Disadvantages Of Apple iPhone


10 Comments »

posted in Apple, Useful Info, iPhone, problems, by BindApple

Apple iPhone is a very useful smart-phone that comes with a lot of great features like: music player, built-in camera, e-mail, Wi-Fi connectivity, web browsing, caller ID, games, calendar and a lot of other features and applications. But today we are not going to talk about Apple iPhone advantages and we are going to talk about disadvantages of Apple iPhone.



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.

posted in Useful Info, iPod, reviews, by BindApple

All the customers’ reviews say the same thing, that iPod Touch is the iPhone’s little brother and this is not a bad thing, because iPhone is the best mobile phone you can find nowadays. iPod Touch looks like an iPhone and has almost the same features as an iPhone, the difference is that the iPod Touch is a MP4 player and more and iPhone is a very complex mobile phone and more.



iPod Touch comes with a 3.5 – inch touch screen that supports a maximum resolution of 480 x 320. Beside its touch screen interface, the iPhone has s few physical buttons like the home button placed below the phones screen, the hold switch you can find on the top of the phone and the volume control button that is placed on the left edge. In the box, you will also find, white earbuds which come with a remote control placed on the cable and a microphone, an Apple universal dock and a USB cable.

iPod Touch 3rd generation includes a great music player, integrated iTunes Store is you want to download music or videos, e-mail reader compatible with the following e-mail services: AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, MobileMe, Exchange, Outlook and more, photo viewer, video playback, Safari Web browser and podcast support. Other features include: calculator, contacts, clock, voice memos, notes, maps, calendar and weather.

According to some customer reviews the cons of this device are the following: there in not much upgrade between iPod Touch 2nd generation and iPod Touch 3rd generation and everyone is waiting for the new iPod Touch, the one with the OLED display (if we listen to the latest rumors); a weaker battery, because the battery from 2nd generation iPod Touch lasted about 36 hours and the battery for 3rd generation lasts only 30 hours for music playback and if you surf the web lasts less; the fact that is a little expensive for the 64 GB model and it doesn’t have a built-in FM radio and if you want to listen to radio you have to connect to the Internet. A down side is also the built-in speaker, because is not great, is mono, tiny and produces a horrible sound.

The pros for this device according to other customers reviews are the following: it is a light and a small device, it has a great and sensitive touch screen, it comes with the best and the easiest web browser anyone could find on a portable device, it has amazing music and video playback, the hardware is reliable and the Apple Store gives everyone the possibility to download many free cool applications for it.

When you listen to the headphones the quality of the sound is very good and we don’t have to forget about all the cool games everyone can play on this device. The built-in wireless technology is very good allowing you to have Internet access.Overall, this is a very complex device that has almost everything you need and we hope that the next generation will be better.
