New iPhone and OS next week!
Well this is my first post and I thought it would be a great way to open with the new iPhone model and the new iPhone OS that is launching next week. I also would like to apoligize for me taking so long getting this together and I hope to be posting much more frequently.
With Apple promising over 100 new features in the 3.0 OS I feel that the new model is underfeatured. Its key new features are an improved camera with auto-focus and the capability for recording video at 30 fps, a built in compass, voice control and much improved speed and battery life.
Now Apple are saying that the current iPhone 3G hardware is not powerful enough to record at this quality which may be true but we do know that it can easily record video if it is jailbroken. Now the people who wrote the video recording app don't even have as good access to the iPhone as Apple's own software team.
Also voice control must surely be possible on something as 'advanced' as the iPhone 3G. This sort of thing has been running on phones for years and they have nowhere near the same power as the iPhone. I feel that Apple's iPhone 3GS doesn't have enough hardware features to seem as impressive as the jump from 1st gen iPhone to iPhone 3G so Apple are keen to provide software advantages aswell that are still most likely possible albiet at a lower quality.
So is Apple just trying to create more features to make the upgrade more impressive than it really should be, or are they really trying to provide their customers with the best quality possible by only allowing it to run on the upgraded model as it would suck in comparison?
