iPhone 5! WTH?!

What's happening with Apple?

The iPhone 5 event was, to me (hence my blog), a...BUST!

I mean we waited and waited.  Persevered thru rumor after rumor, to get what???
A glorified (larger) iPhone 4S!  Nothing (larger, thinner, faster, EarPods or the new Lightening connector...Well, if you look at it now, I mean, maybe...no...NO!) makes me wanna "Get It Right Now!"

I mean even while I was going through all the live blogs during the event, I kept thinking...where's the "One More thing?" "It's really not an iPhone 5 but maybe an iPhone 4Z or 4S Squared."

So I go to thinking...are all these (above mentioned) things enough to wanna upgrade?  And I keep coming back to..."You know, I think I'll pass on this one also." [I had the 4S for a little while and it wasn't "worthy" enough for me to keep it.  Especially Siri.  I still stick to the point that making a phone mostly based on beta software is a BIG mistake.  And still is.]

So..."No."  "Nope"  "Sorry" "Nah huh!"

I mean, ALL your apps are going to be letter-boxed, till they move them over to the new hardware.

And after Apple posted the keynote online, I watched it and Tim just COULD NOT sell it!  He couldn't.  Schiller couldn't.  Forstall couldn't (I mean talk about "Seen it!"  I hate when they just re-hash old WWDC iOS points).  It just didn't seem sincere or even like they (Tim, at least) was trying.  His voice was low and almost forced.  And don't get me started on Ive.  Man...I watched the iPhone 5 video and kept thinking "You're lying to us aren't you! You cheeky British bastard!  You're lying through your hairy, v-necked shirt!!!  Damn you!!!"

Anywho....

Well, my wife wants one...so maybe I'll change my mind.
