Nash Tee Tech Vlog: iPhone 5

Showing posts with label iPhone 5. Show all posts

This is the first time Apple has launched two iPhones, a flagship model and a mid-ranger. The mid-range iPhone was unveiled to the public as the iPhone 5C. Whether C stands for China, whose market is a target of Apple lately, whether C means Cheap, since the iPhone 5C is expected to be cheaper than the iPhone 5S, or whether C means Color, since the iPhone 5C comes in 5 new colors, the newly released mid-range iPhone is a breath of fresh air. This is Apple's first attempt to go back to plastic (polycarbonate to be exact) since the iPhone 3GS. Also, you cannot deny that the colors are captivating. The question is, should you get the iPhone 5C? Let's see.

The iPhone 5C comes with a polycarbonate body with a design unlike any of the previous iPhone models. It will also come in 5 vibrant colors: white, pink, yellow, blue, and green. It is bulkier than the iPhone 5S and measures 124.4 mm x 59.2 mm x 8.97 mm while weighing 132 grams. I don't consider it heavy but it is heavier than the previous iPhone model.

It packs Apple's A6 processor, which is the same as the one in the discontinued iPhone 5. The A6 chip delivers impressive performance and graphics yet it’s incredibly energy efficient. It also comes with an array of sensors: 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor.

The iPhone 5C sports the game-changing Retina display and has the same 4-inch multi-touch display of the iPhone 5. It has a 1,136 x 640 display resolution and a pixel density of 326 ppi. Contrast ratio is 800:1 while brightness is rated at 500 cd/m2 max brightness. The display is protected by a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. There is also support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously. The new iPhone flagship will run on iOS 7 and will contain apps such as Passbook, Newsstand, and Game Center. iPhoto, iMovie, and the iWork Suite (Keynote, Pages, Numbers) can also be downloaded for free with the new iPhone 5C.

The iPhone 5C packs an 8-MP iSight primary camera with ƒ/2.4 aperture, backside illumination sensor, five-element lens, hybrid IR filter, and a single LED flash. Camera features such as autofocus, tap to focus, face detection, panorama, and photo geotagging are all on-board. The camera is also capable of 1080p Full HD video recording at 30 fps. There is also video stabilization. You can still take photos while recording video. A front-facing Facetime camera can also be found capable of shooting 1.2-MP photos and 720p HD video recording. There is also backside illumination sensor on the front cam. Facetime can be done via Wi-Fi and cellular network.

In terms of connectivity, the iPhone 5C is compatible with all LTE networks (GSM & CDMA) worldwide. It also has 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology. Noticeably lacking are the IR blaster and NFC support. The iPhone 5C also has Assisted GPS and GLONASS and digital compass. Virtual assistant Siri is still present, which you can use to search, send messages, make a call, set reminders, and more.

The iPhone 5C has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which can be charged through USB or a power adapter. Talk time is rated at up to 10 hours on 3G with a standby time of up to 250 hours. Internet use is rated at up to 8 hours on 3G and up to 10 hours of LTE or Wi-Fi. The new iPhone 5S will come with Apple EarPods with remote and mic, with storage and travel case. It will only accept nano-SIM to operate and will have to rely on a Lightning connector for charging, unless you buy a separate dock. Pricing starts at $99 for the 16GB model on contract and $199 for the 32GB model. Without carrier subsidies, you can snag a 16GB model for $549.

The iPhone 5C may not be as good a looker as the iPhone 5S. It may not have the fingerprint sensor technology. It may not even have the 64-bit architecture of the A7 chip. But in the end, it is the broader market that Apple intends to target with the device. While this is considered a mid-range device, its pricing is not necessarily cheap. It is basically an iPhone 5 wrapped in plastic. Whether this strategy will work in favor of the iPhone 5C, we've yet to find out.

The upcoming iPhone 5S is said to be coming in at least 3 colors: black/slate, white/silver, and gold/white. This is the first time that Apple will be launching a device and smartphone in a shade of gold. Take note that it's not made with gold nor gold-plated, the new iPhone 5S variant will be painted gold and white.

