Unboxing the 2nd generation iPhone: the iPhone 3G This was my first iPhone and my 2nd Apple device. I got it in 2008 and used it until 2010 when I've upgraded to an iPhone 3Gs. The home button barely works anymore, the OS is laggy but it works... The iPhone 3G was the first iPhone to be sold internationally. What's more, it was the 1st affordable iPhone, costing only 200$ compared to around 800$ which was the price of the 1st generation iPhone.
