So Apple has released another rendition of the iconic iPhone, labeled of course the iPhone 5. Shouldn't it be like 7 or 8 by now but anyway the phone finally gets a screen size change and a minor redesign on the exterior. Inside are the necessary upgrades that should come along with a new generation device. A quicker A6 processor, 4G LTE radio, and updated iOS. Now you would think with all of these upgrades to the hardware some significant redesign would come to the UI as well but no, not this time. Apple has been using the same icons since the iPhone showed its face back in 2007. C'mon guys I think it is time for something to change. I'm not trying to be Debbie downer here but these little changes here and there ain't cutting it anymore. There is room for customization within the Apple ecosystem but you always have to jailbreak the device and I am not against that at all, it's just that the iOS 5 jailbreak didn't go public for almost 5 months after release (who knows how long it will take this time)? As you can tell I am a bit underwhelmed by the software and UI but you really cannot beat Apple's engineering and hardware design. Oh well I guess you can't have everything, cue iPhone 6 rumors now.
