28 Reasons Why Apple’s iPhone Sucks
June 25, 2007 | by Jefferson | Filed Under Tech |
Note: The average iphone user has an IQ of 119. Are you smarter than that? Take this IQ test and find out!
The Apple iPhone is about to hit the market in one of the most-hyped product releases in recent memory. Fanboys across America are getting ready to camp outside of their nearest iPhone sales location so that they can be the first in the nation to give Apple money for this product.
Did you know that it sucks?
Here are some reasons why:
1. At $599, it is ridiculously expensive. (Add in the cost of an AT&T contract and you get close to $1500)
2. Those who want to buy one must sell their soul to evil mega-corporation AT&T.
3. Japan already has technologically superior phones, and they’re far cheaper.
4. Slower internet than the commercials show: “The data experience is going to be very slow. If you’re on a cellular network, [using the Internet] is going to be very slow.”
5. Initial reports indicate that YouTube is slow and crappy using cellular network internet/EDGE. It’s nothing like in the commercials.
6. You cannot remove its battery. Thanks for replicating one of the biggest complaints about the ipod, Apple!
7. The glass touch screen of the iPhone guarantees that thousands of customers who drop their phones will have cracked screens.
8. The touchscreen keyboard sucks, according to those who have used the phone.
9. It can’t send MMS picture messages.
10. The camera has little or no options, and the pictures it takes aren’t very good.
11. It lacks proper support for Flash websites. So much for the internet.
12. It can’t record video.
13. “Pinching” pictures to zoom might look neat in commercials, but many reviewers are saying it actually sucks.
14. It lacks 3G high-speed data transfer.
15. No songs as ringtones.
16. No GPS.
17. It doesn’t work under 64-bit Windows XP / Windows Vista!!!!!!! Thanks for not including that in your Windows System Requirements, Apple!
18. It only allows for a maximum of 1 picture to be attached to each e-mail you send.
19. It doesn’t have a file browser/organizer.
20. Its default ringtones suck.
21. You can not save documents on it: documents can only be viewed as attachments when they’re sent to your e-mail address.
22. No games!!
23. Its “quick list” dialing sucks compared to traditional speed dialing, which it lacks..
24. Long activation waits: many new iPhone users are reporting that they are being told to wait hours or even days to activate service for their phone. Thanks, AT&T!
25. Heat issues: the iPhone can get very hot when it is in use.
26. Deceptive Ads: Apple has been using models with gigantic hands in their advertisements for the iPhone in an effort to trick consumers into believing it is more compact.
27. Many of the positive press reports about the iPhone are influenced by newspapers and TV networks that simply want to profit from the hypefest, or even worse, reporters who are looking to sell books about the iPhone.
28. It creates incredibly annoying iPhone fanboys.

Totally agreed on #16
It also lacks GPS from what I hear. If that’s true, this machine is truly sucky and primitive.
But hey, that’s their business model!
Thanks for reminding me about that one: the list is now up to 17!
[…] 16 17 reasons why the Apple iPhone sucks […]
Does not support high speed wireless data transfer (HSDPA often referred to as 3G or UMTS/HSDPA. Just FYI.
your memory must be short. Vista was just released.
AIM is available as a Web software. (13)
Apple is licensing Microsoft Exchange service for corporate emails. (14)
fine edge is now available (4)
what happens when the embargo on 3g chips goes into effect. now new cell phones with 3g
how expensive is it to get those Japaneses phones to the US (1)(3) you will pay almost as much as the I phone and have signal problems without the NA chipset.
everyone that learned to their finger instead of their thumbs figured out how to use the keyboard (8)
Video, Flash and ringtones can be installed. it is just software. which Apple makes better than anyone else. (11)(12)(15)
I take it that your guys are down on the iphone because your mom wont let you get one.
good read but points 4, 5 are pretty much the same.. as well as 10 and 14 (basically the same argument)
15. No songs as ringtones?
lies
True cost of the iPhone:
http://www.centernetworks.com/true-cost-of-the-iphone
Crap article.
1. For an cell phone, iPod and a web browser and mail client device - that’s cheap.
2. Meh?
3. This applies to almost everything.
4. It can connect to WiFi points for fast Internet browsing.
5. See number 4.
6. And? When did you last replace the battery in your phone? I’ve never had to!
7. Eh? And is that why Apple did those tests already?
8. According to those who have used it? That’s like 200 testers working for Apple and 4 reviewers from newspapers. Did you watch Apple’s video showing how fast it is when you used both hands?
10. It works with Microsoft Exchange.
13. NOT true. There is an iChat/AIM client app written by a third party for the iPhone.
14. Steve Jobs has already announced this is coming in a few weeks.
15. Also NOT true. iTunes 7.3 lets you do this.

you people are pathetic. it’s Apple’s first attempt at a phone, give them a break. it is a fantastic piece of technology. if you don’t like it, don’t buy it! nobody’s forcing you! it’s just jealous Windows users at their niggling again…
Well the worthless moronic Apple fanboi base has spoken in spitfire’s comment. Now the rest of us who know what pieces of garbage the iphone & AT&T are can continue to flame them.
Can’t see I’ve ever understood the fascination with the iPhone. I’m more than happy with my current mobile phone and see no reason to upgrade to Apple’s over-priced product any time soon.

It’s over-hyped, and there are better phones out there for a cheaper price.
6. And? When did you last replace the battery in your phone? I’ve never had to!
^^ Consider having your phone on everyday. Consider how much battery power the iphone needs to operate. kthnx.
1. For an cell phone, iPod and a web browser and mail client device - that’s cheap.
^^ Cell phone’s are cheap. iPod with only 8gb space. 30GBIPOD 249.99GOBUYNOW! Other cell phones also have web browsers and mail clients.
4. It can connect to WiFi points for fast Internet browsing.
^^ wi-fi isn’t always available to you. when it isn’t, you’ll get owned by phones that are cheaper and have 3g and are faster than you at browsing the internet. EDGE IS SLOW.
my iPhone rocks. It took me the same amount of time of takes to book a flight online to get it hooked up. The textile has a slight learning curve, but so did my sidekick. In my opinion this phone caters to the prosumer that necessarily isn’t a slave to the crackberry, and isn’t concerned about 3g data transfer etc. Movies, music, email, a better version of the interenet? The goods far outweigh the bad.
I just never understand the hatred some of you tech geeks have to bother with things like this. The whole Apple v. Windows v. whoever thing. Don’t you have anything better to do? If you don’t like the phone, don’t buy it. Get a life and go back to MMORPGs or whatever else you chumps do when you aren’t wasting our time with crap like this…
You know what sucks? This website.
Many of the reasons listed about why the iPhone sucks are subjective. I’ll only list a few…
“$599 is ridicously expensive”
For some people it may be, but not for others. Apple has sold 525,000 already. So that’s 525,000 people who disagree with your statement. And believe me, that number is going to increase…a lot. This is not a legitimate reason why the iPhone sucks. It’s like saying “Flying sucks because it costs more than driving.”
“The default ringtones suck.”
They do? I’ve heard them and I think they’re kinda cool. Prove me wrong. Yet you have this as a reason why it sucks. If i were to tell you “The color red sucks” would you consider that a legitimate reason why the color red sucks? Unless you’re Syd Barrett (r.i.p. dude) I would say you wouldn’t. Don’t list subjective reasons for why something sucks unless your intention is for people to prove that your reasons are baseless and invalid.
“Japan’s Phones are more technologically advanced and cheaper”
What else is new? Europe’s phones are more advanced and cheaper too. The US has been behind in cell phone technology for the last 10 years. Yet you list this as one of the reasons why the iPhone sucks?? Then according to your argument, ALL US cell phones suck because all of them are less advanced and more expensive than Japan’s. You might as well have said “The iPhone sucks because you touch yourself at night”. It makes about as much sense.
Advice:
You have a good start to what could be a very intriguing website. People are always looking for other opinions and advice on all kinds of topics. If you were to stop adding subjective reasons why something sucks and start backing up your claims with hard, factual evidence, it will give your reasons a lot more weight, and your website a lot more respect and legitimacy.
And if you would like the same acknowledgment of credibility extended to your brilliant and well-documented comments, perhaps you should consider reading the other articles on this website before tossing around criticism like an enraged fanboy.
I can assure you that all of our topics are heavily researched, with all relevant sources provided, just for adoring fans like you.

If the iphone sucks or not is a bestseller right now and very fashion. Maybe, they’ll introduce new features soon, remember that selling policy do not allow to show all the features of your product to increase your selling later.

Us tech geeks and chumps are the ones who always help, solve, demystify and sometimes even save the world at times. Why don’t you try developing a life that exists outside of your own mind and opinion, instead of squawking about ‘tech geeks’ endeavors. I just exercised my fingers and mental voice box at your expense, CHUMP. Now it’s off to appeasing ‘intelligents’ meaning not JAFFO………
Lovely OPINION site, as that’s all this “why iPhone sucks” list, more like gripes for haters, not actual factual information. As a user of Crackberry, who’s owned Treos as well, they’re all fairly expensive, so the whole $599 gripe is, well, uh, BTW, there’s one for $499, about what Blackberry cost and remember the piece of junk Razor? Started at $700 and wasn’t 1/10th of what the iPhone is (had one, total junk). It’s clear this is just a bunch of haters who just don’t get it or don’t want one or are sour grapes types. My Blackberry craps out and I need to shut it off and turn it on constantly, the Treo was a blight of bad engineering, I don’t own an iPhone, but might someday, I’ve given it some hands-on time thanks to a friend who bought one and it, in most cases, blows away every other device. It’s nice that everyone wanted an everything to everyone phone in the iPhone, then again, I’m sure the bashers here are single men, probably living in their mother’s basement, who could never get laid, let alone a clue.

Hehe, looks like someone couldn’t afford an iPhone. That’s okay, man, you’ll save enough pennies soon enough. In the mean time, I’ll assure you that it rocks. How can you be sure I’m a good source? I’m typing this comment on my iPhone right now. So much for your crappy list with absolutely no credibility. C ya.

