Jaquan's Peer Review

So far this is a great wiki page! It's easy to read and follow. It isn't bombarded with extra information and it is accurate as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BuabengFelix (talk • contribs) 03:51, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

history of I Phone..

I’m giving a three star review because the phone is still usable.

I purchased the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I really wanted to say this is a straight up five star review but it's sadly not. In terms of build quality, they can have a billion stars. I think the build quality and the physical hardware is great and lives up to the expectation.

in terms of software, this feels like five steps backwards. When this phone came out with iOS 15 out the gate, I’m telling you right now, I got a solid three days of battery life on Heavy usage - in between charges, which I’ve never gotten out of anything I’ve ever tried. The software interface itself was super smooth and almost heavenly. The buttery smooth 120 Hz refresh rate is probably one of my favorite specs about this other than battery life.

Honestly, I massively regret forgetting to turn off automatic updates. Every update since iOS 15, my phone is a glitchy mess. Siri doesn’t like responding most of the time, phone calls drop or no one can hear me and I can't hear them, Bluetooth doesn’t like acknowledging any of my previously paired devices (i came from iPhone 11), even after removing them entirely and repairing them all over again. Screen share, airplay etc and whatever else doesn’t like to cooperate often. This phone just doesn’t feel like a smart phone anymore, after these last couple of software updates.

And I'm really mad that I don't get 3 days on a charge anymore. I get maybe 2 full days.

I really hope that future updates fix this and bring back the glorious feeling the very first version of iOS 15 gave.Less — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.130.29 (talk) 07:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

iphone

After being with another company for two years, I changed my service and came to Verizon. One would say that I “downgraded” because my previous phone was the iPhone 12 Pro Max & I chose the regular 13. There are a couple camera features that I don’t have now coming from the Pro line, but truthfully I don’t have any regrets. I enjoy the smaller size & its sooo lightweight compared to the Pro Max. It takes great pics and I’m not seeing any glitching with it. I’m having more battery time because once I downloaded iOS 15 on the PM, it drained the battery. Not with this phone though. My only slight con would be, I’m not seeing any 5G, and I live in a town that’s supposedly 5G supported. My last company, I had 5G all the time, but the flip side to this and the reason why I’m not too worried is I use my WiFi most times anyway (I work from home), so it’s not that huge of a deal to me. However, for the phone itself, I have 0 complaints and I thought I would coming from the pro line. I’m very content with this phone & I’ll be rocking with it for a year or two. The pink color is pink enough for me, although others don’t seem to like it. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with my purchase.Less khlaskjdlo ASNDM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.130.29 (talk) 07:27, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

"Initial development" opening sentence

Can someone review the opening sentence in the "Initial Development" section? This is nonsensical to me. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:01, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Split

This article frankly has a ton of cruft, and should likely be split off into the current article (with a lesser focus on early history) and a new article called Development of the iPhone, since so many articles and books have been written about that specific topic, including by the iPhone's creators. Ken Kocienda's book would be a good start; the keyboard's developent could take up a whole section. Same with processor choice (x86 vs ARM), the carriers giving Apple more freedom than they gave any other handset manufacturer at the time, etc. A plenty notable topic on its own, I just don't have the time to write it myself.

The lead betrays this problem by reframing the article title as The history of the iPhone development (meh).

I also think Wikipedia in general is lacking in "development of" articles that would be of interest to many readers, possibly due to overly harsh interpretations of WP:NOTABILITY. DFlhb (talk) 16:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Genesis of iphone section needs fixing

Whoever wrote that section either failed english in high school or was written by a non-native english speaker. Can someone please edit that section to be grammatically correct or just delete it entirely? 2.26.40.69 (talk) 17:19, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I think it's best to delete it entirely. It (poorly) paraphrases information that is covered in what is otherwise a concise and easily-navigable article. Thoughts? Glad Tidings from New York (talk) 23:05, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

It was since properly rewritten; and I think it's noteworthy, so I support keeping. DFlhb (talk) 20:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. Glad Tidings from New York (talk) 00:55, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
