5 Things To Hate About Apple iPhone

Please don't take this post the wrong way. I will be first in line to pick up the new Apple iPhone as soon as it becomes available to the general market. However there has been much hype over the iPhone of late and so I feel it only fair to balance out the arguement with a few 'downsides' to this brilliant device.

Here are my top 5 things to hate about the Apple iPhone:1. Battery Life
As you can well imagine, any device that has so many bits on board is really go to chew up the battery. You will definitely want to make sure you have a charger at home, at work, in your car, and anywhere else you frequent on a daily basis.

2. Touch Screen
Those familiar with touchscreens, like the ones we now use at banks, airports and shopping malls, know how hard it can be sometimes to have the touchscreen understand and register your commands. I can't help but feel a regular style keypad would have been far more reliable than the new touch-screen technology. No doubt Apple has spent alot of time and money perfecting this part of the phone however I still think the touchscreen will end up causing more problems than it solves. Prove me wrong Apple!

3. 2 Megapixel Camera
Ok, come on Apple, you must be kidding! I hate to think how much time and money Apple has invested in the new iPhone. To have come up with such a 'James Bond' type device and then let it down with a measily 2 megapixel camera is beyond me. There have been phones out on the market for months now that have cameras of much higher quality (even some as high as 4 megapixels). I don't know what Apple was thinking by doing this. If you are going to shoot for the stars then you may as well go all out. Right?

4. Network Limitations
Since Apple is a new player in the billion dollar mobile phone market, it is going to take them some time to build their reputation and form alliances within the industry. For this reason it appears the iPhone will initially only be made available for use on certain carriers. Apple has already announced that their exclusive partner in the U.S will be Cingular. What about everyone else?

5. Inbuilt Battery
We all know how hard it was to replace the battery on our IPODs. Well foolishly Apple has gone and done the exact same thing with the iPhone. Unlike every other phone on the market where users are able to easily access and remove the battery from their phone, the iPhone uses a built in battery much the same as the IPOD. This means big hassles when your battery finally dies and you need a replacement. Who wants the inconvenience of sending their phone away just to change the battery? What were Apple thinking with this one?

Conclusion
Although there are some clear downsides to the new Apple iPhone, all in all it looks to be a real hit! I think the positive aspects of this phone clearly outway the negative and I will most definitely be picking up my new Apple iPhone as soon as they hit the market!
