So.
Let’s get this straight.
Apple have just announced their new iPhone with a dual core processor that’s twice as fast as the previous model, graphics that are up to 7x faster, an improved — global (GSM/CDMA) — antenna design, an all new 8MP camera that blows the previous 5MP one out of the water with its new sensor and lens AND it can shoot 1080p/30fps video with image stabilisation, plus a new OS that includes hundreds of features and updates, like in-built twitter integration, a new message system, reminders, better photo/video editing, newsstand and even some of those things that you’ve been moaning about for years (better notifications) plus the iCloud service that backs everything up for you without ever needing to plug it into a computer, not to mention probably the most advanced voice control system ever seen on a mobile phone…
…and yet you’re disappointed because it looks the same as its predecessor, rather than like that new design that the Chinese case factories were suggesting, oh and it isn’t called the iPhone 5.
Boo-fucking-hoo, you spoiled twats.
Grow up.
If Microsoft, Blackberry or any other company had announced these improvements it would be getting endless praise. Then again, if it were Microsoft it would have been called “Windows iPhone 4S Professional Edition for Windows Phone 7 Mobile”, and if it were Blackberry it would still have a physical keypad, thumb wheel and shitty little screen.
Ergo.
Stop complaining.
Hahaha! Watta rant! :D
PS: Is the current version of Fluency works with WordPress 3.3? I’m still skeptical if I’ll update my WP. Haha! :D
Fluency 3.2 is not compatible with WP3.3, far too many changes to the default admin. Details about update here
oh geez. Thanks for the reply dean.. Awww.. too bad for me. I guess I have to disable the plugin if I decided to update to WP 3.3. Or I’ll just be very patient and wait for you to update it. Haha! Thanks dean! :)
:bowdown:
Thank you for this awesome rant. I think that the improvements are vast, and I’m excited about it. Having a lot of fun with iOS5 and all the new bells and whistles using the iCloud is just pimp. Your post made me LOL, so thank you for that.
Rock on.
Well said Dean.
This the reality check that people really need to take.
It strikes that Apple does tend to tap into the addiction of the marketplace by withholding a new phone a few months longer than expectations, building the need for a hit. The 4S will sell well and then the same starved masses will respond similarly when the next iteration, possibly with more than than a shiny new exterior and that will meet the more shallow analysis.
