The iPhone Is Not What It Seems

Started by Rishabh Mishra (possible248) · 1 year ago

You’ve heard everybody talking about it. Wherever you go, you can hear people in discussion about only one topic. Yes, that’s right. The rest of the world, and I, are talking about the new iPhone.

Apple has become famous for integrating culture and lifestyle into their products. The same holds true for the iPhone. The feature set doesn't matter. Why do you think that the iPod caught on? It's not particularly technically interesting; my little Samsung MP3 player does everything I need, is about the size of a shuffle, but has a screen and an FM tuner.

It seems to me that the iPhone will have the same thing going on. But only more so, because it appeals more to the geek than the iPod ever has. Seriously; a Darwin-based operating system? A WebKit-based browser? Who cares if it's locked down, is expensive, and has limited 3G connectivity (although its range there doesn't seem _too_ bad)? Not to mention that it just plain looks sweet.

To quote The Matrix, "I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin." It's impossible to predict where the iPhone will go, but it seems that it's going to be a uniformly reasonably popular product that especially appeals to people who buy into the Apple culture. It's also possible that it will continue to breed interest in more advanced phones.
