Now Presenting... THE iPhone 5

The newest iPhone has been released, and the demand for it has proven to be pretty successful so far.  The larger, better quality screen, the thinner size, and the five lines for applications have people lining up in rain or shine to get their hands this new phone.  I am not one of those people.  I don't need or want the top of the line electronics.  I mean, what's the point?  In another few months, something better will come out, and I'll be wasting another few hundred dollars on "the next big thing."  The quality of a phone, is perhaps, a lot more important to me.  Quality and of course, buying a phone that won't break the bank.  If I chose to keep up with the latest phones, then I'd be purchasing a phone, probably very couple of months.  By choosing a phone that I actually like, it will probably save me tons of money, and keep me away from tons of problems.  If the quality of the phone I have is good enough, I don't need a new one.  I like to think of buying electronics this way; if it still works, I don't need a new one.  It's cheaper and easier to live that way, then to stay on top of the newest technology.

That being said, I have nothing against Apple and the iPhone at all.  I'm just cheap.  I think Apple is being smart.  Since Steve Jobs past away, I think the idea of using his previous ideas and plans will keep them in business for the future.  They have spaced out the unveiling of the newer iPhone so they can make more money.  So clever.  By placing a break  between releases, people can buy, use and possibly break, their iPhone 5 in time for them to be fed up, and ready to spend more to get the iPhone 6.  However, depending on how many plans Steve Jobs created before his death, the ideas may be a little outdated by the time of release.  In the business of technology, electronics are constantly changing, and if Apple waits too long, people might not like what the iPhone 6 has to offer, and might purchase other products such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 (who knows, by then it might be S4!).  The demand for phones is a changing market, and the planned iPhone 6 might become too outdated before it is even available for consumers.  Apple's bank of material being released over time doesn't bother me, but it makes me respect Apple even more.  It just goes to show, that if you want to be on top, you have to plan ahead - and create the next best thing.  Apple is smart, spacing out the release dates, that satisfies consumers, and promotes business. Go for it Apple!  I think it's GENIUS!


The iPhone 4 has suddenly become OLD news!
Apple has probably created the most innovative and unique products known to man.  From the laptops to iPods to iPhones, Apple has truly outdone themselves.  And can you imagine that there is MORE to come?  In the next few years, a whole new line up of products will come and go, and it will be better than the last.  The iPhone will probably become smaller, and thinner than it is now.  It could even include different features that make it extremely unique.  It might change to be a phone that doesn't seem like a phone anymore. It could have a keyboard, or a projector, or wireless earphones, or it could charge by itself.  But all I know, is that whatever Apple decides to come up with in the next few years, it will change technology as we know it, and it will be superior as always.  My expectations, or "must-haves" for the iPhone might be a keyboard.  I might be speaking for myself, but I hate touch screen keyboards.  I always hit the wrong letters, then Auto-Correct changes it to something completely random, and I have to type it again, but slower.  I would also like to see the iPhone thinner.  I hate how fat phones tend to be, and I would love to see the iPhone become as thin as the iPod Touch one day.  As for applications, or functions, I'd like it if an iPhone would control my television, or radio or lights.  Maybe it could be like a universal remote, so I wouldn't have to get up or search for the missing remote control!  I think everyone would agree, that would be amazing! Is that too much to ask for from Apple? Hey, Apple's a miracle worker, and if anyone can do it, it's most likely them!  Good Luck Apple, and I'm excited for the future ... only because of you.
