Hear we go again: iPhone 5s, 5c, IOS 7, Oh my!
There are only so many things
people will stand in line for, some
of those things being a midnight
premier of a
movie or to get the best deal on a crockpot on Black Friday, but nothing attracts
lines quite like the release of a new Apple
product.
Apple just came out with the new iPhone
5s and iPhone 5c. People are excited
about the new features, colors and having the newest product that Apple has to
offer.
The 5s comes in 3 different colors like
gold, silver and space gray, and has a fingerprint sensor that can be used instead
of a passcode to unlock your phone which is the biggest difference
when comparing it to the iPhone 5. It also has an apple A7 chip, which
makes it faster, an amber flash, and 2 hours more talk time. It still is the
exact same size, weight, and has the same mega pixel camera. Another interesting feature that the 5s has is, the Dual

Heard it through
the {blank} Vine!
Who wouldn’t want to see two
monkeys getting married? Or a
guy doing imitations of Gru on
the freeway? How many people are
fascinated by weird faces, voices, bodily functions, and the
ever occasional shirtless guy singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight
at Walmart? The answer: Everyone!
Anyone with access to IOS, or an Andriod phone has been
taken over by the sensation that is Vine. Growing out of
the shadows
of Snapchat,
Instagram, and
Twitter, Vine
has become
one of the
most used
social media apps ever!
2013 saw the year of smartphones surpassing the world’s
total population. It is expected that over two-thirds of data
will be video by 2017. This new revolution is the work of
more people using digital media and social media to become
trend setters and social icons.
Even companies have gotten in on the fun, companies such
as Mcdonalds, Xbox, and Windows Explorer all have posted 6
second videos to advertise new products.
Out of the midst internet sensations like Lillian Powers, a
12-year old girl who has made more than 100 vines, is now
in talks for her own TV show since being noticed last week.
The founder of vine, Dom Hofmann, has said, “A post on
vine takes you there, you feel like you were there. Whatever
somebody’s trying to say with their post on Vine — the addition of sound, the colors are better, it moves — it feels like
it’s happening in real life.”

While everyone was out downloading IOS7 another
popular app passed by unrealized. Now the number
one app for android and iPhone is a new game based off
of the previous six versions with the same name.
Angry Birds: Star wars 2 is another cheap app that will take away a person’s ability
to do anything else for a week besides play this game. This time, it will take their
wallet too. For the first time ever, the game can unlock more levels and characters
by buying compatible mini figurines that synchronize with the device.
In this new ongoing app, the colors are more vibrant than ever and the background music is even more annoying! While flipping characters like, Obi-wan
Kenobi, Yoda, and Darth Maul, players can enjoy the fun of the new prelude star
wars t
rilogy and evil pigs. What more could anyone want?
For the active gamer good news comes just after the launch of the new angry
birds game. That news is of course another app called Angry Birds Go! Which follows the previous app Angry Birds Friends and the spinoff Bad Piggies.
For the fans of “the birds” more good news comes from the announcement of a
new animated movie and series based off of the short skits in each game. These
new announcements will join a throng of other products which include key chains,
magnets, gummies, toys, clothes,
blankets, bandages, toilet paper,
and other worthless goods in
which someone will end up buying
because they have the change to
spare.
After the success of Angry Birds
other games have taken suit like
temple run and cut the rope, both
of which have been downloaded
thousands of times and have many
sequels to their names.
In the end the games are giant empires that do nothing more for anyone than
waste their valuable time and consume space on everyone’s phones. Downloading it isn’t worth it. Admitting to the addiction and asking for help is the way to go.
Then, when the time comes, Angry Birds 8 will be waiting.

LED flash and better camcorder that takes pictures while you’re taking

“It’s just another thing Apple does to get money, but it has a lot of cool
features. I like how the retina display is a little
better. The finger touch sensor is also good to
have because on the previous models, people
could break into your phone and with this
feature, you can’t,” Dennis Wright (11) said,”
The 5s doesn’t have as many colors as the 5c
though.”
The iPhone 5c is more similar to the iPhone
5 than it is to the 5s. It is a little bigger and
heavier, and is made with plastic instead of
aluminum and glass, but it comes in five colors
unlike earlier iPhones that only offer black and
white. It also has an A6 chip which is faster than
the one in the iPhone 5, but slower than the 5s. The 5c also lacks the
fingerprint sensor. The only real noticeable difference in the iPhone 5c
are the colors that you can choose from.
