“What’s All the Hype over the iPhone 5”
Apple created more headline news by releasing the iPhone 5 on September 21, 2012. The iPhone 5 wows customers with its new sleek design, 8 mega pixel “iSight” camera, 4-inch Retina display and its ultra-processor. The iPhone 5 has an A6 chip that Apple says is powerful but not hungry. Apple claims its new product includes speed, durability, and extraordinary convenience for its consumers. Gizmo-Bird.com reported that the IPhone 5 sold 5 million unit sales in just 3 days. Every year or over a period of time its seems like apple reconstructs the iPhone forcing consumers to be in with the new and out with the old. It seems as though you can predict when apple is going to release something new because of their frequent updates and constant new products released on the technology market. I wonder what makes consumers go out and buy the iPhone 5 when it’s extremely similar to the iPhone 4s that was released on October 4, 2011.
Kourtney Parker and several other faithful iPhone users say that the phone is a “must-have” and that they must have it as soon as possible! Kourtney Parker, sophomore legal communications major attending Howard University explains her wants, need, and desire for the iPhone 5. I buzz Parker with the question of “What makes the iPhone 5 so much better than the iPhone 4s you currently have”?
Parker explains that the iPhone 5 is like none other smartphone out there, including her iPhone 4s. The iPhone 5 is “so cute and appealing” she says. All of her research and exposure to the new simple details that the iPhone 5 offers makes her feel like she isn’t in style because there is a new iPhone on the market. Parker reveals that her feelings for the new smartphone go over and beyond even though she hasn’t played with one yet. When she found out the smartphone was going to be released, she’d immediately called home to converse with her parents about obtaining the

    Apple is continually on the cutting edge of technological advances in the cellular phone industry with better innovations to their products. The iPhone 5S® is the most recent technological advancement to the iPhone® with an improved camera, a next-gen CPU and motion tracking chip, and fingerprint sensors. Major drawbacks are that it still has the four inch screen like the original iPhones®, the fingerprint sensor only works with Apple applications at this time, the 64 bit A7 processor and the M7 motion-tracking chips do not have any “killer apps” yet, and the iOS 7 may boggle the minds of longtime iPhone users; the iPhone 5S is by far the fastest and most technologically advanced of the Apple SmartPhones® to date.

    The IPhone 5 is a waste of money but it is so popular, so why does everyone want to have it. I believe that this phone is not as good as everyone has been hyping it up to be. The IPhone 5 sold over 5 million phones three days after its release. In addition, the (IPhone 5 is available right now in the U.S. and 30 other countries and more than 100 countries by the end of the year) Apple reported. The IPhone 5 comes in 3 different models 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and also is available in white, black, or silver. Apple stock reached its sixth highest record in the last seven days from the release date.

I owned an IPhone and I wasn’t that impressed there were something’s I liked but not many for me to spend that much money on it.…

    Just a few weeks ago I went to go buy the IPhone 5. I have the 4s and know all of its features and uses. So, when looking at the IPhone 5 I was able to compare and contract features based on what I have previously learned and know about the older model. I was able to see the new features and additions and compare current features to see how good the upgrades were. Based on learning about my current phone and all the features I was able to pull from that knowledge and apply it new features and enhancement my current knowledge.…

    And yet, I was one of the late adopters. When everyone else was raving about their flip phones (remember them?), I was rationalizing why I should avoid being seduced by the new technology: “I don’t use the phone much anyway.

    Secondly, although it has many good features, it also has some bad aspects regarding colour and battery. The Iphone 5 has two colours black and white. You do not have many choices when you buy it. I bought the white one, but I think it looks monotonous and boring. It also has a problem with its battery. You cannot use it longer than 8 hours without recharging it. Sometimes it does not have enough battery for me to use when I have emergency situations.…
