iPhone 5

So the iPhone 5 is out. In case you're wondering, it's got everything people asked for (complained about). So, that means bigger screen (taller, not wider), smaller charge port, Panorama camera option, 4G, A6 chip, thinner, lighter, faster, and a new design. A very similar yet also different one. Let me explain; now, when you order it, your color options are white/silver and black/slate. The silver/slate is a brushed aluminum section on the back. The top (around the camera), and the bottom, with Designed by Apple in California etc. etc., are still shiny glass. The edging is slightly different, and the headphones jack is on the bottom. And (and this is the most shocking part) it's cheaper. Now, the base 16 gigabyte model is $200. The 4S is $100, and the 4 is free with plan. The 3GS is no longer sold.

Bye guys.

Here's a pic of the white/silver model.

iPhone 5 and iOS 6 (?)

It's September now, and for most of us that means back to school. I'm only able to bring myself to write that because it started 3 days ago so I'm resigned to it. But September is also a big month for Apple, with the next iPhone and iOS due to release sometime this month.
-iPhone
The new iPhone, presumably called the iPhone 5(or maybe the 4S and 3/4), is very controversial as per usual. Most people have the usual complaints about screen size, but I doubt that will change. Personally, I would like a new design, maybe along the lines of the Magic Mouse, but other than that I'm fine with the iPhone. The camera can't really be improved, the 4S already has a Retina display, I don't really know what else Apple could add. But I'm sure they'll bring in a load of new stuff.
-iOS
The new mobile OS, called iOS 6, is much more well known. Apple has a page set up with previews of the new operating system. It includes: Facebook integration, new Maps(designed by Apple), Siri (which for some reason will only be available on the iPhone 4S and the new iPad), Passbook (coupons, passports, and such), and more stuff I'm too lazy to find. If you want more info, go toApple.com/iOS/iOS6.

That's all I know for now. Bye.
