iPhone 5 you sexy skinny bitch!
After the special Apple event yesterday, the facts are all laid out there, the iPhone 5 is officially announced and looks pretty much what you'd expect. Featuring a much thinner design, it just looks so damn sexy I want it bad (thank goodness that reselling my previous iPhone 4S is yielding a pretty strong value). A quick run down, a few key features that matter most to me are:
- The bigger/crisper screen: now boasting a 4" retina display, even from photos it looks much larger. I look forward to seeing how this will affect the app environment and what these app developers will do with that extra 1/2 inch of real estate. Also they mentioned that colors will be getting a boost and color saturation will improve by 44%. A true 16:9 aspect ratio will make watchings movies on the device look and feel much better.
- LTE/802.11n: First off, I sure as hell hope that AT&T won't try to screw me out of my unlimited data plan just to get LTE. But I am pretty psyched to have faster mobile data, on top of that, faster wifi connection is so very welcome, I have a 5ghz wi fi connection and home and it would be nice to take advantage of it.
- Improved camera/HD FaceTime cam: Okay, just to make it clear, I dig the HD facetime cam so my camwhoring moments can look better... so I'm a little shallow... BAH! But the improved rear camera with a panorama application built right in (Sorry Photosynth) sounds like it'd be alot of fun to play with.
While I can't really lay it all out there until I get this sexy little phone in my hands... look forward to a post (and a new segment of the site) featuring an official review and un-boxing.
