Pulled my new blue 128 out of the box yesterday. First Impressions.
1) Fast...dang fast. Maps, websites, downloads, emails, fly through this thing. It's night and day when compared to all my other devices. Fast Fast Fast
2) Set is a pain of course, type in your ID and password, click restore from icloud and every family members old phone numbers, kids school contacts, tons of dated apps etc pop up. I could have done this one better I know...I wish I set up as new, kept it off the cloud and hand entered everything to keep it clean.
3) Battery - not as great as I'd hoped. It did last about 6-7 hours surfing the web, setting up email accounts, downloading topo maps etc. The battery does drain but it takes a while...
4) Camera - I can't freaking believe this camera. Pictures are so clear. The jump from the 5 pixel 5 to this seems like night and day. Either the touch 5 isn't 5 pixels or this one is more than 8 because the pictures don't compare. These are photos you can print and hang on your wall. I'm throwing away my Sony digital camera.
5) Storage - 128 GB is awesome! I transferred all my aps music and pictures and have 96 gigs left! Sweet!
6) Tip - as soon as you unbox, do not rip the protective cover off. Get your screen saver out and ready. Pull the cover off and place your screen saver on in one motion. No dust no lint no nothing.
7) 500 bucks! This sucker cost me 500 bucks with apple care and tax. They better not come out with another one for 3 years...
8) No contracts! I make free calls using pinger. Take that ATandT
9) IOS 8.4 - I hate the music interface. I can't figure this out. I must be an idiot as this seems way too complicated...
