While Apple's iPhone has become one of the most popular products in
recent years there are some downfalls to the product. While the iPhone
does have a 2.75G quad-band GSM capability with text messaging and email
services and Wi-Fi services there are some iPhone limits. Not only do
they keep people from using certain features but they also prevent
iPhone customization in some cases. These problems should be fixed in
the future though.
One of the biggest limits that the iPhone has is that the product does
not allow for any custom ringtones to be used. While an iPhone will have
a four or eight gigabyte hard drive where several hundred .mp3 files
can be fit onto the hard drive none of these files can be used for
ringtone use. Only the ones that are available on the phone can use
them. Therefore, this part of iPhone customization is greatly limited.
The camera on the iPhone is a strong one, as it has two megapixels of
picture quality. This makes for one of the best camera phones on the
market. While pictures can be taken for sending to people or for iPhone
customization there is a significant limit to the camera � it cannot
record video files. Of course, the four or eight gigabyte hard drive is a
major factor in this because recording one's one video files can take
up a great amount of space on the phone.
Flash is used on many popular websites, including hot video sites like
Google Video and Youtube. There is limited Flash support on the iPhone
though. It makes it tough to go to certain sites on the Internet as a
result. With more websites than ever before getting into the world of
Flash programming this will be a great problem unless Apple is able to
fix it in the future.
The last of the limits of the iPhone is that of the difficultly in
writing things at times. The iPhone has a touch screen feature and it
can be tough to write things on the iPhone with speed. For instance,
while there is a virtual keyboard on the iPhone the user will have to go
to another menu every time to enter commas, periods and other marks of
punctuation. While the touch screen is great and is incredibly
responsive to what one enters on it this is a problem that makes it
harder to write things.
With the great sales that the iPhone has gotten in recent months the
iPhone limits have been discovered too. However, as time goes on newer
iPhone models will be available in the future, and many of these models
should be able to correct the problems that are listed here.
