7 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy the iPhone 4
Usually, when we here at Meta Fever decide to cover a topic or product…one of several things tends to happen. 1.) Something interests us and we write an article…no questions asked, or, 2.) You, our loyal readers, send so many requests where we cave to the peer pressure and write the dang post. Of course all inbox flooding and server crashing is greatly appreciated.
This time all of the above happened.
There has been so much interest and feedback surrounding the iPhone 4…it became impossible to ignore. And, trust us…we tried.
So, that brings us to our version of: iPhone 4 Mania Follow Up So Everyone Will Stop Talking About It 1.0
With that said, instead of writing an overall synopsis of the phone – here are the top 7 reasons we’ve compiled and came up with not to buy the iPhone 4.
Enjoy
Drum roll please…
#1 – Flat out costs too much.
You can go out and buy a premium Droid or Blackberry and still pay less than the iPhone 4. For all of the reasons we are about to mention…it is simply not worth it.
#2 – Where in the world is Mr. Flash?
This is a huge mistake by the trend setters of hand held media and mobile technology. ALERT for browsing junkies: the iPhone 4 can’t handle most flash videos or apps. Of course the Droid can. Amazing.
#3 – Definitely not running on Energizer.
Of course this problem is nothing knew to Apple users and is not exclusive to Apple, however, for all of the other under performing features…can we at least get the battery right? Even if everyone is not happy with the overall seducing qualities of the phone, at least allow maximum usage out of the device.
#4 – Of course I’ll share with you…whether you want to or not.
If you’re sitting on the plane next to someone with a set of these “factory” headphones….well, I hope your tastes are more similar than the guy behind you drinking caffeine-free Diet Root Beer. You just opted into his play list for the next 3 hours and 17 minutes. Don’t charge high dollar for a phone and dish out 50 cent headphones.
#5 – No, you may not do two things at once.
Just like your elementary school teacher told you, work on one thing at a time. Well, with the iPhone 4 you’ll have no choice.
Yes, you still have to open the app to view MSN and Yahoo Messenger. Of course an auto alert would be too much to ask. Brilliant.
#6 – Looks good but doesn’t feel the same.
OK. It’s sleek and sexy. Bravo. But, what about one of those two hour conversations where your ear is numb and turning another shade of purple? Might as well go back to Staples to get a “real” phone. iPhone doesn’t help you much here either. With its cool looking design great to whip out on the subway….not so much at home.
#7 – This time…no sharing
The time you might want to share, Apple says no. Should you attempt to set up any iPhone as a mobile hot spot, consider it…defiantly not done. No Socratic type speech by Steve Jobs will reverse disappointment on this decision.
Even though we covered the Top 7 not so likable features of the iPhone 4…we need at least three more from YOU.
