Antennagate?
by Johnny on Jul.16, 2010, under Technology
Apple is holding a press conference today about the iPhone4′s antenna issues. Steve Jobs is up on stage showing video’s of other manufacturer’s phones dropping bars when held in specific ways… Apple is claiming that phones arn’t perfect and the entire industry should strive to be better.
Personally I think that is bullshit. The problem is that the function of making a phone call on a modern smart phone is no longer priority no.1 Getting served a healthy portion of advertisement banners is more important to the bottom line.
More after the jump…
Apple wants to sell you a pocket sized computer, but to do that they know that they need to also make the device a cell phone. They could care less about selling you a phone, but there hands are tied. Do to this, the quality and attention to the phone functionality of the iPhone has suffered. It’s not the focus feature of the device.
I love my iPhone, I want apple to sell me an awesome pocket computer. I personally think the dropped bars issue is inflated… But just saying the issue isn’t one, and then showing videos of the competition also failing is stupid.
Apple wants to avoid a recall at all costs, 3million sold could quickly turn from a bullet point to a bullet in the foot.
It’s called iPhone – Phone being the major part of the name. Phone.
Also, stop dicking around and enable Flash.
