From reception issues for the left-handed to missing accessories, outdated features and ugly blotches on the screen, the iPhone 4 has a little TOO much room for improvement.
Even with all the hype, and a $700 price tag in some markets, the iPhone 4 has managed to disappoint even some of the most diehard Apple fans.

    Poor Reception Unless You Hold It Like A Robot

    The blogs have erupted with complaints concerning reception problems with the iPhone 4. Some users have reported troubles getting a signal in areas where the older iPhone worked fine.

    Apparently the new iPhone needs to be held a certain way otherwise it loses connectivity and drops calls.

    One rumor floating the internet is that Steve Jobs responded to one user by saying "just don't hold it that way."

    Oddly enough most of the commercials for the iPhone 4 show people holding it the wrong way.

    Check out the youtube clip on how not to hold the new iPhone 4.

    That's right, how NOT to hold something. You'd think Apple would be a little more sophisticated than putting something out, it breaking during normal use and going "well, you're not doing it right!" They're like an old prospector with this.

    In other news, I think the internet has found a solution for this problem. Good ol' internet!

    Video Calling - No FaceTime Unless There's Internet Around

    The new iPhone 4 uses Apple's FaceTime video calling application to allow users to see each while on the phone. The resolution and streaming seems to be top notch, and using Face Time doesn't count as billable minutes. But STILL, somehow, there are some drawbacks.

    Face Time uses Wi-Fi so you have to be connected to a network in order to use it.

    Also Face Time only works from one iPhone 4 to another. Users that want video calling with non-iPhone 4 users will be forced to either find other applications or buy all their friends new iPhones.

    (Negative)BONUS: Even if you COULD get onto this easily and anywhere you want, if you weren't near a charger your conversation probably wouldn't last very long anyway, as apparently the battery on the iPhone 4, even though it's supposedly more powerful by about 40%, really isn't that much better than the one on the 3GS.

    FaceTime IS great technology, though, and really where phones have been moving towards for the last few years. There's nothing like actually SEEING the people you're speaking for a whole 13 minutes before your battery gives out in the middle of the day.

    Yellow Blotches On Screen

    "Does my new terribly expensive new phone have Jaundice?"

    Yes. Yes it does.

    Consumers are baffled by yellow blotches underneath the screen. Look closely... it's quite annoying. We won't make you watch any videos that have to do with this because you can pretty much see for yourself in this picture.

    After shelling out a few Benjamins (read: 7 of 'em) for an iPhone 4, consumers are becoming irate over the issue.

    The good news is the blotches seem to be temporary and usually dissipate after a few days.

    The cause appears to be the glue under the screen hasn't completely dried. Apple seems to be shipping the iPhones straight from the assembly line to the stores.

    Apple Wish They Knew How To Quit AT&T

    Early this year there was speculation revolving the iPhone 4 being offered by Verizon in the "near f*ture". Various sources have reported a deal is still in the works, but there's no working time frame for when this may happen.

    With the announcement of iPhone 4, SURELY they'd also switch technologies to be compatible with anything but an overpriced unreliable network... or not.

    For now iPhone 4 users are still saddled with AT&T and its high fees for data-heavy users.

    Consumers are apparently just going to have to wait a few weeks for the local cell phone stores to start unlocking the phones to use with other carriers... or "backdoor activation", as it's being called.

    Note: some users encountered problems with unlocked older iPhones, when, after software updates, they had to unlock the phones all over again.

    So everyone hold on to your contracts and start counting the days like everyone else has... other networks, here we come (in probably another year or so)!

    People Paying For The New iPhone Actually Want to Hold It

    Customers trying to pre-order the iphone 4 online ran into numerous problems & bugs on opening week's Tuesday, causing them to wait in line at brick and mortar retailers. Some stores have already ran out of the phone and have to order new ones.

    The white model of the phone is scarce online and in retail stores. Apple released a statement announcing that more iPhones in white should become available in July.

    Here's a video of people waiting in line for the iPhone 4 in Palo Alto. The lines were ENORMOUS. The best part about this video is how many of these people are on their (perfectly adequately working) phones.

    i still do not see how this is a bad thing. with all apple products or any product in high demand it is hard to get plus anyone who paid for the phone got it everyone in the line at the store had not paid fo a phone yet plus who in the world will normally make 5 million unit of a product on the opening days. they got in a high demand of pre orders and basically doubled it. thin about from a biz aspect would you have made more(not knowing what you obviously know now)?

    i still do ot see why this complaint is only for iphones. it is not the first time that a carrier has an exclusive contract with a manufacturer for a particular phone. The droid is only on verizon, the evo is only on sprint and in other countries the phone is unlocked so how does this bring down the iphone in anyway?

    this article is weak and stupid. android phones have WAY more serious problems that actually affect using the phone, like crashing, freezing, syncing, emailing, etc... "outdated features?", the screen pixel density, IPS and gyroscope are things no other phone has, idiots!

