Looks like Apple didn’t have to release an iPhone 5 at all
Maybe if Apple had spent less time mapping people’s ears for their new Earpods and more time doing marketing research, they would have realized they really didn’t need to update the iPhone 4S at all, they just needed to rename it.
I think I’ll just paint a 5 on my 3GS and keep using it for another year.
I went to two Verizon stores last week to checkout the S3 so I wouldn’t be biased to the IPhone 5. Both store sales guys told me the iPhone would be better for me. Mainly cause S Voice isn’t as good as Siri. Also, the cost of fixing an S3 screen is 3x the cost of fixing a n iPhone 5 screen.
I was quite impressed with the S3 though. The screen size is really the standout feature. However the design feels like a flattened iPhone 3G, with its plastic back. The plastic moved around a little too because it can be removed to access the battery. Also I don’t get android. I wanted to see what it was like to find and launch apps and there’s so many gestures to do things on the phone that all I wind up doing is swiping around trying to figure out how to get back to where I want. Lots of accidental presses on the buttons next to the home button that I still don’t know what they did. It would take some learning for me to use that phone.
If the iPhone 5 doesnt blow me away when I hold it, I just might switch to the S3. Then again, I would probably buy the 4S over the S3 too.
Whoah this posted in a totally different story! (was supposed to be the Samsung ad)