So a person who buys a SUPERIOR japanese phone, and thus gets more options, functionality, and a far better mobile experience is just some poor loser who can’t afford an iPhone? No, you’re an idiot for buying one.
And if they do introduce new features you’ll be shelling out another $600 for the new version. It’s Apple’s policy.
Broken iPod? Want to shuffle your songs? Forget firmware, just buy a new one!
[…] There’s also someone who listed out why the iPhone sucks. Check it out here. […]
You guys are fucking idiots if you think the iphone sucks. Just because it is not perfect doesn’t mean you should hate it.
YOu say you hate it because it is not a gps. GIVE ME ANOTHER PHOPNE WITH JUST A SIMPLE MAP LIKE THE IPHONE AND I’LL CONSIDER HATING IT. You guys a fucking morons. It just fucking came out. Give it some time for the price to go down.
Reviewing a technology without having it?
The Iphone does suck. I am typing this on my 8525 right now. Also just a few minutes ago I listed an ad on ebay. Try that with the peice of shit iphone. ohhhh….woops I just got an email via microsoft push. lol. maybe I will store the attachment on my 4GB MicroSD. lol. Steve Jobs, comon now, If you are going to reinvent the mobile industry actually do it.
Apple kids and fanboys…..Do you know that Windows mobile has been doing what the IPhone does for many years ago….Duhhh!!
And by the way it does it with far superiority and with far more third party sources…OoOhh! And I forgot to mention it’s free. After all Microsoft owns Apple……….
Anyone who says that the iPhone or any Apple product is stupid is a mentally challneged wintel fag who has chosen to believe the RIDICULOUS myths about the mac. If any of yall actually picked up and iPhone and used it you would see that it is a great phone. who cares if it has no removable battery u can return it for the same price as a replacement battery basically.
Sincerely,
Mac Fan
maybe ur hating a little too much. but most of i enjoy and agree with.
thumbs up!
Most of the people who purchased the iphone were not gadget or pc savy. They saw a sleek phone and decided to leave a good service to link up with AT&T. Their reception is as bad as Sprint! And how does a $600 phone NOT come with GPS?!! I’m glad they didn’t sign a contract with Verizon.
[…] info By perex Categories: sinsentidosycacharros Todos hemos oido hablar del famoso iphone… seguro que sueñas con tenerlo en tus manos… todo lo que podrías hacer con él… […]
I have had an iPhone for about 4 days now and it indeed SUCKS.
The set up with iTunes and AT&T was a disaster. AT&T is hopeless.
The keyboard on the iPhone is the worst ever. Unless you have fingers like an alien from Close Encounters, you will NEVER send a message or email that types out correctly the first time.
I feel like an idiot for spending 600 bucks on this thing.
I just bought the iPhone 24 hours ago. I love it!
In regards to the above-mentioned complaints and gripes, many of them are inaccurate.
This morning I did a speed test on dslreports.com with my iPhone. The EDGE system is akin to dial up But, most people have WiFi access anyway. So, who cares? I get 3,500kbps download speeds on my iPhone with WiFi! I never thought it would be this fast. Wow!
To change my T-Mobile number to AT & T… it took under and hour. I think the problems most people experienced were during the first few days of the iPhone release (when AT & T received a surge of new activations).
Japan has far superior phones? Uh. I took a look at those phones. They are not far superior. Maybe less $$.. but nothing like the iPhone.
I love the speed dial, pinching photos, etc. I’m not sure who is complaining about these features.
The keyboard? What do you expect on a cell phone? Who wants to carry around a full-size keyboard? All cell phones have tiny keyboards. Apple’s, however, is a touch screen & is amazingly easy to learn. I am doing things with my iPhone (SMS and e-mail) that I never did with my last cell phone.
I love the instant and constant syncing with my multiple e-mail accounts. This is amazing.
The screen is fragile(glass), yet gorgeous. Wow.
The iPhone is eaier to use than I expected… and more fun.
I also wish it had GPS. But, you can only put so much technology (phone, PDA, camera, MP3 player, internet browser, touch screen, etc) in something so small and new. Maybe in 2 - 3 years? Probably will happen.
if u can find me a phone that fixes all of these problem IN USA than ill agree, but till than, the keyboard is easy to use, the internet is fast, youtube works well, i don’t know what ur bitching about, maybe u r a mac hater, most people are but what ever ur problem is, sure theres flaws but its not like its perfect, they will make a different one i know and i bet it would fix these problems.. oh and GPS? wtf why would u want that, i have my own gps and y would u use it on a phone, um lets c, at&t isn’t what ever the hell u called it but i have it and it works fine, its cheep and all, and my plan went up 20 bucks a month for the phone….OH SO MUCH MONEY FOR POOR PEOPLE but for people who can aford stuff, its pocket change, and who plays games on a phone? i got my self a psp, a ds, a xbox, i got it all, and don’t start me on gaming, im one of the biggest halo fans in the world so i know alot about gaming and phone isn’t the way to go, and for songs as ring tones, u wold have to worry about that if u had xingtone ringtone maker, just make ringtones out of any audio file and send it via txt message and download it to ur phone, i do it all the time, not hard, and all ring tones phone companys give u suck, i never use them, and they get soo annoying that everyone has the same ring tone and its always the one named like “cingular tone” or “verison tone” i mean common, one phone goes off and u have to get ur phone out. and about saving files well…. GET A LAPTOP sure iphones are fun but there not a laptop, other wise they would b 2 time bigger and 3 times expensive… iphone isn’t a replace ment for a computer, so get laptop, use that, maybe u wan’t b as bitchy about it than, well w/e iphones gots its down but its certianlly gots its ups

IPHONE really SUCKS

The iPhone does not possess Flash support, because Apple does not support giving Adobe the monopoly over internet video. You Tube converted from Flash to H.264, which is open source - just for Apple. This is a good thing. It means that your internet video will stay open, and free, instead of closed and sponsored.
Anyone who has used an iPhone knows that it’s a superior mobile device. If it’s not for you, then that’s ok. But, I don’t see a single valid reason listed here. Even when I zoom. On a real webpage. On the real internet. On my iPhone. Does your CRZR do that?
And to the Apple bashers…I’d pit any Apple product against any similar non-Apple product…in any test, anywhere, any time.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article, but it sounds interesting…

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article, but it sounds interesting…
Yeah the iPhone is definitely a piece of shit.
My friend stood in line for 4 hours and bought this phone and two weeks later he fuckin hates it and ran it over with his truck on purpose. He is currently in $800 debt with AT&T. My nokia e70 made his phone beg for mercy; I pay $65 a month for the good package and paid $250 for the phone to begin with. Apple merchandise totally blows. The people that willfully purchase their merchandise and praise them to no end as if they are obviously nothing but committed brainwashed dipshits. They must be getting their cocks sucked by Steve Jobs. That is the only explanation that I can fathom.
I have taken a sledgehammer to an iPod I received for christmas. No joke.
I can’t believe no-one has mentioned the nokia N95 8GB. It will kick da a$$ of that rubbish iPhone any day. Dunno why anyone would get an iPhone, it sucks.
‘Nokia fanboooiiii’!!!!
People…it’s a phone. If you’re obsessed enough to camp outside Apple stores ready to hand over money for an untested product, then you really need to get a life.
Same goes for those saying ‘OMG IPHONE PEOPLE SUCK GO WINDOWS I LOVE BILL GATES’.
Look up the HTC TyTN II and you’ll see why the iphone really isn’t worth the hype. Slow connection (even Jobs admitted this), crap memory, no GPS, no IM as standard (what is this, 1995?), no video recording/calling. It looks fantastic, but with such a lack of features, it’s not worth the money.
Anyone who thinks that it’s something new and revolutionary is mistaken.
Of course, I’m going to enrage the Apple fanboys by daring to question the product of their geek overlord, but let’s face it- the iphone is just a cash cow. Marketing a $200 gadget for over twice that- you’ve got to congratulate the marketing team.
The iphone is going to have great sales- every kid with a rich or gullible parent is going to demand one. After all, you’ve seen the ads: if you don’t have an iphone you’re with WINDOWS and that makes you a DORK! Ironically Windows, as shit as it is, appeals to everyone, yet the Apple users I’ve met (not trying to generalise here) have all been geeks in denial.
I suppose if your internet addiction is wrapped up in a pretty white box, that makes it ok. The same idea applies to the iphone, Apple’s latest offering to wannabe rich kids and closet programmers.
This is the worst list ever, seriously
If you think that the web is all about flash, you need to stop writing web articles and stop using the internet all-together, please
its funny how upset some of you get about electronics. Cheap therapy I guess, but not as effective. My suggestion, join a Luddite religious cult and praise the virtues of the later Cat Stevens albums. Personal wealth through inner exploration dewd.
I am the publisher of a Magazine and a long time apple user. I recently ( August 17th) purchased an i-phone from the apple store in Reno Nevada. I specifically told them that I work in an all apple office and only used apple computers at home and I wanted to be sure I could transfer my phone numbers from my ATT phone - which happens to be an LG. I was told this was not a problem and the ATT store could in fact transfer all to a thumb drive and I could transfer numbers via i-tunes to my phone. It is more than a month later now and I have spent countless hours at ATT store - on their customer service line and on the apple help line as well as at two apple stores and the final outcome is as follows - If you do not have a PC - you cannot transfer your phone contacts from ANY ATT phone to your i-phone. It seems that this is a major oversight on your part, since the current apple users are the first people to buy and embrace your new product. You should also be aware that I have called over 20 ATT stores and have recorded their employees over and over telling me that transferring date from my ATT phone to my apple is “no problem”. Your apple help desk was not even aware of this issue and offered no solutions. I have visited two different apple stores and had over 10 of your “genius” guys tell me - ATT can do this for me - “no problem”.Keep your $100 credit - I want a class action suit - who is with me?
Your list is sucky. The iPhone is awesome. I’ve dropped mine plenty and no cracks. Youtube works great over WiFi
and so does the internet. Even the EDGE is pretty good. Good not awesome. The photos are also pretty nice. Update: plenty of new ringtones. Who cares about the battery. Cell phone batteries are a rip-off anyway.
You should have used your time better.
And I was able to get all my phone numbers transferred over to my iphone. Use the OSX address book.
[…] Wow, I totally didn’t know there’s THIS BIG A LIST […]
For that king of money it shouldnt have any flaws.my old crapy sony ericsson z1010, that i got for FREE, is still better than the Iphone.and its still 4 years old!.
also after 300 charges, the phone is useless and you need to buy a new battery.
“28. It creates incredibly annoying iPhone fanboys.”

You forgot 29
Apple makes it, so its already bad and doesn’t work
I am an American living temporarily in China. The Iphone unlocked is WORTHLESS over here and I’m guessing other places internationally.
I was told for $60.00 a month I’d have standard service (phone and data) and internationally I could use the phone just for email and surfing the net. Well…good thing I checked my bill because the plan they put me on only allows for 20 MB transfers….and unknowingly I blew throught that in days and my bill was a whopping $350.00. Since I have a wifi in my apartment in China, I figured that maybe that would allow it to be cheaper in terms of downloading data but I was told NOT THE CASE. It is still considered roaming when you are overseas.
Good thing I called AT&T because I found out that I was already over the limit for the next months billing cycle. Now for about a total of $105.00 a month I can get 50MB of downloads/surfing the Internet/email…and that DOES NOT include international calling. RIPPP OFFF !!!!!
All this means that you basically can’t use your iPhone for data very much or you will be billed up the a**.
Though the phone is pretty cool to look at…I found surfing the net is slow and tedious and most sites aren’t made for viewing with an iPhone. The email doesn’t seem to be immediate and unlike the Blackberry, does not seem to have immediate “push” technology. I can’t SMS in China because that is like a phone call and costs a roaming charge.
I can’t imagine a business person even contemplating using the iPhone seriously for business internationally…the Blackberry seems far superior.
Oh have to add that I also noticed the hand model also must have huge hands. Why? Because I am 6′3″ and I have huge hands and I could not recreate the photo in the ad because the phone was too big. I think the photo was doctored as well because of the proportions of the hand are just not normal.
I really am so glad I bought a Sony laptop instead of a Mac. Apple and AT&T piss me off so much and are going to have a huge whiplash effect if they don’t get their acts together and stop overcharging for overpriced crapy service.
The only good thing that happened over this is that AT&T was nice enought to take off my additional charges. After I told the customer service agent that the plan is just not realistically fair in price and I was told I had unlimited data, she took all the charges off and suggested I wait the last day of my billing cycle to remove the international portion of my service and I should just turn the phone off and remove the battery…can you even remove the battery? What a joke! Apple you suck and AT&T you suck just as much.
hahaha… a $140 nokia E61 is enough to put i phone back in its box , better if we dont compare this poor(but overpriced) thing with nokia N95
Ill tell u what… Ill never come to this sh*tty site again for any opinion of any matter. The only reason I would come back is to get a good chuckle at all of the extreme idiots lurking around posting their useless ‘opinions’. Thanks for nothing. By the way..maybe the www.who-sucks.com’s feature post should contain who-sucks?? www.Jefferson-sucks-Apple-iPhone-right-out-of-someones-a**.com

