Yes, 80 percent of Iphone users are using a PC, but out of that 80 percent the hobbiest that actually wants an organized digital collection that shows off the home entertainment system to its fullist is maybe a fraction of those.
They absolutely must know of the problem and yes they did create some sort of different JPEG. I would have never went this direction because the number one feature of my picking out a phone is the camera and multimedia functions. I will probably never carry camera that is not a phone also for the rest of my life, well, except I do like my waterproof Kodak for the summer time.
The newest Apple add says, "this is the only camera you need" The add is part of a huge campaign. The camera does not have a timer, you have to take the back case off for flash photos, you can not shoot photos in widescreen 16x9, then once edited on the Iphone the changes do not transfer over to Windows 7. People keep telling me they can take non blurry photos and video with one hand holding the Iphone sideways. The one and only way is to hold the phone upside down, then you need to rotate them on a PC later which is a pain.
I was outside of my return date before I ever started editing my photos and really was never worried because all the old Iphones had typical JPEG files.
I get the experts telling me to buy apps to do simple things like widescreen photos or timers, that is funny. The quickstart buttons on the Iphone 4s were why I bought the phone. There is nothing worse than waiting for someone trying to take a photo going though apps and settings. The window for a good photo is about 1 second, past that it simply looks posed.
Thank you so much for not making me feel alone, that has been Apples trick for way too long. They have so many cheerleaders, quite a crazy group. I call it the Gratefull Dead group for gadgets. When you see a customer complaining at a Genious Bar they are treating those guys like they are a local preacher of something. Its like, thank you Apple. I had the opportunity to take time off work or my family to have this wonderful experience of coming to the Apple Store. Simply it is weird. Yes, though, they do give great service once at the Genious Bar though. I see all these customers shaking hands, saying thank yous, all because some kid replaced there phone. The customer just lost important calls for the two days prior and everything on his phone since the last back up was lost for ever, but, thank you Apple.
