Apple’s iPhone Cons

The Apple iPhone has become one of the most popular products in recent years but there are some limitations to the iPhone.

I like the iPhone for its 2.75G quad-based GSM capability, its email, text services and Wi-Fi services, but it is far from the perfect dream phone.  It does have its limitations.They keep people from using certain features and also prevent most iPhone customization. These problems should be fixed in the future though.

No custom ringtones

One of the biggest limitations that the iPhone has is that the product does not allow for any custom ringtones to be used.As you know iPhone has 4, 8 or 16 gigabytes of hard drive space to store hundreds of mp3 files, but none of these audio files can be used as ringtones.  Only the ones that are available on the phone can use them.

Apple had in fact set it up that you should pay through iTunes store in order to get customized ring tones which I am really not happy about.Other solutions I found need you to fork out some cash to purchase a software for such customization. I find that this feature of the iPhone, customization is greately limited.

Camera on the iPhone

The camera on the iPhone is a strong one, as it has two megapixels of picture quality. While pictures can be taken for sending to people or for iPhone customization there is a significant limitation to the camera.If you check, you will find that there is no near future plan by Apple to upgrade the iPhone picture quality.

As far as I know, it does not record video. 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.

Limited Flash support

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.

Difficulty to write

The last of the limitations 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.
