As an iPhone 3GS user, I was excited about the new iPhone that was going to be announced this week. But instead all of the cool new features and amazing things that it can do being the main thing I took away from the announcement; it was how well apple promotes itself. Somehow they are able to take the most mundane and average of statistics and make them seem earth shattering and revolutionary. Now don’t get me wrong. I love my iPhone. It is probably the single best technology device I have ever owned, much less cell phone. I still think it is the best mobile device out there, even better than android. (Here are just a couple of reasons: http://dontbuyandroid.tumblr.com/) But boy does apple know how to toot its own horn. You’d have thought that the invented the wheel or something. Now the improvements to the iOS is something to be impressed with. The new camera capabilities, iCloud, reminders, Wi-Fi sync and most importantly a PC Free backup and management. We all know there are flaws in apple products, but they all just seem to work. How can a company like Microsoft produce revolutionary technology, and dare I say, sometimes even a better product then others in the market but have such a low market “fan” base? But Apple with all of its restrictions and closed environment, draw the attention and adoration of so many technology fans?
