Like Judgement Day, the apocalypse and every other world-ending ‘oh my god, this is a life changing moment’ we seem to have every other year, the introduction of a new iPhone seemingly takes over people’s lives. Apple drops a new iPhone once a year and, in 2012, it was the turn of the iPhone 5, but what’s new; what have they failed at and just how popular has it become?
Well, it’s fair to say there was a hell of a lot of people disappointed with the initial launch of the iPhone 5. Sure, Apple fan-boys are always going to back the company up no matter what but, the fact of the matter is, the 5 is not the massive overhaul of the 4S we were all expecting. There are plenty of new features, improvements on design and performance, but the fact it remained basically the same as the 4S left many Android-loving, anti-Apple supporters the chance to seriously go in hard on the internet.
