And now that it’s released, it’s always fun to explore a little further into what makes this new iPhone so great. Here are five fun facts that you may have not known about the iPhone 5.
1.iPhone kind of changed the way we text. Off-topic, without iPhones, you’d never laugh your lungs out the funny autocorrects in the world.
2.The iPod changed the way people listened and carried their music and the iPhone gave an extension to this. But with not enough memory (in 8 or 16GB models), the iPhone still lacks the kind of storage an iPod provides but if it did, the iPod line would be long dead.
3.Apps on the iPhone! Oh boy! At last call, several billion dollars have been spent on apps. Apple’s market share of app downloads is enormous despite the relative popularity of Android smartphones. And there’s just one thing that I can attach to that: iOS apps are far better than most Android apps. May be it’s got to do with the kind of strict rules that Apple enforces. Or may be it’s the kind of design aesthetic that app developers have. It’s both, I guess.
4.About 49% of the people sell their old iPhones before purchasing new ones! That’s something amazing because you don’t see that for any other phone in particular. Sure, people sell their old phones almost always but for a particular smartphone, the number’s huge. What it shows is that people are willing to get their hands on used iPhones too just because of the name/brand. Of course, that’s because of the quality.
5.Photos: One of the other things that iPhone revolutionized is photos. With progressively powerful iSight cameras, iPhones simply put strong cameras into people’s hands. And apps like Instagram just changed the face of the world of cellphone photography.
The iPhone also changed the way we do video chat. FaceTime has almost become a standard and I guess “Let’s Facetime” is one of the most popular phrases right behind “Let’s Skype!” Or may be the latter’s behind the former!
