We’ve had phones since 2014.

If you talk about smartphones, the first one - the LG Prada - released in 2007.

True, what I should have said was I’ve had a phone since 2014, but is garbled sentence now.

Wait what? Has Apple successfully stolen LG's valor? I could have sworn it was the iPhone in 2007.

I'm actually kind of shocked that I wasn't aware of this phone.

Edit: you know, I've never been a huge fan of Apple or Steve Jobs, and I know he pretty much stole every idea they ever had... But for some reason I always gave them credit with the iPhone.

Apparently he stole that too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada

The LG Prada was announced shortly before Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPhone on 9 January 2007.[10][11][12] After the release of the iPhone the head of the LG Mobile Handset R&D Center was quoted saying he believed Apple had stolen the idea from the Prada after it was announced as part of the iF Design Award, where it won a prize in March 2007.[13][14]
