Due out on July 11th is a mobile phone destined to become the shining light of O2's product range. But can it really be that good? C an the Apple iPhone 3G really beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - just look at the features!
On June 9th, a product was released that made fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers especially, go gaga with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone had been released, and now, the newest evolution had just been let out of the bag. It's due to be released, on O2, on July 11th. But how is this new Apple iPhone 3G better than other mobile phones? Well, first of all, it has an awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, meaning that all the coolest features and awesome functions are available, quite literally, at your fingertips. And you'll be flicking through menus with glee, very quickly, as the Apple iPhone 3G is the second handset in the history of mobile phones to be built around the amazingly intuitive Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone came before it, and that was the first iPhone.
As you may know, there was a certain amount of criticism aimed at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones have more features, they said, other mobile phones do more than it. And then, in spite of the amazing interface, they were correct. Other mobile phones DID outperform the iPhone, although, that's will be a lot more difficult to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2. The main thing that the first iPhone lacked was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones won hands down. That's not a problem now, though, as the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, joins the world of mobile phones that DO have 3G. And crikey is it fast, because it uses HSDPA, letting you connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you have GPS, and we should all understand how useful and invaluable GPS is!
Apple iPhone 3G - is it REALLY the future?
Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really a brave new world for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? Well, it is, but maybe not in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, just like its forerunner, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that applies to most mobile phones, with the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being hyped up as the ultimate phone. However, if you pick a feature at random, the camera, you'll realise that in that specific area it's mediocre at best, and at worst, total rubbish. In the current climate of mobile phones with cameras built in, that's unforgivable. With that in mind, if it's not perfect, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Well, it's simply because the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2, has forced other mobile phones to up their game. In other words, manufacturers like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really fighting to make up ground, and take the fight to this usurper. That's why it's important: the Apple iPhone 3G is forcing manufacturers to make better mobile phones, and hey, that's got to be a good thing for us, the customers!