Image by GSMArena

In case you are wondering why Apple (allegedly) decided to come up with this color combination, there are two reasons to it. First, the color will be a much lighter shade of gold, or champagne gold to be exact, which looks classy and more fitting to a high-end smartphone. Second, the demand for golden iPhones is big. Gold is a popular aftermarket color option in Eastern and Middle Eastern markets so naturally it makes sense to offer it out of the box.

Whether you like gold or not, a fan of iPhone or not, I guess we'll find out if this news turns out to be true on September 10.

Just after the announcement of the iPhone 5, rumors of its successor, the iPhone 5S, started flooding the Internet. Now, we have a couple photos of the alleged iPhone 5S chassis. The chassis looks essentially the same as the iPhone 5. Based on these photos, the iPhone 5S will feature the same panel as the iPhone 5, a 4-inch IGZO with a resolution of 1,136 x 640 pixels (Retina display).

Image by SlashGear

Reportedly, users will be seeing the same A6 chip powering the iPhone 5S but with a faster CPU clock speed as well as 2GB RAM. There’s also said to be a dedicated quad-core GPU and NFC connectivity. The rear camera is bumped up to 12-MP with a dual-LED flash. A finger-print scanner should come in handy as well.

Rumor has it that the production of the iPhone 5S would start this July and the image of the chassis seem to substantiate that. Do you think this is the iPhone 5S?

Another weak, another leak. This is the case for the rumored budget iPhone. Among those previously rumored was its price tag, which is said to cost around $350, contract-free. It will also be made of plastic (with different colors to choose from) to differentiate it from its premium sibling and also to cut production cost. If this turns out real, the iPhone will have more ammo to battle it out with Android in the midrange smartphone category. So, what else is new based on the most recent leak?

Image by Techdy

According to a claim by Techdy, the budget iPhone will be plastic-shelled and will also come with a white variant. While it was said that it will be made of plastic, it isn't just any kind of plastic. It is polycarbonate to be exact, similar to the material used on the Windows Phone-powered Nokia Lumia. The Apple logo will still be at the back together with iPhone brand name. Rumor has it that it will be launched together with the iPhone 5S this fall.

Image by Techdy

Specs-wise, it will pack a 4-inch display. There's no word yet on the kind of display and the pixel density (Retina levels?). The Lightning port will be at the bottom, together with speaker holes, the 3.5 mm headphone jack, and microphone. The bezels are said to be thin as well, thinner than on any released iPhone to date. Below is a video of the rumored budget iPhone.

Our beloved smartphones face different kinds of challenges every day. It may be water from rain or worse, the toilet bowl, sand from the beach, dust, oil and grease, and yes, the seemingly inevitable - accidental drops (high drops). We've seen flagship smartphones, such as the iPhone, Galaxy S III, and Galaxy S4, undergo tests like scratch tests, drop tests, and dunk tests. And did I mention about Blendtec's Will It Blend test?

We’ve seen all sorts of tests abut you haven't seen the most epic battle yet. It's Apple's iPhone 5 versus Samsung's Galaxy S4! This destruction test aims to show how sturdy the hardware of the two devices is. Watch the video below:

Obviously, both devices suffered major damages. Surprisingly, it's the one made of plastic that was able to fare well. In any case, I don't suggest that you let your smartphones, either Apple or Samsung, undergo such challenges.

With the launch of the Nokia Lumia 928, a teaser page has been published on the site with a video that demonstrates the video recording quality difference between the Lumia 928, the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S III.

Image by GSMArena

The video is shot on the ‘The Hurricane’ roller coaster in New York through two Lumia 928, one recording the roller coster going around the tracks and one that is on the roller coaster itself. The video then goes on to show comparisons with the other two phones, by freezing the frames at convenient points.

Admittedly, the 928′s video looks the best of the lot. Also, it’s a video made by the phone’s manufacturer. But comparisons aside, the video from the Lumia 928 does look pretty good even in such low light conditions.

It's kinda off that Nokia compared it's unreleased flagship to a Samsung Galaxy S III, which has been released over a year ago.

A tipster, who happens to be a Foxconn employee, informed China Business that Apple has rejected between 5 and 8 million iPhone handsets “due to appearance of substandard or dysfunctional problems.”

