If iPhones existed in the '90s (1990-1999) would the decade still be great or not anymore?

Yes, even better because that was also before the NSA began spying on the public.

A little less great. In the 90s college students didn't have to call their moms 9 times every day, and school kids couldn't be tracked by GPS. In other words, as in every decade before the 2000s, people were not under constant surveillance.

Yeah, just would have been technologically advanced.

I got my first cell phone in 1991. That is about the same time Prodigy and AOL were the fake internet along with dial-up BBS systems. That was the beginning of the end for civility in America.
