The Apple Iphone – Does it Deliver?

May 10th, 2012 3 comments

Over the years we’ve gotten used to Apple delivering us quality products, and our attitudes there haven’t changed. When it comes to the Apple iPhone, we expect quality, innovation and continuous pleasant surprises. In fact, when it comes to any Apple product, we expect these things. Is the iPhone keeping up with or exceeding our expectations? Mostly. Even the great Apple Corporation, which has stood steadfastly by its commitment to quality and innovation despite the constant influx of cheaper competitive products, is not infallible. Nor should we expect it to be. The breakneck speed and unstoppable momentum at which technology progresses almost guarantees that no new electronic toy can ever completely satisfy us. We’ve been trained to always look for more and better. This being said, the new Apple iPhone 3G still easily moves to the front of the pack.

Most cell phones aren’t just phones anymore; that’s no surprise to anyone. We do, however, still expect them to give us good quality cell phone service. The Apple iPhone 3G gives you easy contact storage, and calling or text messaging anyone on your contact list is as easy as tapping their name. Nor do you have to sit through five voicemails to hear the one you want. When you get voicemail, the names and dates are on screen, and you simply tap the one you want to listen to. Most people are surprised to find, though, that there are limitations to the ringtones that can be used with the Apple iPhone 3G. We’re used to customizing our ringtones however we want, and this is restricted with the iPhone. To most of us, that’s downright shocking!

You do, of course get the iPod with your iPhone 3G, and there’s no doubt that the iPod remains the most popular MP3/video player today. It delivers music and video with the clarity we’ve come to expect. There are constant improvements, such as touch-screen controls and wider screens, and no doubt the improvements will keep on coming. Apple delivers consistently in this area. The wireless Internet service available on the iPhone 3G is delightful, and with the larger screen it really is a pleasure to browse the net. You get almost all of the features you would get with a regular laptop computer.

The camera on the Apple iPhone 3G can stand proudly with some of the best mid-range digital cameras on the market today. Sending your photos off to your home computer, or anyone else’s computer, is a breeze. Though this is something we now all expect from almost any cell phone, with the iPhone we really are pleasantly surprised by the consistent quality of the photos. Last but not least, there’s the GPS system that comes with the iPhone. We haven’t quite gotten used to having those on our all-inclusive cell phones yet, but that won’t take long.
