Anyone still clinging onto the original iPhone got some bad news yesterday: AT&T announced that it shut down its 2G network
on January 1st, 2017. That means any original iPhone 2G owners will
finally have to say goodbye to their devices, which will no longer
receive cellular service on AT&T’s network.
The 2G shutdown has been planned for a few years
at this point, and judging by the lack of outcry when the network
stopped working over two weeks ago, it doesn’t seem to have had a huge
impact in today’s world of 3G and LTE networks. AT&T notes that the
2G shut down will free up resources and spectrum bandwidth for the
network to use for future rollouts of more advanced wireless solutions
like 5G down the line, which is probably a good thing.
But still, after a 10-year run, it’s still a little sad
to have to finally say goodbye to the iconic original iPhone. (That
said, if you’re still using an OG iPhone for some reason, maybe consider getting an iPhone 7? You’ll find Apple’s made a couple of upgrades since 2007.)
