The Apple iPhone has become one of the most popular products in recent years but there are some limitations to the iPhone.
iPhone has 2.75G quad-based GSM capability, its text, email and Wi-Fi services, but it is far from perfect. It does have its limitations.Not only do Apple keep us from using certain features but they also prevent iPhone customization in some instances. 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. While an iPhone will have a four, eight or sixteen gigabyte hard drive where several hundred mp3 files can be fit onto the hard drive none of these files can be used for ringtone use. Only the ones that are available on the phone can use them.
I was informed that you have to make purchases from iTunes store to get those customized ring tones which greatly upset me. And, most other solutions need you to fork out that extra cash to download a software for such customization. Therefore, I find that this part of iPhone customization is greatly 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.
It cannot record video files. Of course, the 4, 8 or 16 gigabyte hard drive could be a major factor as one’s video files stored on the iPhone could easily filled the iPhone’s phone space in no time.
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 is troublesome to surf on some certain sites without a problem as a result. The iPhone may have some problems with websites utilizing Flash, and I wish Apple will quickly come out with a fix for this problem.
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 example, the virtual keyboard on the iPhone is tremendously useful, but users still ahve to go to another menu every time they want to enter a comma, period or other punctuation marks. 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. Nevertheless, I am hoping in the future that Apple would have corrected these problems listed here and newer iPhone models would have these features.
