IPHONE 4 PROBLEMS

Jul 17

Putting aside the popularity of Steve Job’s epic presentation embarrassment where the iPhone 4 first showed off its problems, customers are making the device even more popular?or should I say notorious?by airing out more issues they have encountered.

Here’s the list of the iPhone problem. Read it below:

Reception
One of the first iPhone 4 problems to surface is the loss of reception when touching its antenna band. The antenna band is located on the left side of the unit so users are advised to hold the device with their right hand to avoid blocking the antenna side. This solution has worked quite well for most right-handed users but how about for south paws? Apparently, there should be no need for customers to adjust to the device because of a design flaw. Apple is obviously making an excuse about this mishap. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed once the iPhone 4?s iOS 4.01 update is released so Apple can start finding solutions to its other problems as well.

Display
Next on the list is the iPhone 4?s colorful display which is marred by what is popularly referred to as yellow fever display where yellow spots show up in some places on its screen. Apple says this issue will simply fade away in time but who knows how long that will take? From my experience, these kinds of problems do not easily go away by themselves. Most of the time, you need to have the display replaced?which costs a lot?or just buy a new device which is sometimes the cheaper option.

Glass Casing
Apparently, Apple can’t even rate a 4 out of 5 in the durability department. Users have found out the hard way that the glass material of its front and back casing easily shatters when dropped from an average height. The iPhone 4?s problems are just piling up aren?t they? But the list is not done yet.

Sound Buttons & Shutter
Apple does not get a good rating in the logic department either because the iPhone 4 also features swapped sound buttons and a camera shutter that stays closed even when the camera is in use. These are the types of problems that completely blow users out of their minds and makes them want to take their money back or hold on to it tight while they shop around for better alternatives.

Other Irksome Bits
Not satisfied with these major issues, the iPhone 4?s problems list also includes minor issues which are just as irritating as the big ones, such as limiting its carrier to only one: AT&T and a data cap that will limit data access and charge the extra bytes to your bill. Add to that, no white iPhone 4 units in stock! So not cool.

The Verdict
With or without problems, iPhone 4 will still be on top of everyone’s shopping list specially the apple fans.? As for me, I got lots of problems including my wallet’s limited capacity to indulge in apple’s latest electronic gadgets.
