It's All In the Name

I am pissed at Apple - and I can’t even blame this one on Steve Jobs, but only because he is dying of cancer.



I have been waiting since before the iPhone4 was released to upgrade my phone. If you know me well, you know what a feat this has been for me.


I am a phone snob.


I trade in my phones more than I trade in boyfriends.


But as a sign of my growing maturity, which is so obviously displayed in all of my blogs, I decided that my 3GS was in decent condition and that it could last through one more generation of the iPhone. If I could just hold out through the 4 then I would FINALLY be current (at least for about 6 months).


No more “S” version. No more cut-rate upgraded version. No more telling people I couldn’t face-time and more asking people why they couldn’t teleport with their phone. Ok, so that’s a stretch but with Apple you never know.


Then what happens.


iPhone4S….REALLY …….4S. FML.

I know that most of the improved technology is what people were expecting form the 5, but who really wants to say they have the iPhone4S.

And now I am at the point where my phone is such a piece that I can’t afford to wait another 6 months until they really do unveil the 5. I guess it will be another 2 years of dissapointment for me.

But do you want to know the biggest disappoint about this whole 4S thing: How will people know I am better than them if the phone looks exactly the same.
