A really, really long list of things that iPhone replaced
The list is really long, so let’s begin: iPhone 4S incorporated the crazy amount of capabilities previously provided by other technologies/devices:
- 50 pounds of books (via Kindle, iBooks)
- Kindle e-reader
- Daily newspaper
- Digital camera
- Holga film camera (via Instagram, ToyCamera app)
- Pocket foreign language dictionaries
- Scanner (via Genius Scan)
- Bank ATMs (via USAA’s app, which allows deposits via snapshot)
- GPS device
- Road maps / printouts from Mapquest and Google Maps
- Reporter’s notebook (I find tapping out notes isn’t any slower than writing them)
- Voice recorder
- Handwritten grocery lists (via DropBox-syncing Plaintext)
- Nintendo DS
- iPod
- Radio (via NPR app / Hype Machine / iTunes / Spotify / Pandora)
- Paper comics (via Comixology)
- Set-top box remote (via the Roku app)
- Paper receipt file (via EZ receipts)
