Author Mike Weiner (Mike Wehner) published on the site TUAW its quite categorical statements over all existing models of iPhone and tried humorously argue their opinion.
"All the released version of the iPhone was bound to fail. Well the truth: some of them were so unfortunate that I still wonder how we even recognize their existence. Apple should take and surrender before the company starts to sell coffee mugs from headquarters just to make profits.
Wait, Apple already does that? My God, it's happening.
Okay, I'm kidding. But let's look at all reasonable arguments as to why each new iPhone could fail ...
iPhone - 2007
- In it there is no 3G - that during the Middle Ages?
- He is tied to AT & T - wow, Apple's, this is a way to kill, and so is not the best smartphone, before it even gets a chance.
- Disgusting camera - without a flash? So few options? It's not even funny.
- The reports can not be used to send images - my brother should see a burrito, which I'm going to eat.
- The battery is not removable - unless Apple has learned nothing after iPod criticism?
- There is no physical keyboard - smartphones, and there should be no physical keyboard, it's just a fact of life.
iPhone 3G - 2008
- Again binding to AT & T - Apple, probably sold his soul to the devil.
- It does not record video - a brand-new iPhone, which lacks the function of shooting a movie. Apple, you have a strange sense of humor.
- You can not use it as a 3G modem - and again, Apple lags behind the line of high-end smartphones.
- From metal to plastic - what makes you think that the transition from brushed aluminum to plastic - this "upgrade"? The ugliest phone in the market has become even uglier.
- Exactly the same camera - as it was terrible in 2007, and has remained in 2008.
iPhone 3GS - 2009
- Still tied to AT & T - seriously? This is getting ridiculous.
- Disgusting video - Apple has finally added the video, but the quality - simply a disgrace.
- Disgusting name - that of the 3G S? And rightly 3GS, 3G S or 3Gs? No need to shoot down buyers confused, this may lead to a decline in sales, Apple's, you mark my words.
- No tetering (at the start of sales) - a third of the iPhone, and Apple still can not learn to do from the phone modem.
- The model looks the same - when people buy a new smart phone, they want to stand out. Owners of iPhone 3G can not worry about it.
iPhone 4 - 2010
- Still tied to AT & T (at the start of sales) - one of the AT & T Apple boss blackmails well.
- Problems with the antenna - that is the brand. No one will buy the phone after watching the video on the Internet, where it is shown how the phone is broken simply on the fact that you hold it in your hands. Goodbye, Apple!
- This is a 4, but not 4G - Apple is just trying to fool us into thinking that it is a phone with 4G. Do not be fooled! Boycott!
- Camera all as disgusting - Added front camera? Who else makes video calls? Main camera - only 5 megapixels, and it was a strange shade of green in my photos? Failure.
- The new design is awful - the phone must not have sharp edges. And how should I put this in my pocket?
iPhone 4s - 2011
- All the same old design - Apple is so behind in the race of large screens that could never catch up.
- Siri is lame - Apple has put on the wrong virtual horse, and Siri will lose.
- The battery lives awfully small - if the battery on my phone would not last three days, I will return it.
- still no 4G - 3G - yesterday.
- No NFC - NFC for the future, and Apple will be left behind.
iPhone 5 - 2012
- Again, the screen size - joined by a measly half an inch? This is what we get after five years of waiting? You know, Apple, I no longer buy any one of your phone. Never.
- The design has not changed - it's just a lengthened 4S, which, in turn, a copy 4. I do not buy the same phone for the third time.
- Connector Lightning - wonderful! Now all my old chargers for iPhone are useless. People will soon guess what games played by Apple. They go bankrupt for fraud attempt with smart consumers!
iPhone 5s and 5c - 2013
- Two models - divided in half your market? Good move, Apple's, the end is definitely near.
- Again, the size of the screen - who wants a small screen, when among the smartphones on Android a huge selection?
- Dull colors - iPhone 5c - just an ordinary iPhone 5 with masquerade plastic housing, and to the iPhone 5s added model horrible gold. It seems, Apple has become very care.
- Touch ID does not make sense - who nowadays blocks Phones? My phone is always in a safe me... Where's my phone?
- iOS 7 is confusing - what happened to my cute little wooden shelves newsstand? That's it, I turn on the Windows Phone.
See what I mean? iPhone was always doomed. It is good that this doom was never an obstacle to his record sales. "