Love mine.
Hold on, let me check the popularity of this site on it right now…wow nothing shows up, anywhere. Hmmm…
I hacked my iphone to make it a lot better…video mms games etc…but i agree that standard iphone sucks
Well whats my biggest beef with this phone you ask? This is the only phone at this price range that i know of that can not save email attachments..I would like to download photos and add to my iphone library..but you cant. How about a real Ichat app instead of using Jive talk via the internet.
this phone really blows.I am returning mine and paying the 175.00 At&T contract
Iphone is not a good buisness tool and is far from a smart phone…its a $500.00 toy.
thanks for letting me vent
This is one of the worst phones I have ever used. No text forwarding or multiple recipients without hacking the damn thing. You can’t even transfer your pone book via your sim like any other phone. Thes are basics any low end phone can manage but this thing can’t. then things you would expect from a phone like this but it lacks compared to cheaper phones, bluetooth file sharing, non apple bluetooth headsets, drag and drop audio files without extra software, custom ringtones without paying for them, video ringtones, video recording etc. it can’t do any of these things.
I really wish i kept my W880i as I would have given this away instead. I guess i will be getting a W960i when my network starts stocking them, as that phone will do everything I would expect this one to do and be a damn site more user freindly.
All i can say is in direct contrast to the likeS of SE walkman phones which are good feature packed phones with a capable adio vidio player aded on, this is at best a gimic of an audio player with very basic phone features added. This si quite simply the worst phone I have ever owned, it’s all looks and no brains (I have put my sim in my old w800i I’d forgotten I still had which is a much more capable phone than this)
Did I also mention I don’t like this phone one bit
This is my opinion about Apple iPhone:
iPhone seems ok and very nice as new mobile telephone if you are willing to stand all the defects mention…but what i want to point out is the VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE Apple has !!!
I order an iPhone some days ago and i still didn’t received any confirmation from apple. When i checked in my bank account the money have been transfered. So i called Apple and after waiting and being charged they said that the reason for not receiving the confirmation email is because the Billing Infromation is wrong ?!?!?! WTF ??? If the billing information is wrong how can you draw money from my account ???
Don’t worry it gets worse……
After this little conversation i decided to abort the purchase order…So i logged in my account to the official apple page and canceled the order…But you know what ??? I noticed that the money that were supposed to be returned were £228 which is not true since i paid £269 for the freaking iPhone…. That is a difference of about £40….
You know what??? I never was an Apple guy and this was my first attempt for an Apple product….and believe me this is definitely the LAST !!!!!
Are you guys stupid?
I do not hate macs (though there tech is outdated compared to other hardware platforms) I hate Mac owners they have got to be some of the most smug shits on the planet with such massive reality distortion fields all powered by steve jobs ego.
Come on, Apple fans. Face the facts. I bought my wife an iphone for xmas, so I’m not talking out my ass here. iPhones are pretty, flashy fashion accessories. My old Cingular 8125 does everything the iphone does. Yes,the iphone does a couple of things better, but the trade-offs, many of which appear in this admittedly biased article, are not worth it. The on-screen keyboard really does suck. No MMS. No expandable memory. Have to buy ringtones for $2 each from iTunes. No video camera. No zoom camera. No GPS. No Stereo Bluetooth!!! Oh, and my wife already had to have it replaced once — sim card error — and now her second one is freezing up. Oh, and no third party software. The Apple iPhone is a Gilded turd.
Okay people. I do not like apple products. However I tried the iPhone and guess what? It is a great phone. This article is not bearing much truth. Let take a look at what is claimed and what is true….
1. At $599, it is ridiculously expensive. (Add in the cost of an AT&T contract and you get close to $1500)
Not any more. The my 8GB model cost me 440 and I renewed my contract. The better cell service provider require a deposit. Bad call on pinning that on the iPhone. Did you know that if you maintain good credit you talk them down into about say 200 bucks? I know from my own experience that you can.
2. Those who want to buy one must sell their soul to evil mega-corporation AT&T.
Because all the other service providers have golden halos. This reason was given has a filler. Weak.
3. Japan already has technologically superior phones, and they’re far cheaper.
However we don’t have them. Make due with you Razor until then.
4. Slower Internet than the commercials show: “The data experience is going to be very slow. If you’re on a cellular network, [using the Internet] is going to be very slow.”
Not if you are in a wifi hotshot. Yes Edge sucks but not to many places you go will not have wifi. Once you are on you fly.
5. Initial reports indicate that YouTube is slow and crappy using cellular network internet/EDGE. It’s nothing like in the commercials.
See above(invalid complaint 4). This is what we have wifi for.
6. You cannot remove its battery. Thanks for replicating one of the biggest complaints about the ipod, Apple!
It’s called a warranty. You get two for like 75 bucks. That warranty covers the battery. Why mess with it.
7. The glass touch screen of the iPhone guarantees that thousands of customers who drop their phones will have cracked screens.
False. The screen is tough has nails. I have had mine since the first of Oct.07. Not a scratch on the screen. This is a bogus thing to write.(My iPhone has been dropped)
8. The touchscreen keyboard sucks, according to those who have used the phone.
For about a day it does. The spell check earns your trust after about day two. Consider the source. Some will like it some won’t.
9. It can’t send MMS picture messages.
Ever heard of email. Most phones are capable. Possibly your only argument that I agree alittle with. It can be maneuvered around how ever.
10. The camera has little or no options, and the pictures it takes aren’t very good.
That is a straight up lie. It adjust well to lighting. No it doesn’t have a flash. You got me there. Guy I better turn on the lights to take a picture. Darn!
11. It lacks proper support for Flash websites. So much for the internet.
And your phone displays a better internet? It doesn’t have to be perfect to be the best. I have tried Blackberrys, the 8525, the black jack, razor, and many other phones that have watered down browsers. Not the iPhone. Try it some time. I am sure that you have an AT&T near you.
12. It can’t record video.
Wow you got me there. The music, satellite maps, hybrid map, personalized home pages(up to 9) automatic email updates every 15,30,45, or 60 minutes, many widgets, and the very sexy phone help me to look over that.
13. “Pinching” pictures to zoom might look neat in commercials, but many reviewers are saying it actually sucks.
I don’t think so. You can also double tap to zoom. You have options on how you browse pictures.
14. It lacks 3G high-speed data transfer.
Believe me it is not slow(see invalid complaint 4 & 5).
15. No songs as ringtones.
Go to iTunes and make your own. I have 23 on my iPhone that I put on there.
16. No GPS.
A web app is due to be out in a couple of weeks. It is made just for the iPhone. It will allow you to use you iPhone has a GPS device.
17. It doesn’t work under 64-bit Windows XP / Windows Vista!!!!!!! Thanks for not including that in your Windows System Requirements, Apple!
Dude, do you know who Apple is? Did you really think that they would let you have a third party app let alone a different OS on it?! Why do you think I am so hard on Apple!
18. It only allows for a maximum of 1 picture to be attached to each e-mail you send.
True. Did you know that if you sync your iPhone you can send all the pictures at once from a PC? That is somewhat of an inconvenient feature.
19. It doesn’t have a file browser/organizer.
LOL. Thats is all I can say.
20. Its default ringtones suck.
Right and most phones do. This is grasping at straws. It’s tones beat the majority of the phones you will buy.
21. You can not save documents on it: documents can only be viewed as attachments when they’re sent to your e-mail address.
How many phones do you that can download and open attachments. Not many.
22. No games!!
There are over 900 games available.
23. Its “quick list” dialing sucks compared to traditional speed dialing, which it lacks..
Not really.It is called favorites. Two touches and you dial. You need to go try one of these. If you are going to write a review then don’t use third party information.
24. Long activation waits: many new iPhone users are reporting that they are being told to wait hours or even days to activate service for their phone. Thanks, AT&T!
I was up and running in no time. I even talked the people at AT&T into setting up my iTunes account since I would be at home till later that night. Try this on for size. In under ten minutes I had an iTunes account and an activated iPhone that was good to go.
25. Heat issues: the iPhone can get very hot when it is in use.
Which phone doesn’t? Come on guy.
26. Deceptive Ads: Apple has been using models with gigantic hands in their advertisements for the iPhone in an effort to trick consumers into believing it is more compact.
It is bigger than some phones. It is smaller than some too! Like Blackberrys, BlackJacks, Palm Treos, 8525 & Tilt. Once again do you know Apple at all? They claim no viruses, no hackers, and claim that they own a big share in the OS market. Lies. Nothing new here guy.
27. Many of the positive press reports about the iPhone are influenced by newspapers and TV networks that simply want to profit from the hypefest, or even worse, reporters who are looking to sell books about the iPhone.
This is true with any phone. Don’t pick and choose here . You can claim this for every product ever made. That includes Vista.
28. It creates incredibly annoying iPhone fanboys.
Once again not a valid reason. Microsoft has been creating pimple faced nerds that live with their parents at 23+ for has long has I can remember. Don’t call names.
Let me state this again…
“I hate Macs, Mac Desktops, Towers, Macbooks, iPods, and about every other product Apple has ever made. However I love the iPhone. It is the best Multimedia phone on the market. Bottom line. Your points were mostly invalid third party reviews. Don’t review a product you don’t own or have used more than three times.
Many of the issues stated in the comments have been fixed with update 1.1.3. With every update the iPhones flaws are getting fixed. Like sending an SMS message to multiple people. Now you can. The freezes are due to user error, RESET YOUR PHONE ONCE EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.
After 300 charges some claim it won’t work. Who here has charged it more than three hundred times?
In all truth you had about three issues that could be inconvient. Way the pros and the cons and you come out with a winner.
Well, with LocateMe app. installed on iPhone it can define you coordinates and show you on the google map..
iPod + Phone = Great toy for pimply teenagers.
suckiest=iphone fanboys
half of the reasons you gave there were, X sucks (according to people who have used it). There will allways be people that dislike things because its human nature. And also “Jailbreaking” although it breaks your warrenty gives you countless tools including games.
Maddox can´t be wrong: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone
My name says it all
Get a life, dude!
Anyone who spends that kind of cash on a phone is out of their damn mind.
I could buy a basic computer with that kind of money….

