Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear iPhone . . .
Happy birthday to you! Cha Cha Cha!
Today marks the five year birthday of the iPhone, and I would say that plenty of people out there are so happy the iPhone was “born”. Did you know that 75% of the smartphone market – a whopping 218 million users – are on the iPhone? Including me (finally)!
I was almost the last of the Wild Web Women (ahem, Lorrie) to switch over and I cannot imagine my life without it! So I wrote this Ode to the iPhone in honor of this special day:
you are myEyes (camera)
you are myEars (phone)
you are myScheduler (calender)
you are myReminder (alerts)
you are myConnector (texts)
you are myFun-When-I-am-Waiting-Somewhere (games)
you are myEncyclopedia (internet)
you are myGuide (maps)
you are myTimekeeper (clock, stopwatch, timer)
iPhone: I am so glad you are myPhone
you are always there for me
What does your iPhone do for you? Tell me in the comments below!

How do I love the iPhone… let me count the ways…
Aside from several of the functions you mentioned…
- The wifi hotspot – that came in handy recently when my router/modem was fried!
- Random apps to keep me organized – Goodreads, myfitnesspal, etc…
- Skydrive (most would use iCloud) – to access my documents from my iphone (or anywhere with a connection!)
- The alarm function
- Audiobooks from iTunes
- Hootsuite app – check in to social media on the go!
I’m considering leaving it at home while camping in a couple of weeks – am I strong enough? We’ll see!
Thanks for a great article!
