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.
