Apple Fool's Day

Apple just released the new iPhone 5.

A few days before Apple showed the market the new iPhone 5, a US reporter disguised an old iPhone 4S as the upcoming iPhone 5 and asked some people on the street what they thought about the new phone. Apparently a man holding his own iPhone 4 on one hand and the 'new' phone on another said that the 'new' phone looks a lot more hardy than the old one!

Fool...

(couldn't find the news report to attach here)

According to reports, the new iPhone 5 has following 'improvements' over iPhone 4:
 - larger screen (4 inch vs 3 inch) - my 1 year old Sony HP has 4.3 inch screen!
 - lighter & thinner
 - new set of adapters i.e. speakers, chargers etc from iPhone 4 cannot be used!

Big deal or just hype?


Life Lesson:
Most people (the 80%) are guided only by hype and what others say. People say 'A' they say 'A' but do not know why or how so. They follow that way of life because it is 'easy' and there is no need to put in effort to find out, learn and understand things. Only fools follow the easy path...
