The Verdict on iPhone Update 2.0.2
By Daniel Miessler on August 21st, 2008: Tagged as Apple | iPhone
In short, more of the same suckage.
- I still drop way more calls than I ever have—even going back to 1998
- The contact search is still laggy as hell
- Typing still hangs/lags constantly
- The phone still doesn’t work well on the AT&T network—especially when it comes to 3G
I’m at this point amazed that the iPhone is this screwed up after all this time. I would have bet solid money that they would not be in this bad of shape, this long after the 3G release. It’s simply unacceptable, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
A week? Sure. Two weeks? Sure. But not a month, and definitely not two months.
If the 2.1 update doesn’t come soon, and it doesn’t address pretty much all of these issues, Apple is going to be in a serious situation. Apple users are fiercely loyal when things are going reasonably well, but when they get screwed they’re a hateful, evil lot.
That’s the direction I’m heading. Hateful and evil.
So Are You Getting Rid of Your iPhone?
Hell no. That’s the messed up part. As angry as I am with Apple right now, a broken iPhone is still better to me than a working $any-other-phone. Basically, I’d rather have a rickety apartment in the Bay Area than a penthouse in Haiti.
But there are limits.
Apple. Fix your shit. 2.1 better shine.:
