Just take a tone at that shot above and attempt to witness a telephone set that is n’t an iPhone . It ’s got ta be a disc for the most iPhones recording a unmarried moment . I can blemish a couple of Galaxy and Pixel phones , but the expectant majority of telephone set used to capture the second are iPhones . It ’s operose to key incisively which pattern the great unwashed are using , but there seem to be a bunch of iPhone 12/13/14 Pros , some iPhone 12/13/14 poser , and even a few iPhone SEs .
It ’s a remarkable testament to the immense popularity of the iPhone and how much has changed in the 20 years since Lebron enter the league . Back in 2003 , the iPhone did n’t even exist , and the first mannequin that came out in 2007 had a 2MP camera that could n’t even take television . Now the iPhone is a tool for capturing chronicle as it stretch .
One of the only hoi polloi not reaching for their iPhone as the big moment arrive ? Nike founder Phil Knight , sit down in the front quarrel next to Lebron ’s sons , Bronny and Bryce , both of whom seize the second with their iPhones .
