| There should be a picture of an iPhone 5 here. Or maybe even the mind bending EarPods. But I went with this one because I felt like it. |
The newest iPhone hath landed and I've been following all the brouhaha over on Engadget. Alongside announcing the iPhone 5, Apple also bragged about how effortlessly they separate you from your money, while throwing a bone to the broke. Far from finished, Apple outed the new, tiny iPod Nano, and the 5th generation iPod Touch. Other thrills included the newly redesigned iTunes, and some..ear buds which have been renamed EarPods, to reflect a pretentious attitude.
Marja has informed me that she is buying an iPhone 5 so she can submit photos to Hot Girls With iPhones. Although I'm not terribly impressed thanks to the article detailing the differences between the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 on Engadget.
You can see that chart (with a bit of my feedback) after the jump!
