        The Iphone entered the marked in 2007, before that is what entirely possible to connect a PDA to the internet via you dumbphone (using IRC from my palm pilot in the 90s surely felt cool…)

          My phone can literally be used as VR goggles and stream HD video pretty much anywhere in the country. But smart phones existed in 07 and PDAs existed in the 90s. Yeah, no difference between these things. lol.

          You don’t think there’s any difference between today’s phones and the 2007 ones? Not in cell coverage either?

            Not in terms of navigating a city, which have had universal coverage since the flip phone days.

            Also, just an FYI: GPS has had global coverage since the 1970s and doesn’t require a cell signal at all.

            Smart phone advancements have been incremental since they were released, very little had changed in terms of basic functionality. The biggest difference is that you can listen to music while your getting navigated now.
