50 Things the iPhone Replaces

With the next iPhone coming out later this year, I was thinking about all of the things my iPhone has replaced and it's pretty amazing all of the things that really aren't necessary as a result of its existence. Of course, depending on your model of smart phone, it probably replaces these things too.

Some of these things went away once cell phones in general were introduced, but I still think the iPhone further disrupted the markets for these items. And some of the items might still be necessary depending upon your needs, but I think the day is coming where we won't need those things.
