Why buy an iPhone 5? Another reason

iPhone 5

SO just in case you need another reason to buy the iPhone 5...  I will answer you with two syllables.  I say syllables because I don't know if it's one word or two!  Ha ha!  Are you ready? 4-G!  That's right, it's not on the phone.  It's the capability to log into one of the 4-G networks that are quickly creeping up.  Verizon looks like a player in this field as they frantically expand their network capacity and capability.  Don't be surprised now that the basic monopoly is broken to see many carriers jumping in to compete near and especially before the  release date of the iPhone 5.

Tmobile, for example has a 4-G network, as does Sprint.  So as more and more people line up to buy the iPhone 5, it only makes sense that every company will want a piece of the pie that is bringing in money to the wireless companies every month because people want to use their iPhone 5 to the max!  So look for a few more announcements like the Verizon one recently as we get nearer to the release date of the iPhone 5.

So beyond the amazing capabilities that we can only imagine the iPhone 5 is going to have (Look for a post in the not-to-distant future about some of this...), it should have a network backing it up that is first-rate and state of the art.  Also look for AT&T to cry big tears because their ability to bring customers who didn't want to have to unlock and jailbreak their iPhones to get them to work can now go other places without that barrier to entry.  That, in fact, is already starting.  What new changes and dynamic will the iPhone 5 bring with it?  The discussions are already heating up on these topics.  Will the release of the iPhone 5 bring out more gadget freaks and geeks than the previous releases?  I think that it definitely will but the answer remains to be seen and so any kind of "answers" to these questions are pure speculation and conjecture at this point.

What is almost certain, however, is that the new phone will be set up to make the most of the 4-G Networks and this may make iPhone 5 even hotter than the previous versions.  As the 4-G networks increase and availability reaches all locations, it is likely that more people than ever will be lining up to buy an iPhone 5.

The iPhone 5 Release Date

iPhone 5 release dates...

So of course the matter of the iPhone being released will be speculated upon until there is any concrete information out there.  There already is a lot of this. Release date of the iPhone 5 will most certainly be one of our obsessions here too and will be relayed as soon as possible. Don't worry!

Are there any tell-tale signs?  That depends on your definition of tell-tale.  There are some recent interesting occurrences that do point to the release date being later rather than earlier.  One of these is the fact that Verizon is now carrying them.  "Why would that have any effect on it?" you might ask.  In some ways it doesn't.  The actual fact that Verizon carries iPhones doesn't effect the process.  But the way that this is happening tends to point to the fact that the release of the iPhone 5 is not on the immediate horizon.  If it were, it seems to make sense that Apple and Verizon would have waited a bit to integrate the new technology into the premier of this marriage of service and hardware.

Other good clues in the mystery surrounding the Apple iPhone 5 include the recent announcement of the release of Beta 4.3 from Apple.  This is rumored to be happening in the next couple of months.  Now of course they could be late.  But you see the point:  If they were going to release iPhone 5 in February or even March (and probably April), the release of Beta 4.3 would not even be a blip on the radar screen in comparison.

The other question which only Apple can answer (and may or may not currently know) is how much time is too little time to release the iPhone 5, considering that technology jump won't be significant enough to keep the "wow" factor is the release of iPhone 5 is too close to iPhone 4!  The fact is that customers have come to expect a significant jump in capability between the numbers after the prefix.  It will take a reasonable amount of time to make this happen, even by the incredibly talented people at Apple.  A premature release will set them back and could be catastrophic for the whole franchise, because there will have to be a rush to put out another phone that satisfies and that rush could cause another premature launch with underwhelming results and then the whole thing has down-hill momentum.  So no-one should underestimate the importance of the release date of <a href="http://buyiphone5.blogspot.com/">iPhone 5</a>.

Another fact is that smartphones in the competition are only getting better and better with competitors like Google in the pond.  Android phones are coming out from several companies and the system will inevitably get more and more user friendly (remember it's soccer moms and teens that are going to bring market-share!).   This only ups the stakes for this next release.  Maybe you are thinking "Yeah yeah!  This has been true for every other iPhone release as well!"  You are correct, but is a screw-up in the preseason, mid-season, playoffs, or the championship most crucial?  IPhone is not pre-season and I don't want to kill you with the analogy, so I'll stop there...  When is the championship?  I don't know, but if iPhone 5 doesn't make the cut, the answer may be never.

