A [look back from techhive.com](https://www.techhive.com/article/2000186/iphone-turns-5-today.html?ref=chrisenns.com) including a link to [this article from Macworld chief Jason Snell](https://www.macworld.com/article/1167465/iphone%5Ffive%5Fyears%5Fin%5Four%5Fpockets.html?ref=chrisenns.com):

> I had to laugh at one feature omission I complained about five years ago: “It would be nice if Safari allowed users to upload certain kinds of content in order to, for example, post pictures taken with the iPhone’s built-in camera to the Flickr photo-sharing site.” Five years later, that feature is slated to be part of the iOS 6 update this fall. See? Sometimes patience is rewarded.

Up until this year, I hadn't realized that the iPhone and [my son](https://www.flickr.com/photos/lemon/7430100042?ref=chrisenns.com) are the same age.[1](#fn-20530:1) I didn't get an iPhone until the iPhone 4 came out but looking at my iPhoto and/or Flickr library, 90% of the photos since then are from an iPhone.