Image by GSMArena

The report suggests that Foxconn would have to spend as much as $1.6 billion to correct the issues with the problematic iPhones. The return of the said devices may result in a 2-to-3 week hole in Apple’s supply chain.

Maybe Apple should get a new manufacturing partner?

Call it a publicity stunt or throwing a tantrum on air, Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop was caught in a rather awkward interview on national Finnish television. He did not even hesitate calling the iPhone “embarrassing” after the interviewer showed him his Apple smartphone. Shortly after that, Elop threw Apple's best smartphone on the ground. In a not so surprising twist, Elop soon comforted the TV reporter by promising that he would have his iPhone replaced for a brand new Nokia smartphone.

What can you say about Nokia's CEO? Was his behavior appropriate or such stance must be taken lightly?

According to IDC, smart connected device shipments went up 29.1% in 2012. Smart connected devices include smartphones, tablets, desktop PC, notebooks, netbooks, and ultrabooks. Unsurprisingly, 60% of the 1.2 billion units shipped last year were smartphones.

Image by Engadget

As mentioned, over 1.2 billion units of smart connected devices were shipped last year, marking a 29.1% increase from 2011. Tablets and smartphones drove the boost by carving out 70% percent of the total market share, while PCs and notebook/netbook/ultrabook shipments sank by 4.1 and 3.4 percent, respectively. Sammy came out on top with smart connected devices in 2012 as a whole with a 20.8% market share, beating Apple by 2.6 percent. That would be a total of 250 million units shipped for Samsung and 218.7 million units shipped for Apple. Samsung managed to ship the most number of smartphones while Apple was the leader in tablet shipments.

Image by Engadget

Lenovo finished in third place with a 6.5% marketshare, thanks to its notebook sales, while HP and Dell ranked 4th and 5th with 4.8% and 3.2%, respectively. According to IDC, Apple could have been a distant runner-up to Samsung but thanks to the high demand for the iPhone 5 and iPad mini that the Cupertino company managed to lessen the gap.

Apple has just rolled out iOS 6.1 to hundreds of millions of iOS devices. The latest iOS brings LTE support for 36 additional carriers offering the iPhone and 23 offering the iPad.

Image by GSMArena.com

Siri has been updated and now allows you to purchase movie tickets right off the app. This feature is available only in the US, at least for the time being. iTunes Match is updated as well giving its users the ability to download individual songs off iCloud.

Finally, there's a new button that allows you to reset the Advertising Identifier in addition to lots of other minor, under-the-hood bug fixes.

Image by Mashable.com

“iOS 6 is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, and with nearly 300 million iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices on iOS 6 in just five months, it may be the most popular new version of an OS in history,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, in a release. “iOS 6.1 brings LTE support to more markets around the world, so even more users can enjoy ultrafast Safari browsing, FaceTime video calls, iCloud services, and iTunes and App Store downloads.”

Available as a free download, the iOS 6.1 update is up for grabs for owners of the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS, the iPad (third and fourth generation), iPad mini, iPad 2 and iPod touch (fourth and fifth generation).

To download the app, go to Settings on your mobile device and then select General. The update will be available via the Software Update section within that screen. However, users should have at least 1GB of storage to download iOS 6.1, so you may have to clean up some space on your device beforehand.

Last time, we saw the Apple iPhone 5 competed with the Samsung Galaxy S III for the ultimate drop test. Now, it is time to weigh in their bigger relatives to see who's the sturdiest of them all.

It's the Google Nexus 7 versus the Apple iPad mini. Two great 7-inch-something tablets but only one will win. Are you ready?

Warning: These videos are not for the squeamish. Lol.

Both devices were dropped three times and one of them stopped working already.

Yes, the Apple tablet wins yet again. The touchscreen of the Google Nexus 7 stopped working after the second drop. Congratulations to the iPad mini! Great build quality indeed.

Guys, please don't drop your precious devices, whether it's Android-powered or iOS. Extra care must be practiced all the time.

Note: This is just a random drop test and is not some well-calculated, scientific test. Video courtesy of Android Authority.

