Where the iPhone Fails
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010The iPhone is one of the most popular mobile phones used today however, it is not without fault , here is our list of the 6 most frustrating problems with Apples best selling phone.
Battery Life – The battery life on the Apple iPhone is very poor with users who have had a handset for more than 6 months requiring a charge a couple of times a day, even with low to moderate use.
The Camera – The 3 megapixel camera is really not up to scratch and there is no form of flash or backlight so those wishing to take night photos or photos in limited light will be disappointed. Even the feature list on the camera is virtually non-existant.
No Support for Adobe Flash – Adobe Flash is used on more and more websites each day and provides rich graphics and animations in many websites, the current safari browser that comes with the iPhone will not support flash rendering many websites useless. Apple have released a statement saying they have no intention in including Adobe Flash into the iPhone any time soon .
universal Poor Call Quality – Many users report poor reception on the iPhone, when placed next to another phone on the same network the iPhone just about always has a much poorer signal. Reports of call calls dropping and quality problems are also frequent .
It’s a Sealed Unit – This means you can’t upgrade the memory or substitute the battery – if either of these fail you will need to purchase a new phone or replace it under warranty if you are lucky enough for it to still be under maintenance .
Limited Service Providers – Whilst this is getting better there are still plenty of service providers who are unable to offer the Apple iPhone as part of your package, more competition usually means cheaper phone calls and better packages.
