Maybe it is just me, but iPhone in 2007 was revolutionary and mind-blowing. You had grown men crying and falling off their seats during the keynote. Before native apps, before GPS, before 3G—the iPhone blew people&#x27;s socks and changed the world. The critics and skeptics were quickly silenced in 2007. People broke contracts and paid extra fees! People switched carriers and put up with bad voice quality and dropped calls to continue owning one. Millions put up with a slow buggy phone. People didn&#x27;t have buyers remorse and return it en masse—they bought a new one each year! Year after year you had long lines at stores on launch day.<p>Does anyone else not remember this?!<p>From comments online, I find it really hard to believe that the world has collectively forgotten that. Did I live in a bubble, or is everyone else&#x27;s memory of 2007 just way off? From what I remembered, it was outright mass hysteria.<p>The watch, OTOH, just doesn&#x27;t excite people the same way. Critics and skeptics have not been silenced. It doesn&#x27;t even excite their owners the same way. People are buying and returning the watches. Owners are defensive when talking about the watch, instead of the cult-like adoration and mass hysteria  that followed the original iPhone.
