iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4s vs iPhone 4

I love my iPhone 4s. Absolutely adore it. It is, by far, the best phone I have ever had.

I bought it over the iPhone 4 because it has Siri - which I was amazed by.

Yet now, the iPhone 5 is out. What is the difference between all three phones? 

Are you thinking of spending the £529 it costs to buy a new iPhone 5?

Don't get me wrong, if I had a load of money I'd get it without a second thought... but I don't. Lets face it, with today's economy not many people will be able to spend £529 without thinking about it.

So, I've discovered the EXACT difference between the three phones.

So, there's not much difference... I won't be buying the iPhone 5 in a hurry. If I walk into a lot of money, then definitely but for now, the iPhone 4s will suffice.

Our First Day Together

Well I've finally set little Maccy up. Still haven't thought of a name for him/her yet though.

I thought I'd share my first emotion when I had finally set him/her up.


then it went to

(tears of joy)

and then to

(the shock I actually managed to get a MacBook)


and finally to

(realising I now have no money)


It was an emotional journey.
