Yes, this image of an EDIT: unfortunately misidentified man in a hoodie eating a piece of toast might well be the first image ever uploaded to the Internet from an iPhone. Remember this moment — I’m sure your grandkids will ask you about where you were when you saw the first iPhone picture.
It came from a set of two that got posted to Flickr, got marked private and finally got deleted. The EXIF data is interesting, but could easily be fraudulent — this is editable stuff. Still, I like this story, because it involves toast. A second photo, along with the EXIF data, is posted after the jump.

The second photo below, which was also EXIFed as coming from an iPhone, is reputed to be from Alexander’s restaurant in Cupertino, very near to AppleHQ. That tip comes courtesy of MobileGuerilla reader YourMom. Anyone know for sure?
