The iPhone - The Best of the Best
With so many new features available, cell phone manufacturers always compete with one another for supremacy. While many new devices have impressed users, Apple's iPhone set the bar. While many new models are labeled as the "iPhone killer," most consumers seem to agree that the iPhone still tops the competition.
Meanwhile, LG, BlackBerry, Samsung, and HTC are constantly improving. In fact, their latest phones are amazing, especially the Samsung Omnia. However, they lack at least one iPhone feature that endeavors to consumers. The newest BlackBerry (Storm 9530) does not have Wi-Fi. The newest Samsung and HTC models lack multiple languages. The iPhone 3G has 8 gigabytes of memory, more than the Storm, Samsung Omnia, and HTC Touch Diamond combined. Above all, the iPhone boasts a sleek and slim design, a feature that made the Motorola RAZR series so popular a few years ago.
As the mobile phone industry expands due to technological advances, a rival will eventually top the iPhone and its successor, the iPhone 3G. However, Apple will likely come out with another powerhouse, perhaps maintaining control over the market. There are already talks of a 4G network in the future and Apple will certainly capitalize on that market. Sprint PCS has already began a project to establish this network, which will enable even faster and more user-friendly web browsing, amongst many other advantages.
The iPhone's superiority is apparent now, but will not last forever. Technological advances will even the playing field, as they have in the past. Eventually, the true "iPhone killer" will arise and seize the market. Will Apple be ready?
