To iPhone 4S or not?
19 Oct
I converted to the iPhone several years ago when the iPhone 3G came out. My then fiancée convinced me to replace our monthly plan with a family plan so that we could save money. Compared to the flip phone that I used to own, I loved my iPhone 3G the moment I got it. I was finally able to get e-mail on my phone! But I admit I never took advantage of the technology…never really used any apps, accessed the beloved Facebook, or searched the web. My biggest problem with the iPhone 3G was the speed - I didn’t have the patience to wait for graphics to load.
But on Friday, everything changed. My now husband and I were in New Jersey for a wedding and we decided to take advantage of our day off together. So we headed to the nearest mall, waited in line at the chaotic Apple store and spoke to the iPhone specialist. As I listened to the sales pitch from the Apple rep and watched him demo the new features, I was hooked. We purchased two iPhones in stylish white and proceeded to spend the rest of the night glued to our respective iPhones, stopping only for dinner and bathroom breaks.
This weekend we used the iPhone for everything: I used the camera to take pictures at the wedding, instead of caring both a camera and a phone in my clutch; I couldn’t be happier with the quality of them. I even loaded the pictures directly to Facebook the morning after the wedding, in a matter of seconds. The map loaded quickly and helped us navigate our way around the area. Siri helped us find a restaurant for dinner and also scheduled a reminder in our calendar so we remembered to return my husband’s tux to the rental shop. We even FaceTimed my parents to check on my dogs while we were away for the weekend (they got new iPhones too).
So for all you skeptics out there, do yourself a favor and go test one out. If you’re like me and had a dinosaur of a phone in terms of speed, you won’t be disappointed. But if you have an iPhone 4 and are trying to decide if you should upgrade or wait till the iPhone 5 debuts next year, check out this article.
