iPhone Limits Not All Products Are Perfect

While Apple's iPhone has become one of the most popular products in recent years there are some downfalls to the product. While the iPhone does have a 2.75G quad-band GSM capability with text messaging and email services and Wi-Fi services there are some iPhone limits. Not only do they keep people from using certain features but they also prevent iPhone customization in some cases. These problems should be fixed in the future though.

 

One of the biggest limits that the iPhone has is that the product does not allow for any custom ringtones to be used. While an iPhone will have a four or eight gigabyte hard drive where several hundred .mp3 files can be fit onto the hard drive none of these files can be used for ringtone use. Only the ones that are available on the phone can use them. Therefore, this part of iPhone customization is greatly limited.

The camera on the iPhone is a strong one, as it has two megapixels of picture quality. This makes for one of the best camera phones on the market. While pictures can be taken for sending to people or for iPhone customization there is a significant limit to the camera it cannot record video files. Of course, the four or eight gigabyte hard drive is a major factor in this because recording one's one video files can take up a great amount of space on the phone.

Flash is used on many popular websites, including hot video sites like Google Video and Youtube. There is limited Flash support on the iPhone though. It makes it tough to go to certain sites on the Internet as a result. With more websites than ever before getting into the world of Flash programming this will be a great problem unless Apple is able to fix it in the future.

The last of the limits of the iPhone is that of the difficultly in writing things at times. The iPhone has a touch screen feature and it can be tough to write things on the iPhone with speed. For instance, while there is a virtual keyboard on the iPhone the user will have to go to another menu every time to enter commas, periods and other marks of punctuation. While the touch screen is great and is incredibly responsive to what one enters on it this is a problem that makes it harder to write things.

With the great sales that the iPhone has gotten in recent months the iPhone limits have been discovered too. However, as time goes on newer iPhone models will be available in the future, and many of these models should be able to correct the problems that are listed here.
