AppSlappy #130: The Jackson iPhone 5


The votes are in and pre-orders are available, the iPhone 5 is coming on September 21st. Most of the rumors are true, AT&T customers will keep their unlimited plan, and some folks seem conflicted about how this phone will resinate with people. Which isn’t to say that people won’t buy, they did, a lot. Scott, Eric, and Eileen will discuss all of the new features of the iPhone along with the iPods. Good times will be had and your life will be improved.

Most of you folks have seen charts and graphs about the iPhone 5, so I figured I’d give you another one! All of the stuff you may expect, general processing power, screen size, and best of all, weight. Oh how I must know how many ounces less the iPhone 5 is compared to the others. Ounces count people!

On top of everything else, we’ve got a new connector with some controversy, iOS 6, earpods, a new iPod nano, and new iPod Touch. Happy reading people.

  1. Could you please add the repair shop’s web address that Eric sent his iPad to? I want to make sure I’m dealing with the same people. Thanks!

  2. Is it possible to refer to the possible 7″ Ipad as something other than the Minipad? It makes me think I should find it on the Feminine Needs aisle at the grocery store. If the new, smaller pad is the “Mini”, does that make the larger, existing one a “Maxi-pad”?
