Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new here, and a pretty new mac user too (less than a year).
Not to be overly critical, and no offense to anyone- (dont take this the wrong way...)
but...
Why does it seem like almost everyone is bitching and moaning about the new iphone? Is there any other phone out there that compares in terms of quality of user interface, smoothness of operation? Sure, there might not have been a forward facing camera or other things in this update...but how many of you are engineers capable of saying that apple could have, and should have added that feature in? and what about the marketability? who's done the research and the polls? and the financials? was it a financially viable option for them?
Apple is in the business to make money, and they've done a fantastic job. my parents used to own apple stock when it was worth less than 10 dollars (unfortunately, they sold it- they didnt think Apple would get big lol). this wasnt that long ago. now its worth 18x that. so obviously Apple knows how to do its job.
Im sure Apple had to weight the pro's and con's of every suggestion out there. I'm sure they considered all the things we wish could have been put into it, and they probably decided that the features they did put into the new iphone represented the best shot they had at making money while providing people with an amazing product.
if you really dont like the new iphone because it isnt ultra loaded with more hardware and software, then maybe it would be best to stop complaining and figure out a solution and send it to them, or get a different phone...
sorry if i offended anyone, didnt mean to. just wondering why people choose to bash on something that is already leaps and bounds (overall, at least in my opinion) ahead of the competition.
p.s.
I think it was said a while back that the plastic back on this iphone was to improve signal strength and what not...not so much as a cost cutting move. i cant imagine having an aluminum back would cost much more for apple or the end user.
