IPhone 5

So Iphone 5 was realeased today and to be honest..I'm not that impressed.

I think that Apple is going down hill since the death of Steve Jobs. With the "new" IPad having new displays and faster stuff going on inside of it there wasnt much goin' on. And now the IPhone 5 with its "new" retina display, a more powerful procceser (if one could call it that in a phone), faster wireless, and another row for apps on the home screen.

Lets look at all of these features that are the appeal of the new phone. Retina display. I see very little difference when i look at the new ipad compared to the first gen ipad (which i have) i see very little to no difference. the colours might be a little brighter if you look for it but overall the experience is very much the same. Okay i must admit that the faster wireless was a draw for me to consider this phone at first. But i thought about it and my 4s' wireless speeds are pretty damn good. so to say the truth its not worth it for a minimum of 700 (in Canada). The Processer is also cool but again my iPhone is fast enough. Another thing is they COMPLETELY redid the power cords so you have to buy an adaptor or new docs or a new cord. A stupid marketing ploy in my mind to try to get us to spend more money. But in all seriousness, people will buy it.

Now here is the part where i rant about fixing something that wasnt broken. The new fifth row. IT IS NOT THAT COOL!!!!! seriously. I was perfectly happy with my four rows of apps. PLUS! it makes the phone that much taller and my iPhone barely fits in my pockets right now. so that right there is a clear deal breaker. If im going to have a phone it better fit in my pocket.

                                                                         The other "neat" thing apple is doing is redoing the head phones and they kind of look like the Portal robot. and if they fit anthing like their previous headphones i dont want them.

Before iPhone 5 came out i was thinking about waiting to get it. Now i am glad i got the iPhone 4s. They are basically the same phone and atleast my connector cable is the same for all my apple devices still.
