http://tidbits.com/ Apple gives out very few pre-release iPhones for tech writers to review. The first batch of such reviews of the iPhone 5 dig deeper than Apple’s effusive marketing. en-us Copyright 2012 TidBITS Publishing Inc.

But it certainly isn't good customer service on Apple's part, I agree entirely.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15827 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 09:06:53 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15827 Consider:
1-Apple ships a Lightening USB cable (and USB wall wart) with each phone so the phone can connect to a computer for synching, powering.
2-a vast number of people synch wirelessly.
3-Assuming people who upgraded kept their old phones, their old docks/accessories still work; if they sold their old phone they have cash to purchase an adaptor
4-all media reviews of iPhone 5 have pointed out the need for an adaptor (David Pogue of NYT was especially pointed in his criticism of Apple's switch to the new connector).
Finally, I prefer the media dispassionately review the iPhone rather than advocating a point of view.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15826 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:47:57 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15826 I think that it is a rip off and how can they just not care if they make all of their previous customers pay an additional $30 for a connecter? It is an outrage and what is more outrageous is that the media is backing off from making it a news item.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15822 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 06:31:15 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15822 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15819 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 04:10:41 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15819 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15806 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:06:18 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15806 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15801 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 12:24:02 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15801 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15790 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 16:36:07 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15790 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15784 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:55:12 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15784 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13273?rss#comments_15709 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:18:56 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13273#comments_15709
