Apple reports to FCC that Google changes its iPhone deals again. Though Apple had denied their earlier about their ideas on Google Voice addition for iPhones. However this software for iPhones has been raising its concern among user experiences. Apple Vice President, Catherine Novelli, has written in a response about Google software altering the iPhone’s unique experience being provided to the users.

Novelli has also said the Apple has spent a great deal of time developing this individualistic mark coming with their iPhones which they do not want to destroy. They are about to deliver seamless core experience to their users of iPhones. Novelli’s comments were aimed to the Federal Communications Commission. Google’s enhanced voice and messaging services with integration of important contacts seemed to have come with a lot of additional help.

However the software replaced Apple’s Visual Voicemail in the process, creating trouble between the two companies with their respective applications. The Google Voice Application replaced Apple’s original content creating a bone of contention between the two’s regulations.

Google’s application also replaces iPhone’s very own text featuring system and recreates the messaging route through Google’s own hub. These disabling effects from Google leave with no other option than opting out their services for Apple.

Something ahead of I-Phones Needed in Japan

Tokyo’s Softbank flagship store received truckloads of I Phones a year ago. This store was welcomed by customers with great gung ho. People have always come here and appreciated their purchase of I Phones throughout last year. However when you look at the current year the arrival of boxes of iPhone 3GS handsets then you will only find a single person on the waiting and just a solo reporter covering this totally uneventful launch.

The boxes were soon unloaded as the store opened the doors to welcome and store then. The launch was nothing of a deal as nobody seemed to be interested in iPhones in Japan anymore. There was no official queue or rating and even the organizers who were supposed to host the launch did not turn up.

This apparent disinterested and cooling off of interest towards iPhones have been an issue in Japan. Apple and Softbank have to work very hard to draw people’s interest. They however do not get any buzz as compared to the huge uproar received last year. Just under one year the iPhones seem to have gone out of any luck of business in Japan.

The previous year only people had boundless enthusiasm for the latest iPhones but now the case is just opposite. There happens to be no sales at all!
