Popularity of iPhone will increase, says expert

14 July 2008

The iPhone from Apple is likely to continue to grow in popularity with consumers, one expert has said. As the pricing of the product is improving, the iPhone could become more "universal", co-presenter of The Gadget Show Jon Bentley stated. He suggested that the product has "started a revolution" in the mobile phone sector. "It has things going on in the background like widgets to tell you what the weather is going to be like and stuff like that. I can see that really starting to catch on, especially now they have made the pricing better," he remarked. Apple launched the 3G version of the iPhone on Friday, which includes GPS technology and 2.0 software supported by Microsoft. The only stockist of the iPhone, O2, has limited supplies of the original iPhone in shops and has sold out of the product online.
