In the first two weeks, my iPhone has behaved quite well. Although a few apps have occasionally misbehaved, there was nothing that a simple press of the home button couldn’t rectify.

I unsuspectingly put the iPhone processor to the test when I turned it on yesterday while I was listening to some music using the iPod function of the phone. An alert appeared that said there were updates for nine of the applications that I had downloaded. The iPhone gave me the option of updating all nine with one press of the finger. So I did. Quite soon after the download started the music started to hiccup and although the downloads proceeded properly, I could not access the iPod functions to stop it or lower the volume. Thankfully, after a few minutes, the music turned off and the download continued. Since the update of each application took about two minutes, the entire process took almost 20 minutes.

During this time, I received a phone call which was able to connect perfectly. Kudos to Apple for making the phone part of the iPhone the most important. If the glitches that I encounter with the iPhone remain this small, I’ll be one happy camper.