Reasons to Buy an iPhone5

You may or may not be asking yourself  "Why should I buy an iPhone 5 anyway?"

It kind of depends on your personality, your love for electronics, toys and gadgets and the need to have the latest piece of technology.  If you just have to have the best new smart phone or latest most high-tech gadget, I probably don't have to convince you that you need an iPhone 5.  But if you fall into the category of person who really needs to justify the buy of an expensive piece of electronic technology, you are probably wanting to know some of the features that are rumored (Apple: "WE CANNOT CONFIRM OR DENY") to be in the iPhone 5   I think you'll be excited, no matter how techie inclined you might be, to hear some of the interesting features, but especially the essential and useful features that will contribute to the iPhone 5's success.  Let's face it, the thing that has broken this smart phone into the big leagues is that everybody loves it and can use it from stay-at-home spouses to teens to high level businesspeople.  If iPhone 5 doesn't have that simple user-friendly aura, all the high-tech wizardry will be for naught!

So... Let's get right down to some of the features-- ahem, rumored features of the iPhone 5.  For starters, it has advance graphic chips and dual core processors for improved resolutions of images and videos.  This has always been a question:  can the technology keep up with all the applications that are being run.  It's rumored that iPhone 5 will have enough technology under the hood to keep all the processes running and keep several applications going at once.  It is RUMORED to have an integrated GPS navigation feature, which will appeal to those of us who don't have room in our pockets or on the dashboard for one more tech gadget!  Will it work as well as it needs to or will we have to stick with the old Garmin or Tomtom?  That remains to be seen and will probably depend on personal preferences.

Finally, at least for now, a feature we can look forward to on the new iPhone 5 is (drumroll please)... HD Audio Quality!  This is something many of the previous iPhone's owners have seen a need for, especially when the movie is (from iTunes, of course!!) on the phone and it's hooked up to the expensive TV and audio system (home theater set-up, right?) and the sound... just doesn't deliver.  Come on, it's an iPhone, not a blue-ray right?  Well apparently, we don't have to take that anymore!  Apple has heard the groans of movie-stay-at-home-or-office-watchers everywhere and we should see HD capability on the iPhone 5.

How do I buy an iPhone 5 is going to be the question of the year!

iPhone 5

So we all know that iPhone has been the rage for the past few years and that iPhone 5 will be no exception and everyone will be wanting to know where they can get their iPhone 5, right?  When the iPhone 4 came out, I remember one guy at a local radio station sent his intern down to the store to wait in line with a t-shirt on telling the world that he was saving a place in line for the famous radio-guy to come down when his morning shift was over and wait in line for an iPhone!  It was really crazy in some places with the nerd herds sleeping in front of the doors to get their new gadget, the NEW iPhone!

So this time around with the iPhone 5 I'm sure it's going to be crazy again aren't you?  I mean, they keep getting better.  Even the little glitch with the reception of the 4 being fixed with a little plastic thingy that kept your fingers off the metal and improved the performance was a coup for Apple.  They won't have to beat out the Android competition to go totally viral again and have their factory workers working their fingers to the bone pressing the "make more iPhone 5" buttons like crazy.  Plus, if they open it up to more carriers, there will be no stopping them!

Beyond that, there are several new features that are going to make this gadget the one to have.  With a lot more capacity (I think 64 GB is the rumor?) and extra touches and the new design.  It won't be a miracle that this one outsells all the other models of iPhone that we've seen.

So you want to keep up on the information and know where to get the best deals on iPhone 5 is.  You want to buy an iPhone 5 at just the right time and you want to be in the know about the latest up to the minute details on the iPhone 5 and what is just hype and what's the real-deal.  Who doesn't?

Well, stay tuned, because it's coming and when the iPhone 5 arrives, it's going to be another wild ride to find out where to buy them, how to get the best deal, who is offering them etc.
