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 iPhones are outdated.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. |