We have seen the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, the iPad, an Olympus camera, and the Wii get crushed by Blendtec's seemingly powerful blender. And because it's time for Tom to get a new smartphone, he has to decide which between the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S III he should get. Definitely, he will decide based on the sturdiness of the phone. Will he get the fastest-selling smartphone ever, which is the iPhone 5? Will he choose Android's best-selling smartphone, which is the Samsung Galaxy S III? Will he buy both? Or will he choose neither and grab something else?

The only way for you to find out is to watch the YouTube video below.

Was your guess correct? If you've been watching his previous videos, you'd already know which product will emerge victorious.

Remember the Galaxy S III ad Samsung has come up to deride the iPhone 5? Well, it didn't take long before Apple fans hit back at Samsung. And yes, even Nokia fans joined the frenzy.

In Apple's version of the advertisement, the copy reads: "Don't settle for cheap plastic." This is a downright insult to the Galaxy S III's design and construction, which is mainly built with hyper-glazed plastic. While using a plastic material enables NFC (which the iPhone 5 does not have due to its aluminum and glass body) and makes the smartphone significantly lighter, it doesn't do much for the Galaxy S III's looks. This is not to say that hardened plastic is not a good material. It's just that plastic doesn't look right for a high-end flagship phone like the Galaxy S III. Take a look at the Nokia Lumia 900 or perhaps its elegantly designed Android cousin, the HTC One X (which is made of aluminum). Then again, the looks is not the Galaxy S III's selling point. It's beyond looks. With the Galaxy S III, we are talking about quad-core processors, more horsepower, higher capacity battery, expandable storage, and whatnot...So you see, it's about the specs.

Image by GSMArena

In the ad above, you will see how Apple fans removed "NFC" and other features of the Galaxy S III and populated the iPhone 5's column with its other notable features that Samsung seemed to have forgotten. This goes without saying that the omission of specific features from both phones was a calculated move from both Samsung and Apple fans for marketing purposes to show that their product is superior to the other. It must be noted though that there are some wrong information with regard to the listed specifications of the iPhone 5. For one, it doesn't have a quad-core CPU. But other than that, information stated above about the iPhone 5 is accurate. So, it does have these extra features to brag about. But in the end, if it's just about having the most number of features, I think the Galaxy S III will win, no question about it.

Not allowing their favorite smartphone brand to be easily outdone by the iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia fans came up with their own version of Samsung's ad. This time, it's iPhone 5 versus the yet-to-be-released Nokia Lumia 920. Based on the ad's copy, which reads: "Flyweight contender, meet the heavyweight champion," the iPhone 5 seems to face a tough competition from the Nokia Lumia 920. While the latter hasn't been released on the market yet, it definitely looks promising. And while the Lumia 920 can't match the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S III (in terms of sheer number), it will surely give the iPhone 5 (and Galaxy S III as well) a run for its money.

How about you guys? Do you agree with these mock-up iPhone 5 and Lumia 920 ads? Tell me your thoughts.

The iPhone 5 has just been released in 9 or 10 countries last September 21. As expected, the lines were long...kilometers long to be exact (Not kidding!). The waiting list for online orders is pegged at 3 to 4 weeks already. And, of course, the launching will not be complete without the anti-Apple rallyists.

While most fanatics are still waiting for their precious iGadget to arrive, a lucky few have managed to get their hands on the world's most coveted smartphone. Some disassembled the device immediately to carefully examine its entrails. Others tested the phone's processing power in online benchmarks, which proved that the iPhone 5 is indeed a computing powerhouse. Several peeps are already reselling these iDevices online (via the gray market) with a super-inflated price tag.

But one person stood out as he opted to test the iPhone 5's sturdiness (with its new aluminum and glass casing) by dropping it intentionally together with Samsung's flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S III. So which do you think of the two smartphones will win? As you may know, the iPhone 4S had gone through the same drop test together with the Galaxy S III and the former emerged victorious as the latter's screen got crushed that you could no longer used the touchscreen. Will the iPhone 5 share the fate of its predecessor or will it be outdone by Samsung's best-selling smartphone this time?

Check out this video below:

As you can see, both smartphones managed to survive the 3 feet and 4 feet drop! But only one emerged victorious in the 5-foot, 6-inch drop test! Which phone was it? Wait a minute...wait for it! wait! You bet it's the iPhone 5! Perhaps, the new aluminum casing really helped it survive such a high drop.

