Guy Kawasaki: My iPhone Review
- dawie 19y agoI saw this earlier today, but I didn't really like the article. Its not an iPhone review, its an AT&T Review.
- KB 19y agoThe title is somewhat misleading but, I'm not sure I agree with your assessment that this is not an iPhone review. Consider the fact that when you purchase an iPhone you instantly become married to AT&T (in Guy's personal opinion.... AT&T's not so great customer service as well) for 2 years. Not to mention having to pay the monthly service fees to AT&T to keep the iPhone up and running.
- Tichy 19y agoWhat is the rationale behind limiting the iPhone to one carrier? I used to think there is too much hype around the iPhone, but lately I wonder if maybe it really is a big deal for Apple: suppose the success of iTunes depends to a large part on iPods. More and more phones become decent enough MP3 players to make iPods superfluous. Hence the whole iTunes business could be at stake with the iPhone?
- jsjenkins168 19y agoApple had to pair with a carrier and offer exclusive rights in order to get back in return what they wanted. The ability to control the plan purchasing via iTunes, selling the iPhone out of Apple stores, sell songs directly via iTunes, etc. Carriers still hold the key so it was really the only way Apple could do these things. And yeah, the end result is that the user is the one who suffers..
