So Apple announced the iPhone 5 yesterday, at It's almost here (September 12, 2012) Apple Event. As usual, I did a pseudo live blog for myself. I think I'm resigned to the fact that I'm on the off year upgrade schedule, as I checked and Tracy and I aren't eligible for upgrade pricing until May, and our contract actually runs until October. But more and more I'm thinking we should switch to Verizon. Getting tired of not being able to use things because AT&T won't let us. For example, I'm still waiting on Hot Spot Tethering to my iPad with LTE. Would be much more useful if it could. Would be looking forward to FaceTimeing over cellular with iOS 6 in a week, but that's not going to happen without switching data plans. Also tired of not actually having data service with my iPhone 4S at various times in downtown Chicago. So maybe in a year we'll be switching providers. Or, maybe, in a year, there'll be a better/simpler data provider for mobile devices. Sure would be nice. Anyway, things I like about the iPhone 5? LTE, 802.11n 5GHz. Yeah, that's about it. Panorama and Share Photo Streams I get with iOS 6 next week. New iPod Touches look cool. Not sure what for, since I have an iPhone, but still cool. I do like how Apple had the website up and running with info after the event, not like Amazon's kindle event last week, where after the event I kept seeing old Kindle's and Fire's. Disappointed they didn't name it the new iPhone.