While this drop test is not scientific in any way, this video shows us how NOT to drop our dearly beloved smartphones in certain ways. Of course, damage to the phone depends on the point of impact, which cannot be controlled with this kind of test. By the way, my heart just got crushed seeing both devices fall to the floor, shattering like an expensive piece of item. It's like indiscriminately burning a bag of dollars or probably Godzilla eating your new Porsche. In any case, it hurts...so bad.

So, there you have it guys! I'm sure you enjoyed watching the video. Please tell me your thoughts on the Comment Section below.

Once again, it's that time of the year when Samsung takes another shot at Apple after the latter has released the iPhone 5. Not to be outdone by the American company, South Korea-based Samsung has come up with an advertisement that not only shows how far more advanced the Galaxy S III is over the new iPhone but also adds insult to injury by adding a copy that reads: "It doesn't take a genius." Surely, it doesn't take a genius to know their differences and the Galaxy S III's purported advantages but is it all just about specs?

It's been weeks since Apple won over Samsung in a high profile patent infringement case in the US, which cost the latter more than a billion dollars. It seems that Samsung is not bowing down to Apple easily without giving another fight... and yet again guns at Apple's most amazing iPhone yet. Take a look at the ad below and tell me what you think of it.

Image by CNET

From the ad above, you can see that Samsung has listed the specs of its Galaxy S III opposite the specs of the iPhone 5. Clearly, based on the ad, the Galaxy S III is far superior than the iPhone, or is it really the case? I'll try to be as fair as possible. (Note: I own a Galaxy S III and a slew of Apple products.)

The iPhone 5 has been announced last September 12 (or 13 if you live in the other side of the world). Netizens and experts have weighed in on whether or not the iPhone's latest iteration is an innovation.
Well, regardless if you see it as an innovation or more of an evolution, the iPhone 5 is here and it is not going anywhere. Join me for an overview of the iPhone 5, which I made especially for ordinary netizens like you.

Image by Apple

Let's take a look on what it looks like and how different it is (or not) from the iPhone 4S. First off, it doesn't look radically different from its predecessor. It still has this iPhone 4/4S body with rounded edges - thus maintaining its iconic look. It looks awkwardly long or maybe because its longer chassis hasn't grown on me yet. But if you take a closer look, you'll notice that the materials used have changed. The back chassis is now two-tone - a mixture of aluminum and perhaps glass. Also at the back, you can find a microphone in between the camera and the LED flash. On the front part, the front-facing camera has been moved to the center and the phone's bezel looks thinner. Underneath, you'll find the loudspeaker, the all-new Lightning port, and another microphone. The 3.5mm jack for your headset has also been transferred underneath the phone. Perhaps the best view of the iPhone 5 is when you look at it from the side. It looks so sleek. Not much has changed with the volume rocker and sleep/mute button though. And finally, on top, you can find the power button. Overall, the iPhone 5 is said to be lighter and sturdier than its predecessor. Design-wise, it's more of an evolution to me, after all, I don't see the need to change its already iconic body. But it does still look awkwardly long to me. I don't know why. Oh, one more thing, it will be available in black/slate and white/silver colors.

Image by Apple

When it comes to features, the iPhone 5 is jam-packed, and with that I mean it's loaded with a lot of features (albeit not groundbreaking). Now with a 4-inch screen, the iPhone 5 is still able to maintain its 326 pixels per inch density - meaning it still fits the Retina moniker. Native iPhone apps have also been redesigned to fit the smartphone's slightly bigger screen. However, I do think that a 4-inch screen is considered small by today's standards. I'm not saying that it has to be as big as that of the Samsung Galaxy S III or that of the HTC One X, but I think the screen should be somewhere between 4.3 and 4.5 inches. This is just my opinion. You are free to disagree. Anyway, the screen still looks sharp and pictures look crisp, which make me wonder how its refreshed iSight camera performs.

