“The biggest thing to
happen since the iPhone.”
No
other devices have quite the name and status as Apple’s “i” range. The iPhone has
revolutionized the technology of smartphones and the way the world sees them.
The iPhone is the smartphone; there is no doubt about it. Those who have
it, love it and those who do not, want it.
The
iPhone 5 has an all new design. It doesn’t seem possible but Apple has managed
to cram more into the phone than before. There is a larger display, a faster
chip, ultra fast wireless technology, and an 8 megapixel iSight camera yet the
phone is still as light and thin as ever. The 4-inch retina display lets you
see more of everything and everything that you do see is vivid and almost
better than real-life. Although the display is bigger, the size of the iPhone 5
is the same as the iPhone 4S. It’s pretty darn amazing when you think about the
cutting-edge technology packed into such a little device.
The
iPhone 5 is the sixth generation of the iPhone and was launched on September
12, 2012. After Apple started taking pre-orders on September 14, 2012, over 2
million were ordered within 24 hours without the phone even being seen by the
majority of people ordering them. This is proof that Apple’s brand supersedes
itself and has met the expectations of their supporters and users.
Having managed to secure an iPhone 5 here in SA, a day after launch - i can confirm that there a minor changes that benefit us here in South Africa - however any die-hard apple fan will still want the newest version of their favourite device.
The iStore at Gateway apparently has stock if i am to believe the emails they keep sending me.

Great work,
ReplyDeleteNo other phone can be compared with Apple iPhone. It is an unbeatable combination of innovation and unique design .
Hello Lee,
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in getting the new iPhone 5.
Could you tell how long the battery lasts on your phone?
Does the new iPhone 5 make it through a full day with moderate usage?
I look forward to your response.
Regards.
Hi there;
ReplyDeleteIt will last you the day with moderate usage.
Like past iphone products - you just need to turn off unnecessary applications.
Hello Lee,
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding to my questions.
I definitely want an iPhone 5 :-)
Cheers!
