Apple's iPhone Design Flaw – The Touch-Screen


Achilles heel: iPhone + Cold Weather + Gloves = No Screen Response

Picture the scenario…It’s just starting to snow, you have got to make a phone call, and you pull out your iPhone from your pocket and press the screen with your gloves – No Response! Yes, you will now have to brave the Frostbite in the tips of your fingers, it’s at this point you wished that there was more than one physical button on your expensive iPhone. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some manufacturers) the iPhone has a unique touch-screen, which relies on the skin of a human finger (not the fingernail) in order to function. Most of the people who purchased the iPhone in the summer may soon start to “feel” the shortcomings of the touch-screen “only approach” as winter draws upon us.

This “eggs in one basket” approach when it comes to operating the phone may prove tricky in the cold. Even keyboard based phones from Nokia, Sony Ericsson and the dual screen/keyboard combo from Windows Mobile Smartphone’s like the Treo can operate without direct skin contact, hell you could operate HTCs new Touch Dual with a pair of chop-sticks!

Still, happily SteveO proclaims the iPhone can withstand temperatures of -20 degrees, which is absolutely fine if your fingers can withstand the -20 degrees as well! Will this Achilles heel in the uber designed iPhone prove a stumbling block when Apple tries to move into new markets in the colder climates like Scandinavia and Siberia?

Unconfirmed reports suggest that putting a condom on one finger over the top of your glove may help, since the conductive rubber will allow the electrical current to flow, Durex have declined to confirm the rumours that they are secretly designing an iDom glove for iPhone users in wintry conditions. Ironically the spoof pictures of the "iPhone’s worst accessory" which have been floating around the internet which everybody thought was hilarious – at the time.

Picturing a black rubber finger glove (follow
link here) was not too far from the truth, as that big cheesy smile you’ve got across your face, maybe wiped off when you’re struggling to operate the touch-screen in finger freezing conditions! Rumour has it that apparently Santa Claus (nr North Pole) has had to return his iPhone, as keeping in contact with Mrs Claus in a blizzard was just too painful! For all you Eskimo’s out there, here is a link to some more info on the iPhone’s magical multi touch-screen.
