The first disadvantage is, of course, AT&T and the two-year contract you have to sign if you want to purchase an Apple iPhone from them. And this is not all when we talk about AT&T, because we can’t leave behind the interruptions in service and the limits on the coverage. Many of you were put in the situation when they wanted to make a very important call, but the lack of signal made it impossible to dial. This is just wrong and very annoying.
The next disadvantage is the fact that Apple iPhone only supports a SIM that has been activated for that specific mobile phone, which means that if one of your friends runs out of battery on his iPhone, you cannot borrow him your iPhone to make a call with his SIM card because it won’t work with your iPhone.
The fact that you can’t upgrade the phone’s memory is also a disadvantage. You have the memory that Apple wants you to have and that is all. We are not saying that the memory provides by Apple iPhone is not enough for most of us, but it would be great to have the possibility to upgrade the memory. A great advantage could have been the possibility to add a memory card to upgrade the memory.
Many Apple iPhone users are unhappy, and so are we, with the fact that the Apple iPhone battery cannot be changed and the fact that it is sealed. And this is not all when you are talking about the iPhone battery because many users say that the battery life of the phone is short and when they are using the 3G feature the battery life is quite poor.
iPhone 3GS has a 3 – mega pixel camera, but many of you have Apple iPhone 3G which has a 2 – mega pixel camera. These cameras are not decent for a phone, but if we make a comparison between iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, the camera is a big plus for iPhone 3GS because is comes with video recording, autofocus and the 3 mega pixels make better photos than the 2 – mega pixels.
A huge disadvantage with all Apple mobile devices, including iPhone, is the fact that they don’t allow users to transfer data and information from the PC to the device through a USB cable without using applications like iPhoto and iTunes. This is very disappointing, because all iPhone users spend a lot of time importing songs and data into their device.
