Apple iPhone Review: Don’t Believe The Hype
Edsel. New Coke. Apple Ipod?
Public reviews on Apple’s new iPhone has shown the much anticipated device is not what consumers expected it to be. But in fact, is similar to unpopular Edsel car that was named after a Ford family member who avoided the draft, or the so called, ’New Coke’ which really tasted just like regular Pepsi. However, the iPhone has still made an incredible amount of money for Apple. Apparently, people were curious about just how bad a cell phone can be.
Will the Apple iPhone merge with other devices?
In 2007 there was a video of a salesman putting the iPhone in a blender then turning it on, this made it one of the most watched video clips on the internet. He did this to not only show off the power of his blender product, but also as a clear way to show his opinion of the new iPhone. This video quickly became widely popular even more so than the Blendtec blender he was selling, which was a strong indication that many other viewers felt the same way, or at least could relate to his humorous way of showing his dissatisfaction in Apple’s new iPhone.
Maybe next time, Steve Jobs
If you want to read some of the reviews on Apple iPhones, you could go to the Cnet.com website for several ’geek reports’, just be prepared for the upper techno-jargon used because it can be tough to understand. It would be best to read Apple iPhone reviews by an average person or do some personal investigation on your own. You can find them practically anywhere online by just typing ” Apple iPhone review ” into your favorite search engine.
One review can be found on Helium.com written by Cara Volle. It begins, “Sorry Steve Jobs, but I hate your effing iPhone”, that’s about all I can reprint here. Many of these reviews are not written in an award winning fashion, but they do help to open one’s imagination on what possibilities can be made to future devices.
Complaints about the iPhone from others have ranged from its choice of AT&T as network provider to the cost. Another complaint has been about the camera and video quality, which has been a source of contention for many people who say it’s disappointing and obviously not up to Apple’s normal standards. There’s also a disturbing trend for the iPhone to get physically very hot when in use. Computer security specialists have also found ways to hack into an iPhone, and if they can do it, so can cyber criminals.
Unfortunately, anytime there are new ’tech toys’ that are released to the public they are never 100% problem free, and it stands to reason that consumers are the best way to get feedback on it’s actual performance. You need to wait for at least a year after their release for these bugs to be resolved somehow.
