iPhone Insurance

The Apple iPhone has become one of the most popular products in recent years but there are some limitations to the iPhone.

The iPhone has a 2.75G quad-band GSM capability, its text and email services and Wi-Fi services, but it is far from perfect.iPhone does have its limitations.They keep people from using certain features and also prevent most iPhone customization. I really hope Apple will fix these problems in the near future though.

No custom ringtones

One of the biggest limitations 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, eight or sixteen 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.

Apple had in fact set it up that you should pay through iTunes store in order to get customized ring tones which I am really not happy about.Other solutions I found need you to fork out some cash to purchase a software for such customization. Therefore, I find that customizing the iPhone is greatly limited.

Camera on the iPhone

The camera on the iPhone is a strong one, as it has two megapixels of picture quality. While pictures can be taken for sending to people or for iPhone customization there is a significant limitation to the camera.If you check, you will find that there is no near future plan by Apple to upgrade the iPhone picture quality.

it cannot record videos on the fly. 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.

Limited Flash support

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 is troublesome to surf on some certain sites without a problem as a result. More websites are utilizing Flash and would cause a problem to the Apple iPhone unless Apple is able to provide a quick fix in the near future.

Difficulty to write

The last of the limitations 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 example, the virtual keyboard on the iPhone is tremendously useful, but users still ahve to go to another menu every time they want to enter a comma, period or other punctuation marks. 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.
