Waiting for an iPhone 5
I wrote back in mid September about the new iPhone 5 and how I was looking forward to buying the new model. I do not buy every new model, so I am actually 2 models back (I am using an iPhone 4) which is starting to really have a problem holding a charge. I need to always have a mid-day charge if I want my phone to last throughout the day.
I thought by now, well over a month after the release of the iPhone 5 that I could purchase one with no problem. Wow, I was wrong. According to the Apple online-store site it is about a month for the phone to arrive via order. Same goes if I head to the local AT&T store. Best Buy is still filling pre-orders from September. The only retail location I did not look into was an actual Apple store but it is safe to say the wait is similar there as well.
I refused to "camp out" for a phone. I find that to be crazy; as a matter of fact Apple rival Samsung did a great job poking fun at Apple "Campers" with this commercial that was released back a few weeks ago:
Well, it looks like I will just order from the Apple site and wait for a month. I keep going back and forth if I need the 32g or 64g. My current 32g is nearly full, and with more and more movie purchases being made with digital copies I may need the extra space. Plus I love shooting video and pictures with my phone.
Are there any iPhone 5 owners out there? How do you like the new phone? Did you like the Samsung commercial? Sorry if it offended, I am an Apple guy and I find them amusing.
