Comments on: To Apple: iPhone Feedback http://www.albertbanks.com/2007/09/26/to-apple-iphone-feedback/ My mind is going. There is no question about it.

If you believe the reports, Steve Jobs is himself leading the charge. My take: Whatever Apple does, it won't be a netbook in the usual sense, I also bet that Apple, if it does anything, will itself avoid using the n-word to describe it.

To keep a long story short, I switched from my existing provider in Singapore to Singtel in January 2009, lost the iphone(16 GB) two weeks later and Singtel offers me a replacement for US$1000 bucks and I tell them they are insane and practicing predatory pricing. Shame on Apple to allow this. You can buy an unlocked iPhone in Hong Kong for US$800 from an Apple shop. Optus in Australia sells it with a pre-paid line for US$600 US$80 prepaid card top up. Today I was reading about Apples International Warranty on the iPhone and guess what I see . Can I get my iPhone serviced outside the country of purchase? No, service for eligible repairs is only available in the country where your iPhone was purchased. I cannot remember the last time I bought a laptop or phone that did not have a truly international warranty where it can be repaired anywhere. Apple really SHAME on you for setting the telecommunications industry back so many years. What has a product warranty got to do with the carrier. I have a operational line with Singtel, I bought the iPhone in another country but it is unlocked by the carrier also according to policy, now I suspect if anything goes wrong Apple and Singtel will try to screw me over again. By the way am not an Apple Basher, I have gone through two iMacs, this is written on a Macbook Pro and I “used to be” to be telling everyone I know that they should buy an iPhone. After what I have discovered over the last 4 weeks, I tell my friend to run for their lifes and not to touch an iPhone with a ten foot pole unless Apple changes it policies. I guess the two iPods I was planning to buy for my kids will have to wait, just on a matter of principle. I have been loyal to the Apple Brand for over 20 years and it looks like Apple is starting to repeat its mistakes of the past and getting way to arrogant in how it treats its customers. By the way e-mails to Apple received no acknowledgement, so I guess my a customers opinion doesn’t matter anymore.

During the 14 months I have owned an Iphone I have had two hardware failures and two "this phone needs repair" which is obvious because the only call the IPhone can make is to 911! It is a piece of crap and no one should ever buy one! Apple sold too many phones and the chinese who made them completely screwed them up! Apple does not stand behind their warranty and you are shit of luck when the warranty runs out. DO NOT EVERY BUY AN IPHONE..IT IS POOR TECHNOLOGY AND DOES NOT LAST! I bought a new IPhone for US$599.

The original spirit of Apple was to encourage 3rd party expansion (anyone remember the Apple II?). That is what made them a success back then. Apple, please remember lessons from the past and benefit us AND yourselves. I fully agree with Allen.

I understand fighting the unlocks, but I can't imagine why Apple would prevent the 3rd-party apps. If anything, it makes the iPhone more appealing! P.S. Nice job on the blog! You may have inspired me to put up my own blog. I'll let you know if/when I do... Nicely put, my friend!
