I Got My iPhone 5!


Just this past Friday 9/21/12 was the release of the iPhone 5 and I woke up around 6am and got ready to wait in line at the Apple Store. I didn’t want to wait by myself so I had my cousin wait in line with me even though she did not get one herself. The doors at the Apple Store opens at 8am and we got there a little before 7 so we had an hour wait. I didn’t think we needed to get there that early because well, let’s face it I’m in Des Moines, IA and we’re not into all hype or the latest thing. We’re always a year behind until a fad or music gets to us anyway. 

It was like any release day of Apple products, they had workers there offering coffee, water, and cookies and made small chat with us. You may call me a fanboy or whatever but I swear I always get great customer service with Apple. They had a worker go through the line and giving us a card of the iPhone and carrier you’re getting so when you get one of those you’re sure to have one. Once the door opens the line went pretty smoothly with everyone’s purchase of the iPhone, it was such an exciting day for all of us.

I think the Apple worker that helped me was named, David but I made it pretty easy for him. I knew what I wanted and know how to go through all activation and iCloud so he kind of sat back and just charged my card. I really enjoy my purchase, the phone is really thin and light. I’m in love!

Waiting on iPhone 5


You know what I’m excited for this mid September, it’s all about the iPhone 5. It’s 9/9 right now and this week on Wednesday, Apple will be officially announce news and features of the latest iPhone. You can call me an Apple fanboy but I’ve had every iPhone that has been released from the first gen, 3g, 3gs, 4, and now the 4s.

So what I’m hearing before the news is obviously having support of 4g LTE and a bigger screen. Which hopefully they pull in some great internal stuff because I’ve been beta testing iOS 6 and have not been really impressed with the updates. Pictures and rumors also saying that they’ll be getting a whole new port as well. For me it’s kind of a bad thing since I have so many apple chargers and USB cords that I’ll now have to update all of my stuff to support the new phone.

Either way we’ll all know what’s up on Wednesday September 12. Hopefully there’s some surprise updates and not everything that I’m reading. Please give me a “one more thing.”