Thank you to Travis (number 84) for actually thinking. I think we need more people like this in the world to show the rest of the sheep where they are going wrong. I personally dont have an iphone but this person obviously did some research on the pros and cons. The iphone is actually a great piece of technology first of all because it is very thin, it looks good, it works well and generally it is another great innovation from apple inc. who create lots of competition for the rest of the world. Dont get me wrong, though I just feel that if people really want to make an opinion, they must look at all aspects. Thank you very much over and out.
First of all i think iphones are pieces of shit. If they were faster than edge i might consider them. I used one in the apple store and i really liked the design and big screen, youtube videos looked great on the it too. After i heard it has edge I realized that its pointless getting an iPhone. The camera is a piece of shit that looks like crap and cant even record videos. What the fuck?… even the worst phones can record videos. Also, if my battery dies I dont wanna wait for them to ship it to fucking china so they can get it replaced. And that wifi is bull shit. Im not just gonna go to a store or restaurant and pray that it has wifi. I have access to it where i live but thats why i have a computer, works much better than iPhone for sure. The only reason they are competition is cuz apple is smart and know how to get you dumb shits fanboys to buy their producs. Apple think they can make phones but they dont know shit exept to fool you into buyng it. Next the prolly gonna come up with a 300$ toothbrush that u cn watch videos on it while brushing your teeth, which would actually be worth 30 bucks for the lcd in it.
apple haters. pc computers are for cheap bitches. i could name far more than 50 reason why pc users suck and why most phones are superior. almost everything in your petty list is something you have to get used to. sure the camera isn’t the best but if you want a real camera than buy a real camera. and texting is easy once you use it. who gives a fuck about watching you tube on your phone. it’s 400 dollars and the at&t plan is not bad at all. lastly you complain about an evil corp. yet you run windows. haha. haters. little bitches who are cheap whiners. there are sites about people hating on pcs like there is on pc people hating on apple. apple is far superior. you can even run windows on macs. fuckin dumbass
Upload and share videos, find and watch single clips, chatten, flirt, blog,vote and comment on your favorites, add cool single videos to your Coldtube geile Videos unter http://www.coldtube.com
Point number 1 is not valid if you can get the iphone for free. Hence, look at my website www.freeiphone4me.com
On this site: a bunch of butthurt fags that can’t afford the iphone. Enjoy being poor and googling iphone sucks so you can feel better about your shitty non iphones. I will be living it up with the best phone out.
First off I am not a Mac hater - I love Mac, however my N95 8GB does EVERYTHING the iPhone does plus more, It cost me significantly less and I am able to use it on any mobile carrier. The iPhone does not suck — but it is hardly state of the art, it is simply a mobile phone with touch screen and a cool user interface nothing more nothing less
Peace Out
1. $599 is about 387.92Euro
Any other phone like the nokia N series of HTCprofessional series are far more expensive
Name me 1 phone which has ALL the features of the iphone, and is cheaper…
2. My Iphone is simfree, I live in a country (Belgium)where At&T doesn’t even exist…
3. I don’t speak japanese- and I believe I’m not the only one here…and even then: I’ve been looking on the internet before i bought my phone - show me 1 phone that has 16GB storage- I don’t believe you’ll find one- not even in Japan….let alone the cover flow aps , or eyetv possibility…
4. internet connection depends on the cellular network’s speed. When I use my Iphone it’s the same speed as a nokia phone, and wifi works far faster than the nokia N95.
5. youtube works fine.
all video’s on Youtube that aren’t supported can be donloaded and viewed by simply installing a download app from modmyiphone.com
6. I don’t need to replace the battery , because it works fine
the problem with battery life you’re talking about on the Ipods dates from the 2nd generation Ipods.
The 3rd generation Ipods has been launched since end 2007 allready…are you still living in 2006?
7. Why would this phone break faster than any other?
I’ve just trown away my HTC phone because the case broke when I bumped against my desk a work, ahad my phone in my pocket… I’ve got a silicone case around my Iphone and it’s just as strong as any other phone.
8. The keyboard sucks… yeah right- I type faster than on a regular phone on which I have to tap a key 3 times to type the letter “c”…- and that is without the amazing dictionary that’s included - It remembers all words that I use regularly. And just as any other device- practice makes perfect.
9. I can send MMS messages (download swirly MMS app from the internet directly with safari on your Iphone) and I usually send an e-mail: better quality, and faster- also directly from my Iphone…
10. 2 megapixel camera- just as good as any other cameraphone on the market- or no, even better: due to the accelerometer the Iphone knows automatically when you take a landscape picture,and when you hold your phone upwards- so no more rotating pictures when transferring them to your PC.
11. yes it has no flash support- I haven’t seen any phone yet that does…not for 599 anyway!
12. wrong! it can: just google “showtime for iphone”
You can even download apps to edit video on the iphone- haven’t seen any other phone that can do that before…
13. explain to me what other way of viewing websites on a screen of that size is better…
Pinching is wonderfull- not even to mention the coverflow, or slide to scroll trough your libraries of pictures and contacts.
14. True, it has EDGE… rumours are that a 3G model would be released in the near future.
15. Itunes has a unique feature to make custom ringtones from any of your tracks.
16. it has no GPS, but it suports Google maps, which you can use with verizon- and it takes me everywhere I want. works great even though I thought it wouldn’t…
17. It isn’t compatible with my nintendo 64, or my sega either, but I don’t care. technology is the future , stop living in the past…
18. No it doesn’t- it. I can send multiple- it can be the fact when you send it over the cellphone network, and you have a limited data transfer limit- but then you should switch provider…
19. You can use mobilefinder for the iphone - just google (which you can do right from your iphone..)
If you add “iphonedownloader”, you can manage your downloads as well.
20. That is your personal opinion, not a fact
I think they are just as good as any other phone, and as allready mentionned- you CAN customise them easily by using ITunes.
21. Come on man.. have you even seen an Iphone in real life- you know nothing! I can read PDF’s, powerpoints keynotes, anything you want on it. At least test your device before wrinting some crap on the internet!
22. you can download games from itunes.
There are 10x more apps available for the Iphone than for ANY other phone on the market.
Also Check out the keynote presentation from Steve Jobs from march, in which SEGA present “monkeyball for the Iphone” - They clearly state that they had to fly in a developper to enhance the graphics of the games because they were able to build a FULL CONSOLE GAME on a mobile device!
The accelerometer is the same thing that is fitted into your Nintendo WII- get ready for some amazing games in the future, and not just the stupid tetris and sudoku crap you can play on other phones nowadays.
23. You can set a “favorites” list in you contacts, so you can dail them with 1 tap on the screen- how fast would you like it? It supports voice dailing as well (app downloadable from modmyiphone)
24. Like I told you before- AT&T doesnt exist here in Belgium. What I can say is that i’ve had to wait with my provider long times as well in the past- sometimes phonelines are busy, and that will be the same with AT&T as well - especially when they are selling millions of Iphones, and the have a lot of customers- their employees will have their hands full..But is that a bad thing?
25. I’ve got no complaints about heat…
BTW remember the exploding NOKIA batteries- Heat isn’t that bad then…
26. It’s not larger or smaller than a typical smartphone.
It is half as thin though!- and my hands are normal, and it fits great in my palm…
Are you that kind of guy that complains to the pornstar because his ***** is larger than yours?- hilarious!
27. Objectivity isn’t your speciality either…you’ve done no research and write things you know nothing about- before writing an article like this one; test the device!
28. I think persons like yourself who just write articles about a device they haven’t tested are just as annoying.
I happy with my iphone- which doesn’t mean that I think it’s perfect- A lot of things should be added or enhanced before it’s perfect.
A lot of that should be evolving fast in the near future with Apple releasing the Iphone SDK (if you don’t know what that is - check apple.com)
I do find it very incorrect that you comment a device which you obviously haven’t tested, or about which you’ve done little or no research.
For all the non-believers that still think their Nokia-or-whatever-other-brand phones are better that the Iphone- think again:
I’ve owned a Nokia N95, and an HTC smartphone recently and non of them could do stuff like: store an entire box of “friends” episodes”, play movies troug wifi which were recorded with eyetv and stored on a harddisk in my network, flicker trough fotos with a slide , buy itunes tracks, and play them within half a minute, install additional software, without connecting to a pc or mac…
I tell you: test an iphone - google everything you can about it - check all the apps, and then come back and tell me what it can’t do- I’m sure you’ll find it works just fine and you can do some stuff with it you never would have thought were possible…
I agree with every single one. Some dude up there said some of the reasons are subjective and yes they are. But who cares? I mean, this is HIS opinion. Why r people being so hard on the guy for putting HIS opinion out there. I OWN an iPhone and I hate it. Sure it looks good and the touch screen is huge and cool. But the lack of so many basic features and details that every single phone out there has is very annoying. I’m looking for someone who wants to buy it from me so I can buy another phone. I hate it bcoz of everything this guys says. I actually ended up on this site bcoz i starting to think i was the only one who has hate it for all those reasons. Again: this is MY opinion and it doesn’t matter it my reasons are subjective. I’m still allowed to say it sucks. Just like I’m allowed to say “the collour red sucks” (the dude up there said i wasn’t :p)
look guys, phones are for talking, not for any crap web browsing or an iPod ok and iPhone fans don’t be hatin’ on me cuz I have an iPhone and I have to go outside almost everywhere just to get 3 bars, even in my house!!! Ok if u want a phone with high end features buy a treo, they are reliable trust me and stay away from the evil wrath of AT&T.
They might have their disadvantages but they’re the best product on the market at present.
I actually got the IPhone as a gift for Christmas and I am already over it! The phones wi-fi never works and when there is no wi-fi around then other features on the phone dont work. The only time I can get into itunes is when I hook the stupid phone up to the computer. This phone is seriously stupid and for the price it is so not worth it! I advise anyone thinking about getting the IPhone to not get one and save your money for something better. I mean even the ATT bill is rediculous. I HATE THE IPHONE!!!!!
Hey for the first few hours the iphone needs some getting used to,keyboard etc.
But after that,its a fucking breeze to use.seamless sync with iTunes,fast wifi connectivity..
I am typing this on my iPhone and its become a part of my life,I’m glad to say.
Seriously stop hating,its really good.Apple is not just selling iPods,its selling a lifestyle.
Well no matter what I say people will still hate due to the fact that their phone doesn’t have touchscreen and stuff.
Grow up and learn to adapt and you’ll find life easier.
Go Apple users!
We are much enlightened than you are,seriously.
if anyone wants to change there iphone for something fun-tastic..go with the ” nokia n95 8g ” now that’s a phone …
I am a lead design engineer on the IPHONE 2.0 and would like to share some insight. I can now confirm the rumor that G.P.S will be a part of the new IPHONE. As with all Apple products we have taken it to the next level and you will not find G.P.S like thin in any other device. The new IPHONE will feature thousands of microscopic legs like a centipede, so that it better position its self up your dumb ass. For those of you that don’t know already or have not had the pleasure of testing out a private demo G.P.S stands for Gerbil Positioning Device. I’m sure all of you HOMO’s will love the new IPHONE and its wonderful new G.P.S. CAUTION, always make sure the usb cable is attached when using G.P.S.

