I used Iphone in Sept 2007 when it only had two versions. It was the limited 4GB and 8GB. I could remember that even the 4GB version was sold at USD399 that year. And I bought one from a vietnamese student who "imported" the iphone for some profit. Since then, Iphone spent around 50 days on my hands. It had (i used past tense here) an innovative and interactive user interface, bright LCD, excellent sensitivity with capacitive touch, stunning camera quality. It had also a bunch of shortfalls; mono speaker, low volume ring tones etc. I was still quite ok with the lack of mms and sms forwarding as well as video taking as I usually seldom utilize such functions. That time, it was (again I used past tense here) truly the king of the mobile phone. I even convinced myself and frieds of mine that once you were introduced to Iphone, you will never want to try other phones. This was the claim I made till Iphone 3G.
1 year later, Apple launched a remake of Iphone with almost no improvement of design and ignore users needs. There was still no mms and video taking etc. The screen is yellowish now as compare to first generation and except for the 3G connection, I do not really see a need for an upgrade at all. I do not see battery improvement or other features that match to other mobile phones are offering. Some others are (i used present tense here) learning and offering some counter measures slowly and progressively. Windows Mobile is to be blamed for nothing not updating its aged old platform and still using stylus based touch which lost innovation to the finger touch. HTC soon offer the touch flo as the counter measure and soon become the de facto to the WM platform now. WM phones still lack the intuitive and responsive touch sensitive as compare to Iphone and thus some had abandon the WM to join the Iphone mainly due to its stylist and design fancy. Yeah, I am using iphone!
Here we are told that there will be iphone 3GS, again there is little innovative as compare to the first Iphone. Still the same form factor, same GUI, same old dated design, same out technology etc. I felt like being cheated as this is the new iphone. It almost seem that Apple does not has a new design at all but just to plainly remake a model with some added new functions and launch for its fans. Why did Apple offer a new design? This is really like cheating the customers.
I do not see other phone maker offer a new series phone without any design changes but still call them as new model. What really a shame to Apple.
With other phone makers learning the tactics of Apple and offering great phones with refreshing design and up to date technology, I believed Iphone will be at the end of life soon. It will surely rejected by customers in another 1 year if the trend of this type of new series release to be taken place.
i am using an iphone...but the design was 3 years old and features were 2 years old. Do I need this type of Iphone?
