Are Apple iPhones Everything Advertisers Claim?

Can You Trust all the Talk Surrounding Apple iPhones?

Recognize these famous icons: Edsel, New Coke and Apple Ipod?

After all the publicity surrounding Apple’s new iPhone the public opinion is in, and people are sorely disappointed in the device. Making it similar in reputation to the Edsel car which received it’s bad name after a former Ford family member dodged the draft, or the New Coke which really tasted 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. This was done to show off the strength of the blender, but also seemed to be more than a cutting review of the Apple iPhone by the blender seller. Since the video went viral rather quickly, it indicates a lot of people concurred with his disapproval of Apple’s new iPhone and in fact the video became much more well known than the Blendtec blender he was trying to sell.

Try again, 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. Probably the best Apple iPhone reviews are done by the average person and you can find many to choose from on the internet. You can find them practically anywhere online by just typing " Apple iPhone review " into your favorite search engine.

Helium.com has a few reviews and the one in particular done by Cara Volle is worth reading. 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.

People have verbalized their disapproval of Apple iPhone’s everywhere, from cost to the way Apple strictly limited the network provider you have to use, which is AT&T. Many have also complained about the camera function not being up to par, and the much anticipated video capability which still had some work to be done before it should have been released to the public. 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.

Whenever a new techie toy appears, there are bound to be bugs that only customers can find. It’s good to keep in mind that all new technical products usually have some bugs to be worked out. You would do good to wait until the next major upgrade is released in order to give them time needed to address the problems and provide you with a much better device.
