Apple iPhone 3G defects already noticed
Written by Meraj Chhaya on July 15, 2008 – 5:38 pm
Besides some of the noted bad points of the device, such as the battery performance, there are reports of faulty motion sensors, volume keys, but mostly, yellow tinted displays. It’s not even a week since the first iPhone 3G sold, and people are already making a fuss about it. A warning side to the countries are still waiting for the phone, such as South Africa, whom rumouredly should receive it within the next few weeks, and also to the people who haven’t bought it (yet).
Some of the complainants consider the yellow-tint to be a firmware issue, while others consider it a hardware problem. Few have noticed that it only happens in the 16GB variant, and by increasing the brightness, it’s not visible. Engadget spoke to a marketing manager of Apple who told them:
the screen’s colour temperature has been purposely altered on the new iPhone to produce warmer, more natural tones, sharper images, and deeper blacks
Please do let us know if you encounter any problems with the new iPhone.
