It's been a while since I've posted, what with being out of state for a week, but I digress. This story is outrageous.
I couldn't believe it when I heard that the newest iPhone was lost and found in a Redwood City bar. My first reaction wasn't "how is that possible", it was "maybe we should start hitting up bars in Silicon Valley so we can find prototypes on bar stools." This would be a big deal to any company, but this is Apple. The iPhone is a pretty big deal.
The full story is of course in the last link, and the pictures can be found on Gizmodo as well. It blows my mind that this kind of thing could even happen.
The iPhone itself is different, as you would expect. There is a new camera on the front, most likely for video chat. The old camera has been upgraded to a better quality model and there's now a flash function. There are new buttons on the side for volume control, making listening to music that much more simple. The display has been improved with a higher display resolution (most likely 960 x 640), even though the screen size has been reduced slightly. The battery life has been improved dramatically with the addition of a larger battery. The appearance of the iPhone is more squared off around the edges, and the back is flat.
The only thing I can consider as a downside (other than the smaller screen) is the weight of the new unit. It weighs 3g more than the previous iPhone, but I doubt most people will even notice. Besides, people will buy anything that Apple makes, as evidenced by the iPad.
All I know is that someone is getting fired over this. Perhaps a lot of someones.
PS. Check out the newest episode of Boss Talk, if you haven't yet. If you have, can you do us a favor and share it with someone special? Thanks.
