Even though many have been disappointed by the slightly lacklustre feature set of the Apple iPhone, the main attraction of the brilliant touch screen and user interface did almost make up for what was lacking elsewhere. Although the firmware update (1.1.3) did solve the problem of sending text messages to multiple recipients, but the lack of MMS is still a trick that has been missed by Apple.

For such a high-price the Apple iPhone should really have had a lot more memory for the money instead of a pitiful 8GB. Now though, hot on the heels of the recently announced amendment to the tariffs comes the 16GB iPhone.

Double the memory obviously means a lot more space for music and videos downloaded through iTunes as well as pictures taken with the 2MP camera (still the same I’m afraid.) It appears though that this is the only update which personally I feel is a shame and something of a missed opportunity.

As well as upgrading the memory Apple could have at least made some adjustments such as adding autofocus
