iPhone Limitations
Thursday, March 22, 2007
One of the undisclosed things about iPhone that you must know is that this smartphone will come with no software installing option. GetConnected, the company connecting consumers with wireless services across the United States since 1996 revealed this fact in a TV interview.
Apple is following the steps of Nintendo and other technology manufacturer companies in the making of devices that support external software via mini SIM cards, in the case of cell phones, so people cannot screw up the handsets modifying the built-in configuration.
From a manufacturer’s point of view, screwing your cell phone up benefits the industry because sooner or later, you will have to repair or buy a new device, but when it comes to offers and demands of second-hand cell phones, the results can be disastrous.
Downloading ringtones is not that harmful, but still risky, as downloading adult Java games, naked-related pictures or porn movies that remain in the cell phone after the original owner sells such device that is often purchased by parents who want a cheap smartphone solution for their children.
In the best-case scenario, the phone is manipulated by the original owner in a way that it is impossible to continue downloading software or using external applications after misconfiguration. Apple has kept in mind these problems and your new iPhone will come with default features suitable for all audiences, but impossible to change its default settings or install other applications.
