Apple announced two "new" iPhones this week, the 5s and the 5c.

The 5s has a 64-bit processor, an improved camera, and a
security turn
on switch that reads your fingerprint. Not enough, probably, for
most
owners of the *5* to upgrade. The other new phone is the 5c, which
basically is the current model 5 in a less expensive case.

The latest upgrade to the operating system, IOS 7, gets released
to the
public next week. It has a slew of upgrades and improvements, some
major, some minor, and it is to be distributed for free. In
fact, it
already is available widely as a "bootlegged" general release. I
like
the new Control Center and a few more features. Some parts of it
look a
lot different, and will take some getting used to...

iPhones are outdated. Android passed them awhile back and they are
trying to play catch-up.


That's just silly.

How so?



I have a colleague who recently got a Samsung S something or other...3?
4? Whatever, it's a brand new model. So I got to play with it for about
15 minutes. I didn't notice any significant features that were "better"
than any of the ones I use on my iPhone. The apps were a little
different, but they basically did the same thing. The screen was
bigger,
and the spec sheet said the camera had more megapixels, neither of
which
make much difference to me, since I rarely use my smartphone camera.
The
phone seemed "too tall" for me. I assume Samsung is a leading Android
phone maker.

I'm aware of many of those differences. Very few have any significance
or importance for me. As I stated, I tried out a new Samsung. Nice
phone, but nothing to make me consider switching.

It's not all about Harry Krause, the IRS deadbeat.
