Features That Will Not be Present in the Apple’s New Smart Phone
Sure, plenty of people are looking forward to the iPhone 4G handset, but for all it is cooked up to be, this next generation device will still be lacking in plenty of departments and mostly because of Apple’s own design preferences. Here is a quick list of useful functions that Apple stubbornly refuses to have on their devices.
First up, an SD card slot; while this may not seem like a big issue, there is plenty of functionality lost when the use of external memory is not supported. This also leaves people having to forgo versions of the iPhone with smaller internal memory –which is a major annoyance for people who are on a budget.
Simple computer connectivity is another issue with the iPhone. The fact that all Apple devices requires the use of the iTunes software is very annoying, and the fact that it really screws up the folder and file naming conventions when the iPhone is browsed from a desktop computer is also a major inconvenience. This is probably the main reason why there is no support for SD cards in the first place.
The battery issue that has always been present in most of Apple’s devices (with the exception of the iPad, though we have yet to see for how long the 10 hour battery life remains consistent after months of use), and a simple feature like removable batteries cold have helped fix the issue for years ago. But Apple’s decision to constantly keep their devices as closed systems will always be the main reason why removable batteries will not be present. Had it been an available feature, many iPhone owners would have been willing to carry around an extra battery all day.
Lastly, Flash. Now this may seem like picking on scabs, but the fact is that Adobe actually wanted to have Flash on Apple’s OS. It was Apple that kept refusing to cooperate with the software developer –which was ironic because it was Steve Jobs himself who demanded to see a Flash app running smoothly on the Apple OS before they officially support the web format.
