The video chat is only available on wifi and only to other iPhone 4's
Too much bandwidth for a 3g network.
Then it's too much bandwidth for a phone.
the 'retina display' is a false claim
How?
The claim that it is the maximum number of pixels that the retina can recognize is a false claim. That was determined by people much smarter than I
you only program in what Apple wants you to
Well, you pay to get approved.
What? You pay to get approved, so Apple can force you to use their platform to code in? That's your argument in favor of it?
the app store is strictly controlled
I'd rather have it controlled than having nothing but porn apps. Google has some control in the Android Market, Palm app store has no control and as filled with nothing but porn apps. Plus, if Apple approves the app submission, you know it'll actually work.
You don't have to strictly control the app store in order to prevent porn apps. There are no porn apps in the Market, without Apple's Nazi style control.
no Flash
Not all Android phones have it either, and Palm has done nothing but shown off flash on their phones.
So, your argument is... the competition doesn't all have it either? Really?
non-removable battery
Unless it's a phone with terrible battery like my Samsung Moment, you don't need to improve it.
That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. If your phone usage means the battery doesn't last the day, then yes... you need a removable battery. Heck, I replaced mine on the Eris, and it lasts longer than my brother's iPhone
no improvement on internal memory
16 gb of memory isn't enough? I've got a 16gb card in my Moment and I haven't even begun to fill it up. I know phones with microSD slots can change out the memory cards, but hardly anybody changes out their memory cards as it is unless it's a 2gb card.
You only have 16GB of data? I have more songs than that. I also have plenty more family photos and videos than that. Just because you don't use that much, doesn't mean the rest of us should be limited to it
glass case is too fragile (still not convinced by this, but it has been tested on a hollow case)
Then you can't really use this as a complaint then.
Since it is likely worse with the internals added, yeah... he can use it as a complaint
iOS4 doesn't have multitasking (no matter what Apple say)
Truth be told, you don't need a lot of multitasking on a phone. What are you gonna do really, get online, listen to music, make a call?
I personally go online, and while the page loads, I play a video game, while listening to Pandora, but that's just me personally. Just because you never would use the function, doesn't mean that it isn't VERY useful
force you to use iTunes (is this still true? not sure on this)
I don't like Itunes, but it does actually work.
Sometimes. It's an absolutely god awful program. If you don't know that, then I don't know what to say.
less customisation than other phone OS's
You can change your wallpaper, change dock items, and change where the apps are. That's really all you need.
I want to thank both you and Steve Jobs for deciding for the rest of us, what we really need.
Apple bricks your iPhone if you jailbreak it
They haven't for years now. I've got my Iphone 2g jailbroken and I can use Itunes and all no problems.
So, your argument here is. "They haven't done that in awhile, and while they took the position that they were clearly justified in bricking all of those jailbroken iPhones, I believe that they won't do it again (even though they haven't said that they wouldn't)"?
I'm sorry, I just don't find that a credible argument
Enough for you?
