Since it has been released, iPhone, with its cool design and impressive features, has been a hit on the market and a commercial success, though it has a high price and it requires a two-year wireless commitment with AT&T. There are enthusiasts which are supporting iPhone, even if it has its problems. Researching all of these problems found on Internet, or at its users on the streets, malls, restaurants, here we have gathered most often complaints, and you have in this article a top of iPhone complaints. You could have faced some of them if you have an iPhone, and you might surprised at seeing other problems, which you haven't discovered yet, here in this top.
Many of the iPhone users seem to be happy with the product they have purchased, but there still is room for development and work on the features use most of the time: connectivity, battery charge time, chatting and messages. There are many complaints about the dropped calls and the battery life, and concerning the dropped calls, neither AT&T nor Apple are taking responsibility. There are many applications for iPhone which drain its battery quite fast. When Apple released its iPhone 2.1,they had in mind to reduce the amount of dropped calls and to improve battery's life.
3G was released in July 2008 and it was sold in more than a million units during the first weekend. The iPhone works when it is in a 3G location and it should work in the slower EDGE network, when the 3G gets low. Sometimes, because of this switch in the networks, there is a lag/delay in the jump. The phone replacement program is also disappointing Apple fans, because AT&T doesn't offer any insurance for the handset, and usually, when an iPhone is broken, the users are asked to bring the iPhone to an Apple store, from where it's sent and fixed, if it still is in that one year manufacturer's warranty. For this matter, users have also the option of signing up for an Apple Care plan, but at cost of 79$. Another frustrating problem is concerning the software and the third party applications. The lack of a copy/cut/paste function was a problem in the beginning, but lately it has been successfully solved. The lack of flash support and video recording missing is frustrating too for many of iPhone users. Some people don't like that they can't tilt the keyboard to use the landscape view, for an easier typing when writing messages, emailing or just chatting. Another faced problem with iPhone was that users couldn't forward a text, but it has also been solved with the latest software version.
