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.
Does It Blend Well With Others?
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. 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. The fact that the video went viral and became so popular, (more so than the Blendtec blender he was selling), means that many others seemed to agree with this particular review on Apples new iPhone.
Sorry, 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. It would be best to read Apple iPhone reviews by an average person or do some personal investigation on your own. Apple iPhone reviews are easy to find online, simply type in: "Apple iPhone reviews", in whatever search engine you use and you will find plenty to read.
Cara Volle wrote a review on Helium.com that you might want to check out. It begins, "Sorry Steve Jobs, but I hate your effing iPhone", that’s about all I can reprint here. Although not exactly Pulitzer Prize winning material, it does give you an indication about how good a gizmo an iPhone could be.
Complaints about the iPhone from others have ranged from its choice of AT&T as network provider to the cost. The picture quality of its camera is said to be pretty disappointing and streamlining video still has a lot of bugs to work out. People also began to notice very quickly, that the iPhone gets hot to-the-touch when using it for extended periods, which has caused many to worry about it’s safety. 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. 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.
