As you know, I once owned a Blackberry that showed me pepper. Then I heard about the Samsung Galaxy S III, and that was all I knew and wanted. My joy would not be full until I owned a Samsung Galaxy S III to call my own. I finally got the phone on a Monday, and by Thursday, I was googling the iPhone 5. Apparently, it now takes an iPhone 5 to fill my joy. Let me just say that the Samsung Galaxy S III is a GREAT phone by all accounts, but it just isn’t for me. It’s not it; it’s me. I have issues, I know.
So after reading about the iPhone which debuted two days ago, I came up with the five best reasons for me (and you) to own the iPhone 5:
1. It’s the latest phone on the market – for the next couple of hours.
2. It’s got retina display (I own the new iPad – AKA iPad 3 – and the display is ah-may-zeen. I didn’t know how amazing it was until I used someone’s iPad 2. I had shingles just from looking at it).
3. The screen is larger, and the weight is lighter. Talk about less being more.
4. I don’t understand half of the new features – or what they mean. I have interpreted this to mean that I should really get the phone.
5. It’s a phone that doubles as a toy.
6. It’s an Apple product. Doesn’t that automatically mean it’s awesome?
7. The iPad 5 is the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone. And wouldn’t you want a piece of this big thing?
8. I cannot help but imagine myself using it to run my business. Mmmmm.
9. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. In other words, it helps with your health. For everyone who is trying to be healthy or healthier, this is definitely the way to go.
Okay, so maybe there are actually 9 top reasons. Who knew? And number 9 is my favorite, in case you’re wondering.

And the one good reason you shouldn’t get it is…… It’s not worth the pain. Get a nokia Lumia baby, get a lumiaaaaa!!
Vera Ezimora says
Mba oh. Absolutely not. I actually love Nokias, but they have become more complicated than I’d like. What I love best about the iPhone is its simplicity. I’m still thinking about it anyway: to get it or not? I don’t know.

7. iPhone 5 you mean! All these reasons make sense to a Applehead, for the rest of us Crackberryheads, the iPhone5 is just another means of solidyfying the grip of Apple on its cult followers! Its going to be the best thing until they launch theiPhone6 in December! Btw i own an ipad 3 too and cant stand the display on my sons iPad 2!
Vera Ezimora says
Lol at apple heads. Is that what we are called? Well, I don’t think I am in an apple cult oh, especially considering that I have never used an iPhone. My fascination of the iPhone comes from my love for my iPad. Anyway, I don’t know yet which phone I will go for: if I will remain with my Samsung? Or if I will switch to the iPhone 5

Bingz says
I cant believe your choosing an iphone over a GS3….. O well….
Vera Ezimora says
Awwww. You sound so disappointed. Tehehehe. Well, if it makes you feel better, I have not chosen yet. I am just considering it. So far, I don’t see anything spectacular about the iPhone 5. We’ll see how it ends up.

There is a movie called “Obama Babes”?
*dead*
Vera Ezimora says
Onakachi,
Yes ooo! You can YouTube it if you’re interested. Me, I have not bothered.

Wow. I thought I was reading a post by Paris Hilton until it dawned on me she probably doesn’t know how to write. I want to believe this was a humorous post regardless as to whether or not you actually want the iPhone. I want to believe that, in reality, there aren’t truly people who are as materialistic and shallow as wanting a phone for any other reason than it’s a good phone.
And, perhaps I’m out of the iPhone loop but what does this phone do to contribute to your health?
Vera Ezimora says
Jack,
I have thought about twenty different ways to reply you. None of them would be possible without insulting you. So, here’s the thing, this blog is all about satire, humor, sarcasm … you get where I’m going with this? And just so we’re clear, I’m perfectly happy with my Samsung Galaxy S III, but if anyone wants an iPhone for any reason, they can go ahead and get it.
