iPhone 5, Apple's latest smartphone was announced on Wednesday (12/9). Fans of Apple products who live in America can pre-order on Friday (14/9) at local time. The question is, if you have an iPhone if you should buy the new iPhone?
Here list iPhone 5 weakness or disadvantages might be a consideration before buying this new iPhone:
1. Apple iOS 6 is same as on an earlier version of iPhone
Many stunning features discussed by Apple as turn-by-turn navigation, 3-D map, ticket system Passbook and gift cards, sports-score-spouting Siri-can be obtained through a free iOS upgrade for anyone who have an iPhone 4S.
And almost all of the features available to anyone with an iPhone, iPad or iPod models before the iPhone 5. Because the upgrade will take effect on 19 September, as reported by nbcnews.com we can take advantage of this to wait and see what happens.
So, if you're happy with iOS 6 in the old iPhone you have, you may not need to buy a new one.
2. The camera feature is not a big improvement
Picture and photos will look better on the iPhone 5, and you can take photos with the panoramic format is clever and get the better images in low-light environments. But in the new smartphone's camera does not develop but remain the same radical with an 8 megapixel camera that is in the previous year. Do not expect a big difference.
3. Design is not iconic
3. Design is not iconic
The design of iPhone 5 looks attractive to most fans of the iPhone, but the actual design of this new smartphone does not look so different from the previous versions. Just slightly longer than the previous version.
4. Lack of 4G LTE coverage
Even in the U.S., not all mobile operators and regions to support 4G LTE technologyis a new type of Internet connection that is claimed faster than 3G (up to 100 Mbps). But theiPhone is currently believed to have fast enough for browsing needs, even without LTE.
5. SIM Card Slot
iPhone 5 doesn't have SIM Card Slot. Apple is working with SIM manufacturer Gemalto to create a unique SIM card, it allows people to buy the iPhone directly from Apple and choose a carrier via the App Store.
6. Connector
6. Connector
iPhone 5 features built-in wireless syncing capabilities, inductive charging a la Palm Pre. But it doesn't include 30-pin connector.
7. Headphone Jack
iPhone 5 doesn't have headphone jack, without headphone jack would suck since none of my vehicles have any kind of Bluetooth capabilities and won't in the near future.
8. Cleverness Slide
8. Cleverness Slide
iPhone 5 unlikely to let this cleverness slide, it would risk looking too much like every generic plastic Android phone out there
