iPhone 5 Problems

iPhone 5 was just released, but the new gadget, has already very big issues. Although all the Apple products that were released so far were the subject of many debates, this is probably the product with the most significant problems ever and many people are saying that the first major product after Steve Jobs, is “the most flawed iPhone in several generations”. And they are right. Even Apple admits that at least one of their services, specifically Apple Maps is a failure and they have published a letter of apology on their website that was signed by Tim Cook. “With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better”. 

However, the fact that Apple admitted this failure is confirming the many other problems that the iPhone has. For example, it has been reported that the camera of iPhone 5,  has even bigger problems than the iPhone 4s. While comparing two photos taken with iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, while the camera was directed to the sun, the iPhone 5 had problems with the so called “purple flare problem” while iPhone 4S hadn’t. Apple admitted this and said that this is a normal problem and the solution would be to move the angle of the phone away from the bright lights.

Other problems noted were Wi-Fi connectivity problems, the  strange noises coming from inside of the gadget, and many others. It is very clear that, although this gadget was very expected, and it sold 5 million iPhone copies in the first weekend that was in stores, people began to experience problems and there are  many complaints about the quality of the product. The expectations were very high and many of the customers are very disappointed.  The product is already for sale and there is not much for the company to do, rather than wait and see if there will appear any other major problem. The future of the company will depend strictly on the quality of this product and its ability to meet the high standards that its customers were used to.
