21 Feels We Have About The iPhone On Its 10th Anniversary

It’s hard to imagine a world without iPhones, but that was the case just ten years ago. On June 29, 2007, Steve Jobs announced Apple would be launching a smartphone—and the rest is history. For better or worse, we can’t live without our iPhones in our pockets, so here are 21 feels on its 10th anniversary.

1. Amazed by how much the iPhone has changed in the last 10 years.

How did we live before the fingerprint sensor?

2. Excited (but confused) whenever a new model is released.

Spoiler: we’ll most likely buy it anyway.

3. #Blessed with the iPhone’s great camera for selfies. 

Being able to change exposure was a game-changer.

4. Furious when those 3 little gray dots appear and then disappear.

A violation of basic texting ettiquette, tbh.

5. Glad that Siri has always got our back.

What would we do without her?

6. Sad when you have to put it away during class. 

Aziz has a point.

7. Overwhelmed when the group iMessage is blowing up. 

You can’t scroll fast enough.

8. Thankful that emojis make communication so efficient. 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

9. So done with “low battery” notifications.

It was fully charged, like, 30 minutes ago!

10. Glad that it made gifs like this possible. 

What would we do without quality dog memes?

11. Terrified when we drop it.

Praying the screen didn’t shatter.

12. Badass whenever we figure out a new iOS trick. 

It’s like a neverending scavenger hunt.

13. Impatient when you get hit with the loading screen. 

This is 2017!

14. Thrilled when rose gold became a color option. 

Everything else if our life is rose gold, so why shouldn’t our phone be?

15. Savage when we turn on read receipts. 

Facebook isn’t the only place to get left on “seen.”

16. Annoyed whenever a new iOS version comes out.

 Ain’t nobody got time for that.

17. Lost when too many apps are open.

 That’s probably why we keep getting all those “low battery” notifications

18. So extra sending iMessages with effects

But who doesn’t love some fireworks with their texts?

19. Organized af when we add an iCal event

We might still be late, though.

20. In love with our iPhone

Same, Pusheen. same.

21. Grateful that Steve Jobs invented it back in 2007.

Lifechanging.
