A List of Things Keeping Me From Buying an iPhone
I’m complaining about software culture, and contempt for customers.
Not success or a dislike of the success.
I’m glad it’s popular.
I’m asking: what kind of thinking is happening within Apple for me to produce this list of obvious oversights?
In no order—
- Bluetooth sync
- Bluetooth file transfer
- Bluetooth modem / tethering
MMS
- Disk mode
- Calendar Colours on the iPhone do not match the calendar colours in iCal
OS X notes do not sync with iPhone notes and vice versa
- DRM on App Store purchases
- Overpriced, uncompetitive and feature-barren tariffs in the U.K.
- Carrier lock-in
- Cannot remove “Stocks” from the home screen
- Ringtones
- No video recording
- ‘Boy who cried wolf’ App Store policy
-