      Um android doesn't have any problems with crashing or freezing(at least any phones on 2.0,2.1 or 2.2). Obviously LIKE EVERY OTHER SMARTPHONE my phone does sync stuff and email and i dont no how you would say thats a problem. Yes the iPhone has the IPS screen and a gyroscope but android phones have hdmi outputs, customization, real multi-tasking(not just apps that allow it like iOS 4), Amoled and Super Amoled Screens(witch are just as good as IPS screen unless you ask Steve Jobs), Wifi hotspot witch depending on device can connect 5-8 devices to it,and Flash 10.1 support. Ill have to say i dont like this article i think the iPhone 4 is a great device witch im one of the few android fanboys that say that but to JJ saying Android has outdated features is ludicrous and ignorant and not being able to admit there are more then one great device in this world is just wrong.

      I own a droid. As do several of my friends. I've never had a crash. All my google accounts sync seemlessly and wirelessly and i get instant push notification. The iPhone gets none of this. I also have two friends that got the new iphone and both have had several crashes this week. The pixel density of the Droid Incredible (and several other droid phones) is pretty damn close (in fact nearly indistinguishable by the human eye. IPS? Really? Thats the best you can do? Gyroscope is pointless. Heres a good video for you to watch :)

    This point is a little disingenuous. All of the old cords, power adapters, and car adapters still work.

    Also, what do you expect? The phone's been the same shape for over two years. You think that just because they finally change that up (a little), it's a _downfall_?

    Hmm, this list is quite accurate at problem spotting but I don't think that many of these problems will bother the average user. I took delivery of my iphone last week, no yellow spots, don't use at&t (o2-uk). Iaven't been able to reproduce the signal issues myself although a friend has. The one iphone case that i had was a slide in/out so works fine and i think most customers will accept that when they buy a new phone they can't expect their existing case to fit especially when a second camera, a larger primary camera and a flash have been added. Bose sound dock and sony hifi with ipod dock both work fine and the camera is definitely good enough as a point and shoot substitute. Facetime is the one thing that so far I don't really see myself using much but perhaps if other manufacturers adopted the open standard it might become more useful. The one thing that actively annoys me about the new iphone is that the user interface does not seem to have caught up with the retina display. The new display is fantastic, text that would otherwise be too small to read becomes legible on the iPhone 4. Despite this the iphone, instead of giving the user the option of having smaller text and therefore more information displayed on the screen (eg in mail) , displays graphics which seem large.

        What world are you living in? Most if not all Android phones, all WebOS phones (Palm Pre, Pixi, Pre Plu, Pixi Plus), f*ture Windows Phone 7 devices, and many many MANY other smartphones have Flash or at least some form of Flash (Flash Lite, etc...). To say that only the Nexus One has it is to be completely and utterly false, as well as ignorant of the other options out there.

          You are absolutely wrong. Flash lite doesn't do anything that real flash does. Very soon many phones will have flash, but at the moment, the only modern smart phone that has Flash is the Nexus One. Web OS, is getting flash the second half of this year. No other Android phones currently have Android 2.2, which is the only OS with flash. Blackberry's don't have flash.

    What's the point of this criticism? Facetime requires the bandwidth that only Wifi will provide. Moreover, it is a feature that is only enabled through iPhone OS 4. Did you have anything constructive to say, or was this just for the point of whining / ranting? It seems like the latter.

    It's not all about megapixels... it's about the size of the image sensor. If you look at comparisons between iPhone 4's photos and other phone's photos, you'll notice that the iPhone's photos stand out in quality. This is because of a larger image sensor.

    I type faster on the iPhone keyboard than on any hardware smartphone keyboard I've ever used.

    The camera has been rated better at stills and video than the Droid's 8MP. Megapixels are marketing tricks after a certain number. It's all about the sensor. iPhone 4 takes gorgeous pics. Maybe try one?

    It actually fits perfectly into the first gen iPhone dock. Also, no iPhone ever came with a dock after iPhone 1. Neither do 90% of other phones. Nor are they at all necessary.

    Like you said, the screen issues disappear after a day. Get a box of tissues til tomorrow.

    The thing sold 1.7 million units in a single day. It had the most successful launch of any product in Apple history. You wanna take over production estimating at Apple? Deal with it bud.