I just tried to update my iPhone for the third time and hoped it wouldn’t go the same way as my past two updates did, but I was wrong. Three updates, three times where EVERYTHING on the damn phone was deleted! FUCK APPLE!
Volumes could be written about ” Why Windows sucks , Why WM sucks, and Why the world cannot come up with a phone to Match Iphone , or can they ? If they can, where is it ? Lousy Windows Mobile units , ugly and uncomfortable !Sure Iphone is not God, comes short of perfect in many ways, but I would take Iphone over this underdeveloped windows garbage any time of the day. My windows days are over, forget ya !
- You don’t have tasks.
- You cannot attach pictures to replies
- You don’t have cut’n'paste
- You are forced to use fuckin’ legacy cable to synchronize. WLAN sync: no, GPRS sync: no, Bluetooth sync: no.
Another crapy part of it
how are you suposed to talk when the mouthpeich is in the front and earphone in the back?
what are you suposed flip it back and forth??
[…] en go. De wereld een plezier doen, daar is het toch allemaal om te doen. Waarom ik de IPhone maar niks vind? […]
totally agree, however, even with the new update iphone coming up, it still sucks.imagine urself driving and need to make a call..will take u ages to move from an application to another!! my friend got it was so happy with it, i told her i hate it and it wont last long with u.. she returned it after 3 weeks…. i knew it !!!! it just sucks….
p.s. new technology should make ur life easier-not more complicated !!!
Sorry you apple fanboys but go back to your hippy congress and gtfo of the web.
I feel happy when I see you emos talking on iphones and crying when the battery dies.
I feel obnoxious when I see you retards talking on iphones and thinking that you are “cool” when you are obviously making fools of yourselves.
I feel sad when I see people wasting their money on such a piece of crap called the iphone.
I just can’t believe people still supports Apple. What is wrong with the humanity. Earth is going downhill because of douches like mac fanboys. You just make me sick.
As I read these posts, the moronic criticisms of the iPhone just remind me how Mac users are so much more intelligent and reasonable than its critics. In my opinion, Windows works perfectly fine but at this point, Macs are much simpler, original, and more effective…
The new iPhone do not have all the features of my 3 years old SonyEricsson…. IPhone is a waste ot money (and time).
[…] Starbucks zombies who now have 600 less places to get their fix and show off their iPhone … the list could go on and […]
one things for sure.. i dun hate apple.. i love the computers and the ipod.. but i DON’T like the iphone.. not hate.. but don’t..
Iphones are practically expensive and is not worth the price.. 2 megapixel camera with no AF.. the new iphone 3G doesn’t even allow us to do video calls.. For the same price, you can get another phone with Wifi, 3.5G, GPS.. U may consider the N95 8GB from nokia or Samsung Innova8 or also if u want the “Iphone interface, there’s a lot of 3rd party softwares for it”.. If that is what you want..
All i wanna say is Iphone is a good product but not that good.. The idea of it is brilliant but there should be more feature pack specs on it.. A video call mode.. An auto focus camera (u dun tend to bring all your gadgets in your pocket right? So an autofocus cam is a must.. In case there’s an interesting shot for you to take)..
Man you know Whats better than an iphone the voyager its less expensive and has a touch screen too and you know what it also has tactile response which is even better aka buttons yea and it has way more features go get a voyager its like the iphone with less suck only thing is no wifi but overall a less sucktacular phone
I have been working with iTunes Store Support for a week, but have not been able to resolve the infamous “Authorisation Loop” error, so thought I would share and vent my frustrations here.
I upgraded to 7.7.1.11 recently and since the upgrade none of the $1,000 worth of songs videos and TV Shows purchased and downloaded will play in iTunes or our Apple TV.
When I click on a song, movie or show, we receive the message “This computer is not authorized…”.
I than put in the password and receive the hopeful message: “Machine Authorization was Successful”, but the songs, videos and shows still don’t play. When you click on the title again it again re-asks for “authorization”.
I have tried all of the suggested fixes and set of instructions received from iTunes Store support and the support website, including:
* De-authorising, re-authorising
* Re-installing iTunes
* Removing the SC folder
* Re-building the iTunes Library
* Re-building iTunes Preferences
* Creating a new user acount and installing iTunes
* Installing iTunes on a different computer with a different operating system
* Re-installed songs from a backup
* Updating iTunes Store Account Information
* Scanned for viruses
* Updated Windows
* Consulted a psychic
* Had my laptop exorcised
* and many more
.. of course every time you do most of these things the Apple TV is wiped and spends hours re-syncing with iTunes over my wireless network which adds to the frustration.
I have been a loyal shareholder and customer to Apple and iTunes and was even in the process of purchasing iPhones for the family, but this most recent set of issues (this is the second time by the way for us to go through this exact problem) is becoming very aggravating - beyond what I can put up with.
Having invested well over $1,000 in Apple, and having also upgraded my internet connection to cater for more download limits, we have decided to ditch our Apple love affair, and move to a much more reliable and robust on-demand entertainment delivery system - like the new Foxtel Cable HD On Demand.
Apple - you have absolutely received the very last dollar from me.
I have spent hours attempting to configure Exchange Active Sync with Iphone 2.0. I finally called Apple Enterprise support and there stance is I do not work for Microsoft therefore I cannot help you. The issue is Apple will not give us any concrete answers on how they would like the Exchange Server Setup. This is exactly why Apple will never surpass Microsoft. At least Microsoft is working with me on the this issue, Apple refused. Great work Apple. I own a IT consulting company with about 500 + clients. I have tested this with one of my smaller clients. Just 2 phones. I will be letting the rest of my client base and who ever asks never buy an Iphone.
One more reason is, its price in India 31k INR and 36K INR, which is not at all worth paying for this iphone.
Safari is a web browser which is used on the iPhone.
Unfortunately, the File..Upload browsing ability is disabled when Safari is used on an iPhone.
If anyone knows a way around this, we would be grateful because we bought the iPhone based on its advert which said that it had a full web browser.
The File Upload would have really helped our business to work faster without our staff needing to commute back and forth to the office. Needless to say, we feel some negativity towards the wording of their advert.
This is why it actually does suck:
1) Itunes (only one computer, difficult to transfer, no remote sync unless you pay money
2) Crappy web, calendar and email apps. The list of missing features is too long but her excerpt, : No search, no user definable column view, no organization ability, no weekly calendar view, on ivite capability in cal, …….
3) The keyboard is very difficult for male fingers , you cannot use a stylus
4) It does not pick up addresses from mail just contacts
5) The screen resolution is just ok, Check out the new bold
6) Apple prevents anyone from improving these apps you can only write new ones but not change the crappiest ones which are of course the ones from apple.
ALL in ALL, BUSINESS USERS “”"”GET THE NEW BOLD “”"”
Why don’t you shutup and find something that really sucks to write a list about. You are such a tool, go pound sand.
Apple can come and kiss my butt!!, This IPhone piece of shit is over-engineered, bloated and the eye candy is for folks that didn’t have a girlfriend before. They masturbate saying oooh god ooh god look how wonderful looks the Aqua Button ROFL.
obviously coming from someone who cant even afford to buy a cheeseburger from the dollar menu.
cant wait till tmobile g1 android is released ima get that its gonna own the iphone aka ishit…
How about CRASHES!!! All of the built-in applications crash a lot– Safari, Phone, Contacts, Notes, YouTube, Email, etc, etc. All of them CRASH. Often. Safari crashed about 10 times last night. An no syncronization of files– even plain-text files. It is kiddy toy– not a productivity machine. Oh well, Apple feeds the glam-and-glitz (pinch a picture, auto-rotate screen, etc) and forgets the bread-and-butter (saving a file, copy-and-paste, etc).
I just bought my iPhone 3G a few weeks ago. There are definitely some annoyances, no doubt. I think they’ve addressed a number of the things on this list - the 3G network takes care of a lot of issues (I’m sure it’s not the best 3G network, but it’s been pretty good so far… then again I’m coming over from Sprint, so that’s not saying much).
Honestly, I don’t think anyone looking for the latest and greatest in technology would even consider the iPhone. And I don’t really think that’s the market Apple is going for. Personally, I loved my iPod and used it a lot, and the idea of having it and my phone in a single device was exactly what I wanted. I am not a phone super-user… I use my phone and iPod moderately. Whether it has all of the features other phones do was not of that much importance to me.
The whole “Apple rules - Apple sucks” argument is tired. Apple is going after a particular part of the market, period, and I think that they have succeeded. I had been pretty anti-Apple most of my life, but I have to admit that they sold me on the iPhone. It’s intutive, easy to use, and allowed me to combine three things I use on a regular basis into a single device. I’d say they get high marks for that, regardless of whether there are better features available on other phones or not.
The price is steep, for sure. The 3G is cheap ($199 for the 8GB) if you are a new customer, but the plan you are forced to sign on for ($30 unlimited data plan is REQUIRED in addition to your minutes) is a bit excessive, and more than makes up for the discount they give you on the phone. There are some good discounts available, though depending on your employee.
Criticisms: the touch keyboard definitely takes a while to get used to, and how they have not incorporated the landscape keyboard into texting and e-mail is beyond me (though there are some nice, free apps that take care of this for e-mail). However, the auto-correct feature is very, very good, and I can typically screw up 90% of the words I type and the message is perfect when I am done because of auto-correct.
The apps do crash with surprising regularity - especially Safari and the App Store. I can understand if the third-party apps crash - they are being programmed by relative nobodies - but the built-in apps should be stable. Rebooting the phone usually takes care of this, but it can be mind-numbingly frustrating. I don’t want to “reboot” my phone. I do that with my PC enough.
The camera isn’t great for sure, and the calendar, photos, and notes built-in apps leave a lot to be desired. But, other than that, I have very little to complain about. The number of free apps available that make the phone better is pretty staggering (Pandora, for example, is just plain awesome, even without WiFi). I have yet to find something I need that the iPhone flat-out can’t do. Maybe it can’t do it better than every other phone out there, but it can do it.
Lost in the whole conversation is the iPod itself, which is still great, and actually even better than my old one (30GB video). 8GB doesn’t seem like much, but apps take up almost no room, so you really have about 7GB to work with even with everything related to phone, e-mail, and apps.
I will probably never be convinced to go with Apple for a desktop or laptop computer. But I have to give them credit for the iPhone. It is far from perfect, and it definitely is not for everyone, but it has filled a need for me.
As for the whole fanboi thing, this is not something exclusive to iPhones or Apple products. Yeah, Apple fans tend to really go off the deep end defending the company, but there are just as many people circle-jerking to their Blackberry/Palm/Nokia/RAZR/whatever. It’s annoying regardless of who does it or what kind of phone they have.
Buy the phone that fits what you need. End of story. The iPhone is definitely hyped beyond belief, but there is a reason for the hype (even if it is way too much).
I just wanna say that I have had my iPhone for 4 months and I love it. I have dropped it, kicked it, spilled things on it and it still works great. I have GPS, the camera is awesome, the fact that I can surf the web in the palm of my hand is great, the keyboard is fantastic. Ya ok it doesnt have ringtones that are great, but you can go onto iTunes and create your own. The only downer for me is that I cant sms pics to people and that it doesnt ring or something when I have mail. Other than that, I love it.
Oh and I just wanted to add that you can save email attachments. Maybe I have a newer version of the phone than some of you. I guess it all depends on what you expect of the phone. I expect a camera, cell phone, internet, ipod and texting so for me, its been perfect. The keyboard is really easy to you and it has an automatic spell checker so even if you dont type the word properly, the phone will change it to what you meant to type. Everyone is totally entitled to their own opinions, but until you have the phone in your hands and are able to use it, then you really cant base your opinion on what you may have heard.
Oh I only paid $149.00 for it too…
I dont hate the iphone, is not one of the best phones around that’s for sure, and I would never consider to buy it (mine is lightyears better) but is another fashion gadget and if you like it it’s ok, but what I really want to say is:
I work for Motorola and I just want to say Im so freakin’ tired of people calling us complaining that they cannot use a BT Stereo headset with their iPhone.. as if it was OUR fault that the iPhone does not have A2DP… and the worst is that when you try to explain that is the phone does not have the capability, the most common answer we get is “Are you kidding me! it’s an iphone! how come you’re saying is the phone that cannot do it?” next to this, hey hang up yelling, “you liars I bought a Motorola bt headset that does not work with my Iphone, and you’re trying to tell me is the iPhone’s fault?”
Apple fanboys in denial… jaj..
I have the latest 16GB iPhone and it has some cool features but the things that suck about it are:
- You can’t forward an SMS message or store draft messages in memory. Stupid & annoying.
-The landscape keyboard only appears using Safari (at $1 per MB) and not for SMS or notes.
-There’s no video camera. I just assumed there would be one if my 3 year old Motorola had one.
-Many downloadable apps crash or cause others to crash.
-iTunes is fu@%ing terrible, unfriendly software.
The OS software can be upgraded, so my hope is that some of these problems will be resolved. If they aren’t resolved there are now plenty of other options for an new handset.
I’ve just updated my iPhone and I cannot even make a f**king phone call. I agree with every listed reason. they are pretty true from the perspective of an iPhone user who has just changed from Sony Ericsson.
Im quite disapointed, yes its a very cool phone, and i love touch screen phones. But its hard to take a decent picture with the iphone, you have to buy almost everything adding to the cost, half of the things on it dont work (my bluetooth wont even find other devices.) Youtube works great for me its fine. I have just changed from a sony erricson k800i, not the best phone but im getting annoyed with how high the expectations of the iphone were and how little it acctualy does
I still love my iphone though!
we can’t forward received sms to anyone.
I decided to migrate from my Nokia E51 to Iphone 3G.
The Nokia is about one third of the price of the Iphone.
The Iphone’s ability to connect to 3G, is noticably, considerably weaker than the Nokia’s. Iphone crawls along with GPRS and Edge whereas Nokia flies on “3.5G” when benchmarked side-by-side on the same web sites / Email applications. I am not sure that the Iphone has 3.5G - only 3G which may be the reason that it defaults to slower GPRS / EDGE.
IPhone does not have a compatible Bluetooth keyboard whereas Nokia does (I am writing this review on my Nokia E51 using a $50 I-Go BT keyboard, having Emailed a Financial Times Article (the Iphone hasnt loaded the FT home page yet).
Touch screen typing on the Iphone sucks.
Itunes sucks. I listen to my music on the Nokia - much easier to manage.
Nokia E51 is half the size, weight of Iphone for v similar functionality.
Removable Nokia SD card = $13 for 4gigs - considerably cheaper than Iphone memory.
I can file transfer docs easily between Nokia and Windows File Manager either using Bluetooth or USB cable. Iphone wont store docs.
I can sync my contacts with more than one PC using PC sync via Bluetooth. (I update my home contacts automatically this way every time my Nokia is within Bluetooth range of either my work or home PC) Iphone only syncs with one PC, and not via Bluetooth.
Iphone goesn’t have a global search function. Nokia will search all my Emails. Docs, Addresses, calendar etc for a name / whatever.
I cant edit docs, Spreadsheets, Presentations with Iphone. Nokia can and can spellcheck, Email docs.

