Apple Caught Cheating!

Apple seems to be trying too hard to promote their iPhone. They have gone as far as reporting false specs about their competitors’ phones.

Today, Apple put up a page on their site with a couple of images comparing the battery life of the preliminary and production iPhone versions. There is another image comparing the specs of iPhone with the Nokia N95, Samsung Blackjack, Blackberry Curve 8300, and Palm Treo 750.

The image shows that the Nokia N95 doesn’t have WiFi but actually it does have WiFi! They say that the source of this information is the respective manufacturer’s websites. But the N95 page on Nokia’s website clearly states the presence of WiFi.

This is not good on Apple’s part to state false information for the sake of promoting their products.

Actually, a deeper iPhone vs N95 comparision reveals some interesting facts. The camera on the N95 is a 5 Megapixel one where as the iPhone’s camera is only 2 Megapixel. N95 has 3G, UMTS and HSPDA which the iPhone doesn’t support.

Then comes the internal GPS receiver on the N95 which the iPhone lacks. N95 also allows users to install a wide range of 3rd party applications and themes which gives the user the power to customize just about everything!

(You should have understood by now, I am a great Nokia fan!)

UPDATE: They seem to have fixed it now. Atleast, Apple is fast enough to correct their mistakes!!
