Apple iPhone Review: Don’t Believe The Hype
Recognize these famous icons: Edsel, New Coke and Apple Ipod?
After much hype, the results are in on Apple’s new iPhone, and many people are not satisfied customers. In a way it can be related to the Edsel, a car named after a draft-dodging Ford family member, and the ’New Coke’ that everyone was excited about until they found out it tasted just like Pepsi. Even with a growing amount of dissatisfied customers the Apple iPhone has created an amazing amount of money for the company. Apparently, people were curious about just how bad a cell phone can be.
Will the Apple iPhone merge with other devices?
One of the most popular viral videos since the phone’s much-hyped 2007 release is that of a blender seller, who put an iPhone in a blender and turned on the machine. This was done to show off the strength of the blender, but also seemed to be more than a cutting review of the Apple iPhone by the blender seller. Since the video went viral rather quickly, it indicates a lot of people concurred with his disapproval of Apple’s new iPhone and in fact the video became much more well known than the Blendtec blender he was trying to sell.
Try again, Steve Jobs
Although you could go to a high tech website such as CNet.com to read geek’s Apple iPhone reviews, they sometimes are a bit difficult to understand with all of the jargon and techno-babble. If you want to know what an iPhone is like, you need to read Apple’s iPhone reviews written by the average person. To do this just type in ” Apple iPhone reviews ” in your desired internet search engine, then you will have an ample amount of reviews to check out.
One very interesting review is found on Helium.com done by Cara Volle, which it might be worth your while to read if interested in a critics point of view. That particular review starts off with, “Sorry Steve Jobs, but I hate your effing iPhone”, but that’s all I should really repeat here. Many of these reviews are not even close to Pulitzer Prize winning material, nonetheless they show that the iPhone sparks the imagination on the possibilities for what a well develop device would be like.
Complaints about the iPhone from others have ranged from its choice of AT&T as network provider to the cost. The iPhone camera quality was somewhat disappointing because of it’s less than stellar picture quality, and the new video capability which nearly everyone was excited about, still has several ’kinks’ to be worked out. There’s also a disturbing trend for the iPhone to get physically very hot when in use. Another alarming fact is that well known computer security specialist have now found ways to hack into the Apple iPhone, which means others could do the same.
Whenever a new techie toy appears, there are bound to be bugs that only customers can find. Before purchasing your Apple iPhone, I would suggest waiting about one year so they can work out all the bugs and then create a much better product, one you may find worth waiting for.
