What happened to the iphone sleek design. Iphone 4 is ugly and boxy looking

really blew it with the iphone 4gs design. It looks like every other phone now. Its ugly.What happend to the sleek beautiful iphone that we have all come to known.

I think there are other brands that can do more than compete.
Depends what you compare them against. If it is pure hardware technical specification, then yes, there are other phones on the market that exceed the technical specifications of almost every individual iPhone feature.
However, Apple is not a purely hardware company. They spend at least as long, if not longer, on the software that runs on this hardware. And it is that combination of hardware and software that keeps Apple ahead.
What's the point in the most technologically advanced phone ever made, if the software to use it (user interface and operating system) is an absolute pig to use.
I'm lucky that I get to see and play around with most new phones that come out, including all the so-called "iPhone Killers" from Sony Ericsson, Nokia, HTC etc. etc.
So far, not one of them (despite having better technical specs in many cases) beats the iPhone in terms of the overall user experience - how easy, intuitive, seamless, slick and just plain enjoyable - the phones are to use.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia phones look great on paper and in the hand, but they are so annoying to use!! Unintuitive, sluggish, clunky. It's almost as though the software that runs these great bits of hardware is an afterthought, just done in the last few weeks before sale.

  • DW CC: What happened to the workspace called Design?

    I am taking a webdesign course and the book we are using is for CS6. In it there is a reference to resetting the Workplace Layout to "Design". In DW CC I don't see it as a choice. I ony have two choices: Expanded or Compact.
    Has the Design workspace layout deleted?
    Is either Compact or Expanded a new name for it?
    Thank you for your help.

    No.
    The workspaces in Dreamweaver CC have been changed. But that doesn't stop you from creating your own workspace. Just drag and drop the panels to suit your own workflow, and select New Workspace from the menu. Save the workspace with your own name.
    That's the way it's always worked. The default workspaces have always been meant to be just starting points. The new ones are simpler, and include the most frequently used panels.

  • What happened to the Lumia 800 design???

    Well it's obvious that the current Lumia 800 is on a dead track since it no longer supports an update to the new OS. That wouldn't be much of a problem when the new Lumia designs were based on the 800. Unfortunatelly though the new x20 series are utterly boring! (except for the 920, but that one is too big/heavy and without amoled)
    I really can’t think of any reason for redesigning the phone. The 800 was differentiating from the rest of the market and very stylish. Like Apple, Nokia better had to keep on to this winning design so it's recognizable. But just adapting it a bit, bringing better hardware and so on...
    Maybe I'm wrong here and it's just me that loves the 800. So for me it’s a difficult dilemma, I have to choose for design or functionality where both should have been joined…

    The lumia 800 has a superior design.
    It is the most beautiful smartphone nokia, is simply a piece of art, either in size or in design.
    All 20's are horrible

  • What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    What happens to the mail in my iMac after I delete it from my iPhone? Will it be deleted from my computer as well?

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • TS3694 What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.

    What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.

    Thank you for your response. However, I have done that plenty of times and each time I try to restore my phone, it extracts the software and then when it says restoring with the loading bar, an error message comes up saying an unknown error has occurred.

  • IPhone 5 what happened to the battery!

    Took my iPhone to the apple store as I was having an issue with the mic it was intermittently not picking up so they said the only thing they could do for now is put iOS 7 on my phone I have been holding back for weeks I really don't like the look of it but thought if it solves the issue then I will have to get over it, I use my iPhone as my satnav as well and when I went to the store I had around 85% plenty to do what I needed to do and get me home again with around 50% left is the usual for the length of drive however after driving home again It suddenly went down to 10% what happened to the battery life?? I can't walk around with a generator in my pocket to keep it charged I then made my usual phone call at night which lasted 2 1/2 hours and normally I would be looking around using 30% tonight I used almost 80%!  

    recalibrate the battery, let it completely drain out to where the phone shuts off and then fully charge it without using it.
    here are some other tips http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/

  • My iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?

    my iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?

    After the sixth erroneous passcode entry a delay is imposed that increases exponentially and eventually reaches over 40 years before another attempt can be made.
    No one yet knows how long the next delay is.

  • TS4124 I had 900 songs and Itunes match loaded only 92 songs to my iphone devices. What happened to the rest?

    I had 900 songs before I added itunes match and when it loaded my music it only loaded 92 songs to my iphones and ipad. What happened to the other 800 and can I recover them?

    Music that does not adhere to the basic parameters for itunes match are not added to the cloud.  Such things as too low a bitrate can disqualify a song.  Also, only music that is in itunes will qualify.  If you have home-made music, that won't be added to itunes match.

  • HT4113 what happens after the iphone is at iphone disabled wait 60 mins

    what happens after the iphone is at disabled wait 60 mins

    Apple will continue to have service replacements for the iPhone 5 for a long time to come. So if you go to Apple for an exchange, you'll get the same model of iPhone that you turn in. You will not get a 5C.
    As to the price change, there may be nothing to be done, but if you wanted to get the iPhone replaced  but that the Genius could not or would not do the replacement at that time,  talk to the manager of the Apple Store, explain that you were in and reported the problem before the price increase but could not get a replacement then. Perhaps they'll be able to do something for you. If it was your choice not to replace the iPhone, though, then you're probably stuck, just as with any product price increase when you previously elected not to purchase.
    Regards.