    FaceTime's limitation to WiFi is all in AT&T's court. Verizon wouldn't be able to handle 10 million video calls a day over its network either. Wake up.

    I'm a lefty. I've never been able to replicate the service drop problem. I've actively tried. It's also occurred on non-Apple phones, and the 3G/3GS running iOS 4. They're supposed to be releasing a software patch to switch the algorithm used to acquire a signal back to the way iOS 3 did it.

    So all in all I see a single shortfall here, and it's that AT&T sucks. Even if I didn't get a fully working model on day 1 it would be a stretch to consider 3 of these actual downfalls.

    You gonna cry til you get one?

    Outdated Keyboard Functions, Lack Of Helpful Apps To Improve at 6/29/2010 4:56 PM
    The iPhone's keyboard doesn't lack much without Swype's technology. I've been using the iPhone's keyboard for awhile and even with fat fingers (barely anyone has fingers small enough) it is one of the best onscreen keyboards I've ever used. It can correct almost anything perfectly, you just have to get used to ignoring your mistakes and letting the keyboard fix them for you. Its fault comes to smaller words, but that's something that Swype enabled keyboards suffer from at as well.

    People will never learn about apple's iphone. The iphone 4 is nice and looks very modern but it is a inferior piece iof technology compared to many other phones on the market. Yeah apple has the most apps, big deal, you are just making them richer and most of the apps are junk. I have never had one, never wanted one and never will buy this overpriced, overhyped, overrated phone..... especially since they stuck with that junk service from AT&T.

      Ever heard the saying "Don't knock it until you try it"?

      1. Inferior technology? Check out iFixit's teardown and see just how <sarcasm>inferior</sarcasm> this phone is.
      2. Most apps are c**p, but even if you removed all the c**ppy apps, there would still be more apps than in Android's or RIM's app stores.
      3. All telecoms suck. I had Verizon before AT&T (and Sprint before that) and had a lot more dropped calls.
      4. Overpriced? All smartphones are around the same price with a 2-year contract. Are you saying you don't want a smartphone? Then the iPhone clearly isn't for you.

      Finally, all products have shortcomings, including the iPhone. You might have sounded more intelligent by speaking about the lack of Adobe Flash support or a closed development architecture.

    This isn't new in technology. Try and find another phone or portable device where previous iterations' accessories will work with the next evolution of said phone or device, it will be tough. Don't get me wrong, I hate it myself, its just Apple has had a better track record for not doing this before.

    If you paid for it, then you pre-ordered and more than likely received it a day or two before the official release date. If you reserved it, then yes, you had to stand in line with everyone else who reserved their phones. All in all, 1.7 million units were sold in the 3 days since launch, making it Apple's biggest launch ever.

    Cheap and myopic camera? Sorry but the megapixel myth doesn't seem to be dying here. If the pundit bloggers knew what they were talking about, it would be an ISO war not a megapixel war.

    "The iPhone packs its 5 million pixels onto a 1/3.2-inch backside-illuminated CMOS sensor. Sensors with backside illumination technology move the wiring from the front side of the sensor to the back, so that it’s behind the light sensors. This allows more light to reach the sensors without being diffused by the circuitry, which means the camera can capture better low-light images."

      it's a phone, not a camera. why does anyone care? you function on a level consistent with a retarded baby suffering from fetal alcohol syndrom if THAT'S the end-all-be-all feature of a telephone to you

    Megapixels aren't everything....I wish people would understand that. This article proves that the iPhone outclasses the Droid phones with supposedly "better" cameras (and apparently it even beats out some point-and-shoots): http://www.pcworld.com/article/199845/smartphone_camera_battle_iphone_4_vs_the_android_army.html

    It's called change in product design and inevitably certain things will no longer work or fit, especially items which are form-fitted to a particular model. On a positive note, all cases, skins and docks worked for both the 2nd and 3rd generation iPhones, and interestingly enough the 1st generation dock works beautifully for the iPhone 4. Apple has not included a dock since the original iPhone. Again, do your research before you spew out garbage.

    I am right handed and always hold my phone in my right hand. I don't have any issues with reception.

      well, you named yourself "idiot," which i believe is true if you bought one of these pieces of overpriced garbage.

    Cheap, Myopic Camera at 6/29/2010 4:22 PM
    Yes, because cramming more pixels onto a tiny cameraphone sensor always yields better results, like much more noise. Do your research before you spew out nonsense.

    Yeah, you know it's an easy dig at the iPhone 4 to say this is an issue, but the jury is still out, and EVERY cell phone suffers from this problem. It's an INEVITABLE problem with cell phones.
