One of the biggest features that people want once they purchase a cellular phone is simplicity. Apple knows what customers want, and so they take created the Apple iPhone with this in mind. This is one of the reasons this phone is becoming so popular. It is easy to stay up-to-date with your iPhone. Playing around using the iPhone is such a lot of fun. However, the iPhone has missed on a few points. There's a downside towards iPhone. It isn't a perfect peripheral that it proclaims to be. A number of the issues are with the battery, memory, and AT&T.
What – there's a downside towards iPhone? Actually, you'll notice several. The initial issue is with memory. It is not possible to upgrade or expand the iPhones memory. You've got either 6 GB, 8 GB, or perhaps a 16 GB model and that is it. If you love to download content and music, you might quickly find yourself running less space. This implies loading and unloading content from the iPhone to your computer. Nothing is more annoying than starting a download and finding out you can not complete it because your memory is simply too low. This was one area that Apple missed on. Teenagers can download an incredible quantity of music and video content. Having the option to apply memory sticks would have been a pleasant feature.
Many iPhone users are unhappy with the fact that the iPhone battery is sealed and cannot be changed. The overall consensus with the current owners is that they were not warned about the battery situation. Apple is being sued regarding the iPhone battery and the shortage of disclosure on the fact it can't be changed. I believe the users here. If you shell out $500-$600 for the phone but it dies in 6 months, you are likely to be pretty upset. The idea to change cellphone batteries is standard inside the cell phone industry. Perhaps apple would have been more happy with earning money on battery replacements and this could have many users happy and Apple out of court. Short battery life is the number one complaint of heavy cell phone users. That is another downside to the iPhone.
Finally, the calling plans that AT&T offers of the iPhone leave plenty to be desired. Lacking calling plans that allow free usage between AT&T users, or calling circles, or other forms of unlimited use, AT&T has fallen behind all of the other mobile phone carriers. Furthermore, limits on area coverage and interruptions in service reduce the cell phone user’s sense of freedom. For this reason nearly all of us chose to own a cellphone – the idea to roam and call when and where we please. The iPhone and AT&T really shaft the consumer on the exclusive contract between the two. AT&T has no incentive to offer better rates to iPhone users because they legally cannot go anywhere else. Roaming charges and charges for that iPhone are astronomical. This is a downside towards the iPhone also it is compounded by the truth that hackers have found one way to unlock these phones so they can be used on other mobile phone networks. Apple set itself up for this one, and until the exclusivity is removed, the hackers is going to be right there breaking into every code update that Apple releases.
Apple has been making computers and peripheral devices for many years now. You'd have thought that they would have put a little more effort into researching the consequences on users that memory, battery life, and availability of an inexpensive mobile phone plan would have on potential users. I foresee a decline inside the iPhones popularity due to these concerns. Hackers will keep developing a field day with unlocking iPhones until the agreement between AT&T and Apple expires, or it gets sent for the courts. It will be interesting to see how a battery issues turn out in court. There is a downside for the iPhone and Apple has done nothing to mend it.
