The iPhone Upgrade Program is a 24-month program designed for consumers to be able to get the latest iPhone every year, without paying the whole price up-front. The program consists of "low monthly payments", where consumers will gradually pay for the iPhone they have over a 24-month period, with an opportunity to switch (upgrade) to the new iPhone after 12 months of payment have passed. Once 12 months have passed, consumers can trade their current iPhone with a new one, and the payments are transferred from the old device to the new device, and the program "restarts" with a new 24-month period.

Pitfalls

With its two latest iPhones, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, Apple has removed the 3.5mm audio jack that lets you connect a pair of standard headphones.

Since iOS 5 the iPhone sometimes takes pictures upside down, see below in the support area on this page.

Apple is behind in screen resolution by about two years. Apple didn't release a HD screen until 2014 which is two years after Android already had 1080p resolution.

The only way to copy files from your iPhone to a PC is using iTunes! You have to install iTunes and set up an account, and then you are limited to moving only media files such as photos.

The iPhone battery is sealed inside the phone and not consumer replaceable. It is a major technical process to make a battery change if the battery goes bad, and they do go bad. Battery life is not very good on the iPhone as another minus. The battery is not even 2000 mAh. Also, you need a special Apple charger to recharge the phone.

Photos Are Upside Down

Since iOS5 you notice that iPhone photos and videos are upside down when you save them to your computer. They are upside down when you email them to other people.

To reproduce: when you hold your camera with the volume buttons pointing up, your photos will be upside down when viewed with a Microsoft Windows computer.

Culprit: Apple's improper use of EXIF tags. Apple used a shortcut and skipped writing the correct orientation to EXIF so that their camera app would be quicker.

Resolution: Take your iPhone photos and videos with the volume buttons pointing down. You can also use a smarter app that is made to write the correct orientation to EXIF within the image file. It is reported that an app called Camera+ for the iPhone will take care of this for you.

Other info: It is said that Windows image views often don't recognize the image metadata. What Apple calls Metadata is the EXIF info within the image. The image can be upside down and have EXIF data that says "this image is upside down so flip it to view it" and then modern image viewing software is supposed to read this EXIF metadata and know to flip the image when displaying it. Well, that is kind of like putting all the photographs upside down in the family photo album, then on the cover post a note to hold the album upside down when viewing the photographs! How dumb is that? Why not just save the damn image in the correct orientation and skip the meta data bs? Well newer Windows image views including those bundled with Windows 8 and above will read the EXIF meta data and flip images that are upside down. Still, what a bunch of extra nonsense for a problem that could be solved by Apple just saving the image correctly.
