Sick of the iPhone
It has been a long ride but here we are smack dab in the middle of “iPhone Week” and I couldn’t be happier. No, I’m not happy because the iPhone will finally be available for purchase, I’m happy because it means an end to all the annoying stories.
At first I was very intrigued with the iPhone. I would eat up all of the hype and all of the rumors. After over six months of this I am ready for an end. It seems that all of the Apple related blogs I read cover the iPhone more than anything else. On the front page of Mac Rumors there are eight different iPhone stories. On Arstechnica’s Infinite Loop there are thirteen different posts. Technorati is reporting over 300k iPhone posts! Even my favorite podcasts are filled with iPhone news. The utterance of the word “iPhone” makes me want to puke blood.
Thankfully I’m not the only one who feels this way. Do a search for “Sick of the iPhone” and look at the number of results that are displayed.
There’s a great articled titled “Anyone else sick of the iPhone?” on Shallow Thoughts that discusses how Apple seems to be losing focus. Even the Fake Steve Jobs hates all of the iPhone news!
Sure, the iPhone is going to be a huge hit. Yes, it looks like a wonderful phone. Yes, I would purchase one if ATT has service in Sioux Falls. But all of the hype is getting to me.
In the end, I’d love to have an iPhone or even just drool over one for awhile. But for now, I wish every one would just shut the hell up.
