Full FeedAnalyst notes that Apple’s iPhone is not a smartphone
It hasn’t even been a full day yet and people are already coming to the realization about what Apple’s iPhone is, and isn’t. Analyst Michael Gartenberg of Jupiter Research has noted that the new iPhone is NOT a smartphone. Why isn’t it a smartphone? It looks smart, right? Gartenberg is saying that the term “smartphone” means that third party software is able to be installed… and Apple’s new phone only allows first party support. Engadget notes some other “unfortunate realities about the device”:
- No 3G. We know you know, but still, it hurts man.
- No over the air iTunes Store downloads or WiFi syncing to your host machine.
- No expandable memory.
- No removable battery.
- No Exchange or Office support.
