Is the iPhone 5 Trailing other Offerings?

Thursday Sept 11 2012

Apple released its latest iPhone yesterday. But the race to a larger screen, hey I have five inches yours is only 4.5, wireless re charging, face recognition, have made this a lot tighter race. 

One thing I have learned about the computer industry. When they really have nothing else to offer in terms of  an upgrade, they change the cabling system. Then your cable won't attach to the newer computer and to the printer, or whatever. and sure enough, Apple has a new cable for iPhone  5. 

I'm staying with iPhone 3. 

Surprise, Apple did not release a smaller iPad.

    I don’t plan to buy a iphone 5. I think that is for the younger generation. I have the iphone 3s and I love it. Over 2 years at this time.

    i do not know why i never decided to spend five hundred bucks on a cell phone that does everything a computer does. maybe because i already have a computer…I finally ended up wit a free android phone from cricket…but i swear before this phone my battery would last three days…and that’s using the phone as freely as needed…I cant believe the way the new phones are in always need of charging….maybe because users are to bust updating their status to face book…the thing is this new iphone is the fifth one and since the plugs changed so will everything else that goes to it…same with the ipod…never got one…burned cds and mp3s works for me…my pioneer deck has a usb plug so that works out for my music needs. why spend all your money just to have the new item…It would be nice but next year there will be something else that everyone will be blowing their hard eared cash on..

    I have never purchased or have owned an Iphone before. But from what I have been told from any Iphone buyers is that they have to pay for certain applications. Hardly anything is free. For example you have to pay to listen to music, you have to download iTunes in order to have music available. It just ain’t worth paying almost $700 then paying additional charges for applications.i will admit i have thought about getting an Iphone but i would rather buy an Android phone for messaging, internet, free cool apps, and buy an Ipod for all my music.

    I have an iphone 4S, I love it! It is the 3rd one I have owned and I would rather not use any other kind of phone! It syncs to everything I have.. There are many apps that cost, but there are so many that are free, including music, you just have to find the right app that works for you and believe me there are enough of them out there. I think it’s great that iphones are available to other phone services other than just AT&T now. It gives apple a huge advantage in the market.
