Apple iPhones - What’s All The Excitement?
Recognize these famous icons: Edsel, New Coke and Apple Ipod?
Reviews of Apple’s much-hyped new gizmo have suggested that this just might be one of the most hated products in American history. Much like the car Edsel (named after a draft-dodging member of the Ford family) and New Coke (which tasted just like Pepsi). However, the iPhone has still made an incredible amount of money for Apple. Evidently, consumers are interested in just how bad a cell phone could be.
Does It Blend Well With Others?
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.
Sorry, 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. 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.
One review can be found on Helium.com written by Cara Volle. Her comments begin first by telling Steve Jobs in her own words how much she hates his iPhone. Although not exactly Pulitzer Prize winning material, it does give you an indication about how good a gizmo an iPhone could be.
Consumers have not been pleased about having to use AT&T as the sole network provider, and they are not happy about the high cost of the iPhone either. The picture quality of its camera is said to be pretty disappointing and streamlining video still has a lot of bugs to work 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.
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.
