Hey guys, first post here...
Its a little biased I guess, but would love to hear you guys shout out what's wrong and like to hear some discussion
I'm a die hard blackberry fan, so ill see if I can make any points about iphone
Let?s start this article with a flashback to 2007. We met the iPhone. The greatest, newest, shiniest item to enter the market. It blew android and blackberry back to their humble starts. Why? There was INNOVATION.
Let?s now skip ahead, 5 years later and see what has happened. We?ve seen 6 OS updates, 6 new phones, a new Apple CEO, Apple father Steve?s demise and a whole lot more.
The iPhone five (as most are aware of) was released to the hands of the public in early September. As always, it was no surprise to see the phone selling millions in the first few days
However, wait, slow down a second. 5 million in the first few days. Amazing right? Well, that?s a big start but we?ve got Q4 sales coming and we need to see em better than the 4S sales?.
The 4S sold around 37 MILLION
Will we see iphone 5 dish out those stats? I think not. For investors to stay happy and the apple stock to be satisfied, apple NEEDS to make an improvement over their last devices. Can they? Yes. What are the chances? Pretty good considering people waited for the device but a good start always needs a good finish!
When the 4S came out, people switched to it and now, they are stuck on the same old 2 year contract while the 5 is out.
However, the people that camped at 4 jumped straight away right at the 5.
Hopefully they can pull off record breaking sales again!
Enough with the marketing aspect, let?s get a little bit more practical?.
The iphones after the 4 are all mostly gimmicks (however some of the features I enjoy a lot on my ipad). Let me show you the change line, decide for yourself
iPhone 4: 5MP camera, 720 HD video, new iOS 4 with tons of features, new shape, new body, new look, re-invented
iPhone 4S:
8MP camera, 1080 HD video, same shape, iOS 5 with 200 features (mostly for fun), and followed iphone 4 principles. Still, bearable, Siri (rarely any practical use), 4G
iPhone 5:
8MP camera, 1080 HD video, longer shape , chrome metal (wow, It looks nice, not what I was looking for.), iOS 6 (more features), better battery (finally omfg), 4G
Rumored iPhone 5s
Laser Keyboard (whattt??)
More colors!!! ( Gimmick, no practical usage)
Sleek Design (keeping it from IPhone 5, same design? Yawwnnnm)
Improved flash and zoom (yipeeee)
So to sum it up, IPhone is old, needs to get on a pacemaker to survive?.
The pacemaker needs to consist of the following:
A brand new OS, built from scratch, I can?t take pages of apps nomore.
stop keeping us in a birds cage!!! Free up the phones man?
NEW DESIGN
STOP GIMMICKING AROUND FFS.
That?s really it,
I really hope you people agree with me the fact that putting a bow on something and packing it isn?t good.
You need to put the wrapping paper too!
So without that wrapping paper, apple can?t succeed.
I know I will be screwed for writing anti-apple stuff on iMore but anti stuff helps and improves?. And I just wanted to see you guys perspective, please no trollings and no abusive stuff, I've seen too much on crackberry.
What are YOUR thoughts?
