CONTROVERSIES OF THE iPhone
LG claimed that the design of the phone was copied from their LG Prada..
The Info gear filed for a US trademark “I PHONE” and later filed for I Phone as a result of which the I PHONE mark had been abandoned.
DRAWBACKS OF THE iPhone
Various hackers had found an unlock system for the SIM lock in place provided by the AT&T networks.
The phone limits its access to media players and web features unless been activated with an authorized carrier.
iPhone’s operating system can run software having Apple approval which can be overcooked by “jail breaking” the phone involving replacing the phones firmware with a modified software that does not enforce the signature check.
