warn anyone following this page of any potential vandalism. Tamblingb ( talk) 20:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Of the various "colloquial" names listed in the lede, only "iPhone 2G" should be kept. The rest—"first-generation iPhone", "iPhone (original)", and "iPhone 1"—are very common or obvious terms that do not need to be mentioned. For instance, Star Wars (film) doesn't mention the obvious fact that it is sometimes referred to as "the original Star Wars", nor does iPhone mention the obvious fact that it is sometimes referred to as "Apple iPhone". InfiniteNexus ( talk) 00:08, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
A section of the article claims that "The iPhone was the first handheld device to combine a multimedia player, telephone, and internet browsing capability on a touchscreen display."
However, the LG Prada seems to fit the description too, being released before the iPhone. NiceWikiEditor5 ( talk) 23:27, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
Good point. I suggest we edit to "one of the first", or the like, while maintaining the fact that the iPhone was the most successful. LG Prada was introduced Dec. 2006, and the iPhone in Jan. 2007, which is not far off. Many argue the IBM Simon was the first, but that didn't have true internet/app functionality. -- Curivity ( talk) 20:24, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
I wonder if this is an IPhone and whether it's a 1st gen one. Профессор кислых щей ( talk) 10:12, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
When the original iPhone was released, the major criticism was that it didn't have the (already ubiquitous) 3G connectivity of other smartphones, which was seen as an unusual choice for a device sold on internet consumption. The article makes a brief mention of one Telco's slow 2.5G network but doesn't explicitly mention the absence of 3G from what I can see.
Would anyone with a more engaging writing style care to add? 146.199.8.40 ( talk) 12:36, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
