So the rumors were true. The new iPhone is called the iPhone 5, it has:
- 4″ display
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- 1136 x 640 screen resolution
And unfortunately it also has those two stripes on the back – we get it – with full aluminum you won’t get the radios to work, but wasn’t the antenna on the outside now? iOS 6 update coming on September 19th.
Our initial views on the iPhone 5 are: Meh. It’s really not THAT exciting. And the only really exciting iOS6 feature is Passbook, because it opens a whole new real from designers and developers (and businesses). If it sticks it’s gonna change the industry big time. The rest of the OS is ok, but not really revolutionary. Panorama mode in 2012? Come on Apple!
Besides, one more thing is bugging me a little bit. The calendar app icon updates itself with the current day, but the weather icon doesn’t. It still has the sun and 23 degrees Celsius. That’s an inconsistency that is very unlike Apple.
