*24 Jan 2015* <div class="posthaven-post-body"> Running the risk of spoiling some things, i think i'll start with some of my favorite quotes from the live event :) Gizmodo on Jony Ive's video: "It's like saying you've been completely redesigned when you come back to eight grade two inches taller." "He's talking about the phone has been "completely redesigned," which is a very loose definition of either "completely" or "redesigned"." Engadget on the earpods: "Showing the old earbuds now, over 600 million have been shipped already to ruin 1200 million ears." Gizmodo on Siri: "I'm looking forward to the 2024 iPhone event when Siri's finally sentient." - And now the juice... iPhone 5 Official name Entirely in glass and aluminum (looks like the leaks) Thinnest phone apple has made (7.6mm) 18% thinner than 4S Weighs 112 grams 1/5 lighter Retina display 326 PPI 4 inch display 1136x640 (16:9 aspect ratio) 1 more row of icons on start screen Letter boxing for old apps 44% more color saturation.

Basically specs bumps and not a lot more. I fail to see, this time, why this warranted the spectacle of an Apple event. Maybe Apple is becoming just another company, which is a shame. </div> [[tags/apple|apple]] [[tags/iphone|iphone]] [[tags/ipod|ipod]] [[tags/mac|mac]] [[tags/touch|touch]] [[tags/video|video]]
