Since the original release on June 29, 2007, the iPhone was arguably one of the best phones on the market selling over 21.4 million iPhones to date. Apple has released the latest of its operating systems (version 3.0) on June 17, 2009, bringing a variety of new (and much needed) upgrades.
Although the list of updates for the new OS is lengthy, and I am certainly one to appreciate updates, I can’t help but feel that the majority of the new features were so greatly needed that I am left saying to myself, “Ahh… finally! So, what’s next? And when?”
Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone. It’s almost to the point where I don’t know how I could survive without it. But with a list of updates containing “features” like cut/copy & paste, landscape keyboard in SMS and mail, and Safari autofill usernames and passwords, I am continually reminded with the thought that these “features” should have been on the phone years ago.
And let’s not forget about MMS and Internet tethering. Oh wait… I have AT&T so I can’t even get those features for another few months. Those who have AT&T service will sympathize with me when I say AT&T’s new ad campaign should be “More Bars in Less Places” with all of the dropped calls I get.
Maybe I’m being too harsh and I need to take a second look at my expectations with technology in today’s world.