I still find it funny how Apple advertises the Iphone and Ipod Touch as revolutionary.
Lets compare them with my 4 year old PDA(Dell X51v).
Processor speed:
Iphone/Itouch, 412 MHz ARM processor
X51v, 624 MHz ARM Processor
—–
3D chip:
Iphone/Itouch, PowerVR MBX 3D(Power VR MBX Lite)
X51v, Intel 2700(Power VRMBX Lite)
—–
Screen Resolution:
Iphone/Itouch, 480×320
X51v, 640×480
—–
Ram:
Iphone/Itouch, 128 mb
X51v, 64mb, can be up to 128 mb with upgrade
—–
Both have touch Screen and WiFi.
—–
Memory:
Iphone/Itouch, 8, 16, or 36gb
X51v, 190mb internal, up to 16gb for SD slot and maybe 32gb. I’ve seen 32gb used for the CF slot, it should work with more. For what I have done, up to 48gb total for my X51v. By swapping card I have essentially unlimited storage.
—–
Battery:
Iphone/Itouch, None user replaceable
X51V, user replaceable.
That mean on a long bus ride or plane ride, if your Iphone or Itouch runs out of batteries and you have no power thing, you are screwed, while I merrily take out a charged battery and swap with my dead one.
—–
Software:
Iphone/Itouch, needs to Jailbreak to swap software. 20,000+ apps
X51v, drag software to SD or CF card, plug into X51v, tap to install as many times in as many windows mobile phones and PDAs as I want. Oh, 30,000+ programs from a single sit alone.
Side note: Can someone sue apple for a false claim? There are more programs for Windows Mobile phones then there are for the Iphone. That means Apples commercial “More apps then any other Phone” is false.
—–
Music and video works for both, and I can play more formats then the locked down software of the Iphone/Itouch.
Youtube works for both too, along with web surfing(yes, full webpages on my X51v, double tap to zoom in and I can set how far I want it to zoom).
—–
Interface is very subjective. While I like my customizable interface of the X51v, most of the general public is too lazy, dumb, and ignorant to be allowed such a thing since they will inadvertently mess it up by “hey, lets see what this button does” and put full balm on the software and not themselves.
—–
Phone:
Iphone, yes
Itouch, maybe, over internet
X51v, maybe, if you have a CF sim card or WiFi(over internet phone).
—–
Tilt sensor:
Iphone/Itouch, yes
X51v, no, but some other PDAs and similar ones have it.
—–
Camera:
Iphone/Itouch, yes
X51v, no, well CF cameras aren’t that great.
—–
Style is subjective. The X51v is a bit bigger then the Iphone/Itouch(yes I have used all three devices). But then it does have to fit 2 expansion slots, a stylus, and actual buttons.
—–
Price:
Iphone, $1000+ with plan
Itouch, $230+ depending on storage capacity
X51V, I got mine for $150, check eBay and such, most are under $200. The ones that are over 4200 usually include other stuff like storage cards, GPS, and such.
—–
If you don’t believe me, check my info online.
Ok, so from what I gather, nothing in the Iphone/Itouch is new or revolutionary, maybe the multitouch, but that has been around since the 1980s or 1990s. Tilt sensor is also not new, has been used in PDAs and phones before the Iphone. Camera phones have been out for a while.
Can marketing 4 year old technology as “new” and “revolutionary” and pushing that price be consider fraud? Well I guess not since the general public is gullible enough to believe the marketing lies.
RL is a fanboy whose mom let him get an iPhone.
YEAH, iPhone sucks!
iPhone fanboy maybe get their new toys from their mommy.. PATHETIC!
I have 2 3G’s….All of the things they have said are NOT on the iphone currently are via the cydia app. I have ringtones, as many as i want to make, i have a camera app that allows you way more features than the standard iphone camera app, i have a video recorder app, i CAN send MMS messages through apps from cydia, i have a landscape keyboard for the people with the fatter fingers, anything I have seen described as bad on the iphone has been fixed or an app has been made. The only 2 things i do agree on with this tread is there is no user changeable battery, and there is no expandable memory, other than that the phone is great….
There’s a lot of fanboy here…
IPhone Sucks!!!
Its a lot of hipe on it, and… who cares if its fashion should look for some psychiatric help…
Its, an phone, ipod and an WEB BROWSER??? Thats not impressive at all…
I wont pay for something that forces me to use an paid Operational System and forces me to upload my musics only through Itunes.
Apple imposed a lot of limits on it…
Android may do better on a cheaper way!!
fuck off all you suckers! iphone os 3.0 is the greatest ever.
Android may do better on a cheaper way??
what? Android sucks big time, as i don’t see the Android market would beat the ultimate iphone app store.
iPhone is just a toy for a loosers..
Even my N82 can take ur mom’s death picture clearly..
Same as SE fanboi MF, iPhone fanboi is just fucking annoying..
Half the stuff you listed has been improved in the new iPhone 3G.
Lol look at all the fanboys on here trying to stick up for their piece of crap.
We need to add that you cant hook the phone up to ur cars mps jack cause it constantly cuts out. My friend went to the store to find out what was going on with his phone. They simply told him yeah we are having issues with all of our phones connecting to mp3 jacks lmao.
Not to mention this is his second phone, cause it slide off his lap getting out the car and the screen spidered.
The fanboys keep sticking up for the phone talking about yeah it has THIS NOW, or now you can download it. If Apple spent as much time building the phone, as they are fixing the mess up’s then they might have had something bottom line.
Apple keeps pushing out products like this and mark my words they will be needing money from D.C. also.
FUCK YOU, u are retarded why dont u go buy one b4 u pay it out cunt!
no games are u spastik?
internet is fkn fast
expensive? steal one?
and for all the other things. just jailbreak it and u can get anything
There is no phone that has edvery one of your things inclucded in there phone they could make a perfect phone but they would lose money because u would never have to buy one again. I phone is the greatest invetion this decade and just because it has a little minor imperfections here and the that doesnt mean it sux its better than the blackberry the g1 has too little keyboard and overall it better than anything out there. remember this phone is an apple not a Mac so just cause some features dont work with vista. its because its a freaking Apple dude chill out your prolly the one without the iphone or has never tried the iphone it is great and it doesnt always break when dropped ive dropped mine 3 times and its got a scratch or two but no cracks in the glass you need to put up videos or you story is completely false get hands on researching before you blast the iphone. name one phone that can do all it does without looking ugly ……dont worrry ill waiat. there is none
GO FUCK YOURSELF.
I bet you are one of those cunts, you wait outside the shop dreaming of the day you could have one (or even have the money to buy one). You havent even touched one and are jelous of all of us for having one and will do anything to sabitage this trend because you are a povo fuckwit. Go kill yourself or take out your 40th morage to get one, or stop wasting your time on this post that you have been thinking about for 6 weeks and accualy work you jackass to buy one.
Obviously, you don’t know how to use a fuckin iphone if you can’t use the GPS. This also must have been old cuz uh….THE IPHONE 3G USES THE 3G DATA TRANSFER DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No games? Download them from the app store, dipshit. Pinching pictures actually doesn’t suck. It is actually pretty awesome in comparison to the zoom functions on any other phone. The internet is slow? Well what do you expect from mobile web browsing? Cable speeds? Y’all are fucking idiots
[…] may come as a surprise, being that I’m a gadget whore, but I hate the iPhone. Pretty much anything that Apple comes out with is nothing more than a money maker, which is why I hate Macintosh computers, and anything else that Steve Jobs dreams up for no other […]
Ringtones can be created in iTunes by converting music to AAC (spelling?) format, then renaming the physical file from “.m4a” to “.m4r”, then upload to iPhone.
The iPhone is a toy. Any serious business person will quickly discover all of the bugs and LACK of features. I will provide examples: 1. Provide way to disable iPhone alarms for select calendars (no for outlook, yes for iPhone calendar) 2. Ability to mark alarms as Done or Snooze or Reschedule 3. Calendar is useless; Sync after a delete on either side leaves orphans/duplicates.
4. No copy-&-paste functionality in email, text message, etc. 5. Photos: Allow creation of other camera rolls so new photos taken can be separated. 6. Photos: After xfer & purge, camera roll thumbnail still reflects last photo ever taken. 7. Contacts sync ADDs is setting display as last name, first name .. not honoring user’s outlook preference. 8. In a call then received text. Could not press end btn until answered text prompt .. But wanted to leave text as onscreen reminder. 9. In pandora with station playing, pull out earphone jack (2x) and player immed exits & resorts to playing ipod music. Same results if u pause player, lock phone, then tap home and press play without unlocking phone. Also, answered a call while listening, pulled out jack to talk, disconnected call. 10. Not all web forms work on iPhone. I’ve found that forms with Captcha logic are being rejected with mismatched error when you submit the form, despite me entering the text correctly.
iPhone 3G but doesnt have front camera? Suck that piece of rotten apple!
Chinesse shitty cheap phone is far better than this piece of shit.
Chew it chumps!
Amusing list, I join the iPhone bashing choir.
after reading this..
You’ll hate iphones really bad.
I had a iphone and it broke by a small fall.
apple always put in features that other comapnies had years ao, and make out they invented it!!!
I can give you a bunch of other reasons why iphone sucks so badly:
1) Iphone fanboy: I dont need to replace battery
-> Good for you! Imagine when the battery is dead or its capability is reduced over time. When your battery is gone, your iphone is gone too. Or you have to charge your phone every 12 hours. Or prepare to spend alots of money to fix it. haha
2) Iphone fanboy: name a phone that has 16gb storage.
-> lol Your storage is fixed. You can’t expand your storage, but I can. Buy a 16gb card, my phone’s storage is similar to yours. Buy another 16gb card, my phone’s storage is twice than yours lol. And remember, when your iphone is damaged, your data is lost too haha. Good luck to recover the data! If my phone is damaged, I can just simply pull out the card and use it on another phone.
3) Cracked screen, cracked screen, and cracked screen. Go on craglist and see people are selling thousands of cracked screen iphones.
4) Iphone fanboy: Iphone has tons of applications…
-> Oops, but you have to pay for them haha. All applications for my Nokia are free, duh.
5) Iphone fanboy: iphone is a very, if not the best, smartphone
-> Oh yeah, how come a “smart” phone does not have cut&paste function? MMS messages? other technologies that you can find on most of the smart phones.
6) iphone fanboy: it works great with youtube!!!
-> But not with other video-sharing websites. It does not have flash support in internet browser. I can watch porn directly on websites, can you? hahaha
7) iphone fanboy: My Iphone is simfree, I live in a country (Belgium)where At&T doesn’t even exist…
-> But you have to pay to unlock it, duh. I rarely heard of an unlocked nokia phone.
9) I cant imagine a businessman who travels alot with iphone lol. Good luck! iphones are for kiddies and crowd’s ass kissers
10) try listening to music while texting, composing email, making phone calls on your iphone at the same time
11) You can read office documents, but can you create them? Create a word document on iphone…. Try it!
okay your an IDIOT!!!
battery fine, but either way, if you need to repalce the battery its a good 80 bucks, apple charges that same 80 AND does it for you!
Exactly, you are going to keep on switching memory cards to fit in 16 gigs? kind of annoying aint it?
then oops you lose a memory card and all your precious photos and such on it !!!! TOO BAD!
know what, in the future when every phone is touch, there’s obviously going to be potential for cracks and what not, it’s called USING WITH CARE
YEah, you need to buy those applications….it beats nokias shitty 50 apps that are already built in!!
I can get microsoft office on my iphone, which is a 40 dollar ap. Know what i did?
I jailbroke my phone, and downloaded it FOR FREE!
iPhone OS 3.0……will include picture messaging and cut and paste features…..believe me, if not, there’s already an app for that
Yeah, i havent tried…..but maybe streaming videos from your other websites ( porn) wont be as good or fast. Get your mind out the gutter and stick to youtube, what ISNT on it anyways?
You are an idiot, any phone that has a mobile carrier will comes UNLOCKED quit being cheap and spend the 30 bucks to unlock it!!
ANY PHONE HAS POTENTIAL FOR DEAD PIXELS!
Your stupid because you wouldnt’ be listening to music during a phone call, and i’ve tried music plus texting or even downloading apps!!! It’s crystal clear lag free!!!!
and Again….there’s an APP TO CREATE OFFICE DOCUMENTS!!
THUS
get your facts straight and quit being a Nokia fan boy, there OS is shit, and is not user friendly AT ALL
^
Shut up motherfucker!
Can u make video call from iPhone 3G? No? Eat that shit!
can u run 10 application at the same time? No? Chew that shit!
SMARTPHONE IS A PHONE THAT CAN RUN AT LEAST 10 APPLICATION IN THE BACKGROUND. Can you? can you? looser!
Dumbphone is dedicated to any dumb-ass who think can do anything through jailfuckingbreak.
“The average iphone user has an IQ of 119.” Thank god that is just an ad, because that is anything but true.
Wow, average user of iPhone has 119 IQ?? Well I must be a genius becuase I chose an HTC Touch Pro
way better phone.. I never understood the iPhone hype. I never understood Mac users.. Macs are so … ugly!!!!!! why?? i never understood. To me Mac fans are a different breed that defy my thinking.
Just because you cock suckers cant afford an iphone doesnt mean it sucks! It’s an awesome choice for lot of people. Know go have fun with ur 2 inch HFUCKINGTC
My PC is set to send all email sent from an iphone
to the trash.Only a tool would own such an overpriced
POS,not someone I would want to talk to.
@ishit??? You Sir, ARE, AN IDIOT!!!!
You damn Iphone fanboys, buy a smartphone if you want a REAL piece of technology not this piece of shit you morons can go die or something
I had to chime in. I am an incredibly disappointed iphone owner (sorry ex-owner). I just wanted to say that I am a little tired of all the mac supporters coming out and yelling about how people who hate the iphone are just pissed cause their “mommy won’t let them have one” or “they just can’t afford one”. I don’t need permission to drop cash like that and I have it to drop and I after using the iphone/AT&T for only two weeks, I realized that I would have been better off “dropping” that money in the toilet. It wouldn’t be so bad if mac users and those stupid F**KING commercials weren’t so damned pompous about crap that just doesn’t work. For that kind of money, I should have little or no problem with the phone but it just isn’t the case. If it were truly a superior product, that would be all together different, but from what I have experienced with apple, that is simply not the case. They spend all the product development money on advertisements that are aimed at convincing us that apple is superior instead of actually making it superior. I am a very happy EX-mac user in every aspect. My little LG piece of crap from Verizon has yet to fail me…..and it was $37 with a contract upgrade that ended up saving me money and, above all….IT’S NOT AT& F**KING T!!!!!! Which gives me confidence that my call won’t be dropped at any unpredictable moment….another reason they suck, you have to get AT&T….Worse cellular provider in the world. Another company that spends millions of ad dollars trying to convince us that they are a superior service (HAHAHA). I think we have a match made in heaven. Now what you need is AT&T’s CEO to come on stage in a black turtle neck with that arrogant Blow…I mean Steve Jobs and then we will know where to aim the rocket grenade!
Its just a phone all of you need to chill all phones have their good Points and bad.
NO GAMES?!!?!
Have you ever heard of the App Store?
iPhone is the phone where you can get most games
Too many games to poke a stick at. It has more games than any other mobile phone by far! You find me another mobile that has upwards of 5000 games and something like 25000 3rd party apps and i will gladly admit defeat. Oh and Big Mike, what exact problems have you had, you go on about how crap it is and don’t even give a reason!! WTF
Lets go over what’s wrong here.
1. the iphone 3g costs only $99, and the 3G S costs $199 and $299 depending on storage.
2. What do you have against at&t? i think it’s a corporation that works relatively well.
3. No japanese phone has an iPod on it, has a complex Safari browser, or has an app store anywhere near the size of iPhones.
4. The 3G speeds are actually quite fast, and the wifi loads faster than the phone can display it.
5. Youtube quality is one of the best on a mobile phone, better even than the blackberry storm.
6. Why do you need to remove the battery? If its non-removable, then there can be more space for the battery, giving it a longer life, as evidenced by the newest unibody macbook pros.
7. My screen has never broken, and i have dropped it many many times.
8. The iPhone touchscreen is one of the best on the market, and the keyboard is very accurate, especially in landscape.
9. It will be able to by the end of the summer in the US, and it is already usable in other countries.
10. The iPhone takes very nice pictures for a 2-3 MP camera.
11. While that is currently unavailable, if you jailbreak it and install a certain app, then you can get flash.
12. the 3G S can at 640×480 and 30 fps, which is a very good video.
13. the pinching in and out on photos is very good. i don’t know one person who complains about it.
14. It has 3G now.
15. iTunes has a ringtone feature that lets you create ringtones out of your songs.
16. It has it now.
17. Yeah. since iTunes 7.3.
18. I don’t think that’s the case now, though i have to admit i’m not sure.
19. iPhone OS 3.0 has that
20. That is a matter of opinion.
21. There are applications that do let you do that now.
22. The app store has thousands of games, most that are free too.
23. Once again, matter of opinion
24. Not the case anymore.
25. Not at all
26. That’s completely ridiculous. The iPhone is just a perfect size for a smartphone.
27. Its an apple product. Get used to it. And if i do say so myself i think its a very good one.
28. It also created incredibly annoying iPhone haters.
For a first release, the iPhone did pretty well, and its updates have made it close to perfect, in my opinion. Have your own opinions if you will, but please give credit where credit is due.
[…] everyday interactions. Criticism and rejection are the default response to pretty much everything: the iPhone, print media, The Hills, the blogosphere, Barack Obama, Juno, Fox News. When such contrarianism […]
[…] to attract your attention. Yup, that a gimmick alright. Personaly, I’m waiting for the IPhone app that would blacken the touch […]
FUCK IPHONES!!!!!!! THEY FUCKIN SUCK I FUCKING HATE MINE ITS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT FUCK U APPLE!!! FUCK U STEVE!!!!! FUCK I TUNES!!!!! YOU GUYS FUCKED EVERYTHING UP!! FUCK U!!! FUCKING FAGGOTS
Palm Pre - Is there anything it can’t do?…
As I was driving down the road after work, I decided to see if I could get my new Palm Pre to help me find a place I’d written about on my website. I pulled into a gas station so……
Reason 16, 22 sucks.
Reasons 1, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17 to 20, 25 are good.
I find it hilarious that people are commenting on an article about the original iphone saying you’re wrong and referring to the latest generation 3GS. Apple took 2 years to catchup to phones from 2007 and are still way behind. It’s 2009 people!
Some 2009 reasons why the iphone sucks:
- There’s just one iphone and touchscreen just doesn’t cut it for everyone
- The camera is still archaic - 3.2mpix and a plastic lens
The main reason why it sucks though is because of the fricking fanboys. They’re so annoying.
Read on for a huge list of reasons why the iphone sux

