“iPhone 5 – Is it Worth the Money?”

The buzz about the new iPhone 5 has become one of the most
popular topics to talk about since its release.
In this article, Worley shares with us exactly what new features the new
iPhone has. There have been many
speculations about what the new iPhone will look like and what the newest
features will be and finally the rumors can be put to rest. On September 14th people were able
to preorder the new iPhone 5 and on September 21st the much talked
about iPhone will finally be in stores. Worley
gives viewers the ability to make an informed decision on whether the new iPhone
will, in the end, be worth the high costs.
She gives us details about, first, the bigger screen and how it will
allow HD video and game designers to take advantage of the upgrade. Second, the
faster processor that has been installed in the new iPhone which will allow for
faster downloads and smoother running. Third, the new camera has gotten smaller
but will be able to shoot better in low light as well as shoot panoramic shots. Fourth, the LTE data will increase download
and web browsing speeds without draining the battery. The new battery is said to have 8 hours of talk
time, 225 hours of stand-by, and 8 hours of LTE web browsing. Worley also
mentions the new operating system, the smaller dock connection, and the
pricing.
In the end Worley gives her opinion about whether or not the
iPhone 5 is worth the money. I agree with her that if you have an iPhone 4s
there is absolutely no need to get the iPhone 5 unless you just want to have
the newest of the new and spend money; otherwise, there are only a few upgrades
from the iPhone 4s. For me, I have the iPhone
3 which in some people’s eyes is ancient history; however, the only thing I don’t
like about my phone is that the camera has no flash. So in order for me to get the iPhone 5 I would
have to absolutely love the quality to pay a minimum of $200. Most of the upgrades will benefit iPhone
users but I believe the main reason people have and will rush to buy the new
phone is simply the fact that there has become this want (which some people now
think is a need) to have the newest technology even if you don’t necessarily need
it.
