Dustin set his up right away. I was at the gym so I set mine up once I got home. My set up, however, was not as smooth as his. You have to call AT&T to activate it. Yeah, well I tried calling AT&T with the 5 instead of my 4. I had a long day, geez. I backed up my phone on my lunch break earlier in the day OR SO I THOUGHT. Well, my contacts, photos, and music were all there but none of my apps synced. Dustin noticed that the 'Sync App' button wasn't checked on my iTunes. I freaked. So I went and laid on our bed and downloaded every app - one by one. Luckily, the 5 is so fast, it wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it was going to be. Still a bonehead move on my part. Check that box people!
Things I'm Really REALLY Loving:
-The minute I held it in my hand for the first time I immediately noticed how light it is. A feather!
-The quickness. Holy hell it's so much faster. This LTE shit is no joke.
-The screen is obviously bigger. I love it because I can fit a whole other row of apps now.
-I haven't really played around with Panorama yet (but you can bet your britches I will at the Steeler game and when we ride up the incline! Those are going to be some killer shots.) but Dustin has. He took a picture of our kitchen and living room in one shot. Pretty neat.
-The extra emoticons that were added with iOS 6 are awesome. They have little glasses now! Eeee! Also a shrimp which could come in handy. iOS 6 is just cool period (for more reasons than awesome emoticons.) I know everyone downloaded it a few days ago but it comes standard on the 5's so Dustin and I figured we would just wait.
-The new maps is really cool. The 3D is especially cool.
-The two tone is pretty bad ass looking. At least the black one is. And since it is two tone there is more of a grip. I really hated the iPhone 4 glass back. It was so slippery! It obviously didn't matter with a case on but still.
Other Thoughts:
-Passbook is going to be so convenient once more companies get on board. But I haven't been able to do much with it yet.
-I haven't played with Siri once. She doesn't interest me. Dustin's all over her though. HA.
-I understand why Apple had to change the cable to a smaller version but now I have to change everything. So for the time being I can't charge my phone in my car. Grr.
-I hate not having a case. Like a lot. My case has been pre-ordered even before these suckers were officially announced but probably won't ship until the beginning of October. Until then, I'll keep treating my phone like it's a newborn baby. When Erin asked to look at it I was like sure and then said "Two hands now! Hold his head. BE CAREFUL!". I've turned into a crazy person. Or my crazy has just gone up a notch. Whatever.
-The new headphones are a little too big for my tiny ears. They are kind of uncomfortable but maybe I'll get used to them. I think I'll give them a proper test run at the gym tomorrow.
As I was looking for my iPhone 4 box (so I could send it in for $$), I came across my iPhone 3G. So I decided to do a little photo shoot with all 3. Four years of iPhone.
