Það kostar víst þúsundkall að framleiða hann...

Það merkilega við þetta tæki er að þrælar í kína framleiða það fyrir um þúsund íslenskar krónur stykkið, 8USD en á einhvern undraverðan hátt er hægt að sannfæra fólk um að borga margfalda þá upphæð fyrir tækið. Jafnvel þó svo að erfitt sé að greina hvernig það er betra en þeir símar sem fólk er nú þegar með í vasanum. Sumir vilja halda því fra að þetta verði allsherjar flopp:

"So the iPhone 5 is slightly thinner and larger, but here are 20 reasons not to buy one:

1. The connector is different for charging and communications. Apple can’t come up with anything compelling in new products so they will shamelessly push you into buying all new iPod and iPad and related products with new connectors.
2. The adapter cables to connect old and new cabling with be $40 and won’t really work well.
3. Remember the antenna problems of the last model. You better get ready to practice your Vulcan live long and prosper exercises while you use your new iPhone 5.
4. How about the battery life? Bigger processor and more screen, there’s no way there will be another weak battery life problem.
5. Bet you’re going to have screen tint issues just like the iPhone 4.
6. It’s likely the slimmer and bigger screen will even easier to break when bumped or dropped.
7. Don’t even think about getting near liquid of any kind. Moisture sensors are still by the connector ports so you’re moisture from the car drink tray will still invalidate the warranty even though your iPhone 5 didn’t get wet.
8. What’s that Siri? You’re still in beta, don’t understand women or thick accents, and pretty much still can’t get it right? That’s what I figured.
9. Will that infamously slow camera shutter keep you from capturing that important moment?
10. That tin sound on a loud-speaker probably won’t change how you play music.
11. Auto-correct is still terrible and the dictionary will continue refuse to learn new words.
12. Get ready for another batch of really cheesy stock ring tones.
13. Mail will still likely get archived instead of deleted.
14. You won’t be able to reliably and effectively schedule meetings or know that you have all of your corporate mail for Exchange, because Apple insists on using their buggy ActiveSync from 2007.
15. Google is a hated competitor so Google Maps will purposefully remain inaccurate and not close to your destination.
16. Most of those billions of paid apps are still horrifically bad
17. Your iPhone 5 will still operate slowly, especially when compared to Android or Windows Phone.
18. iTunes randomly wipes all your data like before when you try to do an update.
19. iCloud sync will reliably remove all of your Outlook contacts.
20. iPhone 6 will be out next year and have the 5 things Apple already had developed and know people wan,t but of course aren’t features of iPhone 5."

Getur enhver sagt mér af hverju ég á að kaupa þennan síma þegar ég er þegar kominn með góðan snjallsíma?

 

Hvað er svona merkilegt við iPhone 5?
