Weeks with the iPhone 5

Posted on 11th November 2012

I have been using the white iPhone 5, 64Gb on AT&T for about 6 weeks. In this time, I have been able to get a good handle on how this device works.  There are a few likes and dislikes about this phone compared to the iPhone 4. This includes the fabled new maps application, find my friends, and widescreen retina display.

Hackintosh 10.8.2 Upgrade

Apple has released yet another update to it’s popular OSX operating system. Is there any coincidence that they released this around the same time that iOS6 hits the mobile devices? The answer is no. With Passport, Facebook, and Twitter integration, it only makes sense to add these features to their computer operating system as well. See the official Apple changelog for the full list of details here.

As for updating your custom-built hackintosh, eveything should go through ok, but always make sure that you have an alternative way to boot the system in case something goes wrong. You can download this update from the Software Update app or download the official combo update from Apple’s website over here.

State of the Apple iPhone 5

Today, Apple announced the iPhone 5 to the masses. Pre-orders will start on the 14th with general sales starting on the 21st. The new iPhone is priced at $199 for the 16Gb, $299 for the 32Gb, and $399 for the 64Gb. We will also see the iPhone 4s drop to $99 for the 16Gb model. These prices are if you sign the 2-year commitment with the cellular provider.

What are some of the new features of the new device? What sets this model aside from the others? What does this mean to all of us with a smartphone already? What sets this model aside from the others? Has Apple become bland in cool new features?