Image by Apple

The iPhone 5 is equipped with an 8-megapixel iSight camera, same with that of the iPhone 4S. It records 1080p Full HD videos as well. So nothing new here so far. The change is with the internals. The iPhone 5 touts a faster photo capture, improved noise reduction, and better low-light performance. Its camera is also protected by Sapphire Crystal, which is sturdier than glass and more resistant to scratches. (By the way, the iPhone 5's screen is also protected by an oleophobic anti-fingerprint coating and glass from Corning.) Aside from the iPhone's usual touch focus and HDR camera capabilities, it is now capable of shooting panoramas as well. While Panorama is not new to smartphones, iPhone 5's implementation is arguably better than others as it lets you come up with a 25-megapixel by-product. The actual capabilities of the camera and video recorder still remain to be seen but I'm sure it will not disappoint as the iPhone 4S has one of the best smartphones cameras to date, and now we are talking about the iPhone 5.

Image by Apple

Other changes in the latest iPhone is its chip, which is the A6 chip manufactured by Apple, which is said to be twice as fast in processing data and graphics compared to the A5 chip of the iPhone 4S. While Apple decided to stay mum on the iPhone 5's number of cores, I think it is safe to say that it is dual-core as all LTE-capable phones at the moment only work on two cores. (I'm really excited about LTE, I hope LTE data plans will not be too expensive though.) Again, for performance, you have to see it for yourself or try testing it through online benchmarks. As for the browser, the music and video player, and other built-in apps, you can expect them to work as fine or maybe more fluid than they did before. The Apple smartphone still lacks Adobe Flash support but hey, even Android Jelly Bean smartphones don't have it either. And as they all say, HTML5 is the future. There is also no expandable memory for the iPhone 5 so better buy the 32GB or 64GB version than be sorry for buying the entry-level 16GB. I'm also assuming that it has 1GB of RAM like the new iPad (or iPad 3 for some).

Image by Apple

What most people did not expect is that the new iPhone also comes with new accessories such as the EarPods, which replaces Apple's classic white earphones. It also sports a new Lightning connector, which replaces the old 30-pin connector. Mind you, it is reversible. Going back to the EarPods, I actually like its design as I've never seen something like it before. I really hope that this new Apple earphone does not disappoint (in terms of performance) and will not wither after a year's usage. As for the Lightning connector and dock, it's more of Apple's preference for smaller and much simpler technology.

Image by Apple

Aside from the above mentioned improvements and add-ons, the iPhone 5 will run on the iOS 6 platform, which has better Siri functionality, the Passbook app, better Maps and navigation, better iCloud integration, Facebook and Twitter integration, better Game Center and App Store, AirPlay, AirPrint, and whatnot! Please also don't forget that the iPhone 5 is still a phone with telephony and messaging features. It also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Internet hotspot and tethering features, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, proximity sensor, and so on. The only thing that made me disappointed with regard to the new OS is the lack of a native YouTube app. So does that mean I have to go to the browser and type in www.youtube.com to watch videos? Hell no!

Image by Apple

When it comes to availability, it will be available for pre-order on September 21 in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. It will be available in 22 more countries on September 28, which are all European countries, save for New Zealand. And yes, it will officially hit the Philippine shores (and 100 more countries) in December 2012, just in time for Christmas.

Image by Engadget

All in all, I think a lot of new and good things have come together to make the iPhone 5 the most amazing iPhone yet. I'm not saying it's the best out there as its flagship Android competitors are better-equipped. The iPhone 5 is not a perfect smartphone either, but is there one? I'm sure a lot of people were left underwhelmed after every feature of it has been announced. Perhaps, they have hoped for too much such as wireless charging (which is actually convenient except that it would be hard to use the phone while charging it) and NFC (which has little or no use outside first-world countries). Then again, the iPhone 5 has its pros and cons and while it lacks some features, it certainly makes up for it through constant software updates from Apple and a more cohesive app market and ecosystem. And did I mention that Apple products have this certain charm that other brands do not possess?

That's about it. Clearly, the iPhone 5 is the smartphone everybody loves to hate. So do you love or hate the new Apple smartphone? Are you going to buy it? Will you stick with your iPhone 4S or your beloved Android or maybe Windows Phone? Regardless of which smartphone you choose, it all boils down to personal preference. Choose what will make you productive or entertained the most!

Stay tuned for my review on the new iPod touch, the new iPod nano, the iPad mini, and iOS 6.