who said you can multi task easily on iphone?
it continues to crash when i have music playing in the background when texting etc.
in short iphone sucks
go for n97, htc hero, xperia or palm ….. much better
n70>N95>IPHONE 3g>Xperia > n97 > hopefullly x2
Iphone truly sucks because people go crazy over one thing — Touch they dont notice all the other failures that are in the phone — Crashing - Easy Brake (careless people) Bad texting ( you press the wrong letter every time because of the touch — also the price range is very high including expensive plans - Messaging just plain sucks — Cannot record Video that’s sad because even in pretty decent models they include that
You forgot to mention that if you bought the original one and 3 weeks later the 3G model came out they laugh at you when you would like the newer phone in exchange. Also the phone gets worse with each update. It’s SLOW and drops calls regularly. Retrieving your messages has become a problem as of late.
You are clearly retarded. you have no knowledge of electronics and your just pissed that your poor and cant afford shit. quit hating and get a real job so maybe you can find a real phone to match up with the iphone. dumb s**t
You all need to shut up, iPhone users and other people. First of all, the iPhone DOES HAVE copy and paste
Second of all, blackberrys suck. Third of all you can video record. Fourth of all there’s something called a case. Get one. It is multi touch. What? Nokia 95 is bbetter? You doint kno squat about iPhone. I dotnt nedd crap about Nokia. Just admit the iPhone rocks. Maybe it didn’t work out for you because you don’t kno how to read instructions. Btw jailbreak! How many apps can you’re phonme hold, Nokia? If you jailbreak, oh wait, NoKIA can’t, you can download an app called “categories”. It allows you to take all your apps or some of your apps and put thjem in a folder. The folder counts as one app. What? That means I could have as many apps as I want until I run out of storage. Iphone rocks. It has voice memos and sounds when you have a call or email. When you text your friend or coworker. Their reply shows on screen. There is an app for almost everything. The only things I don’t think they can do is make you fly, but there is anm app for virtual flying. Maybe your apps are free, nokia, because they suck and were opoorly written. I’m on the iphone side because nokia seems all styck up and iphones just fefending themselves. You start a fight someone’s gonna fihght back. That would be iPhones. Ever heard of 3GS? Look it up on google, if you can with your phone.
i love the iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
evry 1 shut up i agree with iphone rocks above me
iphone can download games on itunes you dumbass
WTF!!!!!!!!!! were the hell did u get this shit from!!!! The iPhone is amazing. I dont see a phone that can edit and share videos to Facebook or you tube. This is all BS. MAN WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT CANT PLAY GAMES IT HAS NEED FOR SPEED. CAN A HTC HERO BE TRACKED DOWN IF IT IS LOST.noo it can’t. BTW U PROBABLY HATE ON IT CAUSE U DONT HAVE ONE. ADVICE from a 13 year old
[…] You know what’s not hilarious? Apple products. Yes, I have an iPod, and yes there are lots of things I like about it. I like the way things are organized. I like the way I’m used to how it works. I don’t like the way it decides to go into ‘diagnostic mode’ and run unnecessary tests on all the programs before allowing me to access my music. I don’t like the way it freezes up and, again, refuses to allow me to listen to my music, and I don’t like the way it suddenly cuts off my music in the middle of a song and refuses to turn back on without plugging it in while simultaneously pressing the power button for ten seconds. I don’t like the way I take it to the ‘Genius Bar’ and they tell me all that stuff is “perfectly normal”. Fuck you Steve Jobs. Seriously, if you need that much crap on your phone… why are you even reading this. The day I get anywhere near an iPhone will be a very cold day in hell. http://www.who-sucks.com/tech/15-reasons-why-apples-iphone-sucks […]
ONLY YUPPIE FAGGOTS WHO NEED ATTENTION USE SHITTY OVERPRICED FAGGOT FUCK PIECE OF SHIT IPHONES, FUCK APPLE, AND FUCK ALL YOU PUSSIES AND YOUR IPHONES.
to post 188.
so what kind of non-faggot, non-pussy phone do you use?
How about an app to make the POS work?
I was one of the idiot who bought iphone..what a piece of crap!!Its probably good for folks under 25 who plays games & watch u-tube…I guess all the old guys (30+) who bought it just dont want to admit they made a mistake buying iphone…i have seen guys having iphone and blackberry, using blackberry most of the time…iphone is a perfect example on how we get sucked into the marketing hype…i wish i never get pulled into it again
It is the world’s first phone which doesn’t support all sim cards
The iphone’s spelling suggestion/replacement feature is total crap. It suggests words that are in Swahili or some other completely illegible language.
The iphone’s calendar system is not for business use. It offers no “snooze” feature; instead, it takes multiple presses to open, edit, save an event reminder.
The iphone’s synchronize with Outlook is total garbage. In summary: “There are 15 contact conflicts. Apply or discard?” WTF am I supposed to do without additional details? Toss a coin in the air, apparently.
The iphone is a mere toy. Business professional will have a better experience with a Blackberry or similar device.
Additional feedback:
Once you enter an incorrect email address, it’s FOREVER stuck in the suggested contacts listing when creating or replying via email.
Deleted mail often reappears in one’s inbox.
Some websites fail to open, as one travels around the state. AT&T’s explanation: EVERY cell tower has its own DNS server and you must have traveled near a tower whose DNS server is lagging behind its synchronization schedule.
Unless you jailbreak your iphone, it’s completely void of user-friendly features. See www.modmyi.com for details.
If you want to easily download voice memos or other files from your iphone, check out www.digidna.net product named “DiskAid” ($10 USD as of Oct 2009)
YOu are people who cant afford i phones im getting the i phone 3gs and its records it is 2x faster than the i phone 3g and its only ! $199 for the 16 gb you people are talking nonsence because u wish u had an i phone ur just jealous stop looking at what you dont have and look at what you have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND BESIDES ALL THAT IPHONE HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN A VERY DEFECTIVE WAY WHAT I MEAN IS AFTER UR WARRENTY IS OVER REPARING COST OF EVEN A MAJOR THING AS IF ONE WANTS TO REPAIR A BROKEN MIC OPENING THE ASSEMBLY MY LEAD TO A BROKEN SCREEN OR A TORN DOCK CABLE (AND THE BEST PART U WONT EVEN KNOW ITS BROKEN UNTIL U USE THE PHONE )WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS THAT THE QUALITY OF SOME SPARES USED IS REALLY BAD. U SEARCH THE NET AND NOT SO MANY PEOPE ARE FACING GENERAL BASIC DEFECTS.
I AM PISSED OFF AT APPLE…
This article is a bit dated at this point, but I have to say that not only does the iPhone suck for most of the reasons listed above, but I have first hand experience with AT&T sucking pretty hard too and refusing to give discounts on the 1st gen. iPhones period, of course they say that Apple forced them to do this, and Apple says that they “needed” to. Then in the same breath they tell you to just buy another phone and sign another 2 year contract and you can get your 10% discount. Whatever, I am no longer an AT&T customer for some specific reasons, but in general all US cell phones suck, because the companies are rotten. Now that hardware manufactures like Motorola and Apple are helping already corrupt companies along I would urge all of you to really reevaluate what you need a phone to do. Buy a map of your town, for example, instead of paying some obscene data rate so your company can charge you to use the services you want across air waves that you already pay for in your taxes. That’s right, we own the airwaves that the government sold to these corrupt companies, especially after the digital TV switch, did we see any financial gain for this? No, we got some faster connections, but the data plans did not become more affordable on the whole. The point is the government is too in bed with cell phone companies right now to regulate them, but that doesn’t mean that we have to really put up with this. For those of us that absolutely have to have a cell phone we can get pay by minute phones without contracts and use them as conservatively as possible. The key is to break the cycle of getting screwed by contracts. Once companies no longer have the motivation to screw us by contract, or start to really offer phones with no contracts at all, we’ll finally start to get what we’re paying for because we can switch whenever a company treats us poorly. Remember having choice when you did a company the favor of doing business with them? I know, I know, that was before we started signing cell phone contracts….
Aww, the person in #188 must be too poor to buy an iPhone… doesn’t it suck to be surrounded by people better than you? I feel bad for you but oh well, you made your life suck so deal with it. Leave us people who have class, style and money alone and worry about how you’re gonna spend your food stamps this week.
Wow, all you little crybabies in here need to get a life, lol! POOR YOU! Just because you don’t know how to manage your minutes and got screwed on your AT&T bill or don’t have good credit and got denied by AT&T or simply can’t budget your money and failed to pay your bill resulting in your phone not working, doesn’t mean you should bad mouth the product for no reason. The iPhone is the #1 MOST SOLD SMARTPHONE and it holds that rank for a reason… because it is AMAZING! Good luck getting your piece of crap Nokia or Motorola do do half the stuff the iPhone can do. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it, if you don’t like AT&T, don’t buy it. But for God sakes, just shut the fuck up about it already. No one cares that you can’t manage your money, minutes or credit. Get over it and move on people.
i noticed that iphone fan boys are not familiar with the other smartphones. they still believe that they can do a lot of stuff on their iphones. everybody knows that the iphone battery will not last you a day of normal use but other phones can. it’s a fact that iphones are worst phones but nice internet (no flash device). it a fact that iphone fan boys doesn’t know that other phones can do video chat with skype and iphones can’t. it’s also a fact that other phones can surf the net like a desktop but iphone can’t. i don’t want to tell these apps but it’s true and fanboys dosn’t know and they just believe their iphone can do all but not true.
if it were not a present from someone i see everyday,
I’D DEF. NOT USE IT!..
grr!
The “Send” button’s position next to the txt entry box of the Message app means that a slip sends a half-composed txt. Can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve sent a text with words half written or sentences half completed.
Another app that sucks is Contacts. Soooooo basic. My $20 Sony allows me to type three digits and select from a list of phone numbers matching the filter.
Why does the phone sync EVERY time its placed in the cradle (or connected to the cable)? Wouldn’t it be sensible to have to manually sync, rather than automatically, if the last connection to the cable was 20 seconds ago? Or perhaps a configuration option?
Where is the sound in video recording? What, no sound? Why???
The phone seems to ’screw up’ internally periodically - won’t receive calls but displays no visible problems. Have to wait until trying to call out to notice there’s an issue.
The battery life is too short not to be able to replace the battery with a spare. Cmon! Phones have been capable of having batteries replaced since the beginning of mobile phone life.
Why can’t you trial an app for 48 hours before buying?
I don’t like my iPhone 3GS, can’t wait for the contract to expire
Oh, that’ll do.
Hi ? I don?t react on many web sites but had to on yours. It?s fantastic! I really love how you write ? very to the point, unlike a lot of other pages. Thanks for having this page. I don?t have time to read it all right now, I found this site while I was looking for something else on Google, but I?ve bookmarked your homepage and will visit again soon to see the latest news. Please visit my site at http://crashcoursedriving.wordpress.com/ Keep up the great work!
After last post on marketing without search engines, I decided to follow up with a strategy you can use to get quality free traffic. One of the easiest ways to get visitors to your web site is to spend money. Nothing is more effortless then paying for traffic. But if you can’t afford it or don’t want to pay, there’s an equally simple but free way to get traffic: ad swaps.

