What a stupid headline. That's true of every product. The iPhone 4 was the first good one. The same is probably true of the telephone. This is just an excuse for Apple to get more ink.
iPhone 4, the one famous for “you’re holding it wrong”?
I mean the iPhone 4, the one famous for the first significant display upgrade, the first front-facing camera, and the first one with facetime. I'm no Apple fanboy - in fact I've never owned one. But it was the first modern smartphone. The original iPhone launched without an app store. First generation products are always overpriced and experimental. They are always missing core features (imagine buying a phone with no front camera today). It takes a few generations.
I generally agree, but I'm saying that it still had some early adopter issues.
btw, I had an iPhone 4 and used it for a long time.