I’ve never understood why there needs to be an “app store”. If the iPhone has a harddrive, an OS, and an Internet Connection, why can’t I just surf the web, download, and install whatever “app” I want?
I mean really, what so “revolutionary” about a little computer that can play music, surf the web, etc?
And Safari.. really..? Until I can simply download and install FireFox, there is not chance I would even consider blowing half a months rent or what my family spends on a month of food for a computer that only lets me download programs sanctioned by the phone’s maker.
Who could think that was ok.. O wait, its Apple, its not a product, its a “life style”.
Thanks, but I’m not interested in buying a life style, I am looking to purchase product.
first of all, you guys are all jelous because you dont have an iphone. that is why you guys complain. the iphone has billions of games and many cool apps. it has GPS and many cool things like this one app where you just humm sing or put your iphone near a playing song and it will automatically tell you what song it is. it also gives a preview of the song. also airmouse where you can control your computer from ur iphone. think people. you all probably have tracfones. u can even put more megapixels if u just download the app. and for the no video recorder complaint you can also download the app. just type in camcorder. my iq is 147. i have the iphone and my iq isnt 119.
JEalous of iphone ?? nono…
we are not jealous.. First of all.. Iphone is a great product from apple, .. but second, I dont really like Iphone comming out because most of the people in Indoesia buys iphone even though they dont need.. u know,, … my maid, who got like very small amount of salary, wants an iphone,, so she pays monthly… u see?? that is why i dont like new things like that…
Seriously. You have time to blog on what’s sucky. GET A JOB! And try focusing on what’s NOT sucky.
The wifi on my iphone hasn’t worked for months. That sucks ass.
Yeah the iPhone rocks! I just downloaded the 12 mega pixel camera app and now I have like a better camera on my phone than some have on their digital camera.
I also downloaded the “more storage app” and now I got 80GB of hard drive space and not 16GB.
I also wanted a Mac so I downloaded the “Mac changer” app and now my iPhone has turned in to an iMac.
Your fucking stupid, You can’t change your memory through an app. Iphones are pretty good except they break way too easily. My iphones logic board failed so i had to pay 250 dollars to get it replaced then after a 1 m drop my screen has cracked and to fix it i have to pay 200 dollars. They goota do somthing about the screen cracking issue. 3G is a piece of shit also. Slow as
pc suck,why its expensive its beacause is the apple brand…like DC* is hot and Tommy helfeger suck lol,you can play 98% of pc game on it,you can have xp on it,look much better than a pc soooo pc suck!
Good day,
I’m in love with my Nexus One - superphone ( just updated yesterday -OTA- its so much better now about the 3G signal & more faster charging time ) - we still have the 2g iphone & 3gs but were using it as MP3 player in our cars - 09 RIDGELINE & 09 PILOT -
I called my friend who’s working on HTC in Houston - (he’s senior engineer-the best guy to ask about software & phones) ( USA-HTC repair center is in Houston,Texas ) he divulge something to me.
We moved from California for GOOD - he worked with APPLE before & myself with Honda R&D and now we are in Texas ( hes in Houston, I’m in the best city in the USA - AUSTIN,TEXAS).
Here’s the big scoop guys, GOOGLE wants some share on HTC board & they will invest in the company for more products to be made by HTC for them, like the ultra advance tablet & more advance phones that is way better than the so called old technology ipad & iphone, who are just good in aesthetic appearance with APPLE logo on it ( i’ll bet all my money that whatever piece of crap they will make, people will buy it because of the name APPLE ) BUT if it is EMACHINES that even can do anything & will make your life easy and happy, still people will not buy it because its EMACHINE, people did you get it??? wake up!!!
Thats all for now…
Take care buddies & gurlies…
God bless y’all
[…] here’s a long list of reasons iPhone sucks, courtesy of WhoSucks. Thinking back on how people complained about what the device didn’t […]
Bob I downloaded the iShuttle app and now it my iPhone is a fully working space shuttle
