We have a fun and informative post by creative teamer, Donna Gibson<\/a>, the happy owner of an iPhone 5 (and every earlier version!).<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n

Here<\/a> is Donna’s instagram photostream. She loves sharing the humor in the everyday, along with beautiful floridian beach vistas of her summer vacations.<\/p>\n

I asked Donna if she thought the iPhone 5<\/a> was worth upgrading to, and below is her honest and informative feedback:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not the best one to ask, because I love everything about every iPhone I\u2019ve ever had. I think I\u2019ve had every single one of them. Among my five kids, three daughters-in-law, hubby, and me, we have 9 iPhones. Peter (hubby) is the only one who doesn\u2019t have one. I carry mine with me at all times, except in the shower. Yes, I even sleep with it next to me. =) It wakes me up in the morning, and I often look at instagram or email or something before I go to sleep. Then during the night or early morning hours it\u2019s not uncommon for me to get a text message from one of the kids, since they\u2019re in three different time zones, and all of us forget to remember who might be sleeping at what time.<\/p>\n

I have over 100 apps on mine (many for photos) and 1000s of photos (enjoy looking at them when I\u2019m waiting somewhere). I have a love\/hate relationship with Siri. Usually she\u2019s helpful, but other times she seems to mock my Southern accent and gives me really strange replies. This morning I was going to someone\u2019s house where I\u2019d never been. I told Siri the address and she gave me a map, showing 2 alternate routes. I also had a choice of turn-by-turn instructions or a street map to follow. I know smartphones have maps, but only iPhones have Siri to get you to the map. I can ask her about the weather or tell her to call someone. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t get the iOS 6 update until I got my new phone on Friday, so I\u2019m not sure whether the new things I like are from the iPhone or from the iOS update. One thing I love about the iPhone 5 is the size and shape! It\u2019s so lightweight!! And so slim. The screen is longer so that it holds an extra row of icons, and because it\u2019s now long and narrow, viewing movies is more natural. The speakers have been upgraded, too, and pages launch faster.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t show comparison photos between my two phones because my iPhone 4S has already been sold. However, my daughter Graham and I stood on the same spot in the kitchen Friday night, and we each took a photo with our iPhones (she has the 4S, two versions older). Mine had better white balance (less yellow from the indoor lights). The iPhone 5 is even better than the 4S in low-light mode, and the 4S was better in low light than any point-and-shoot I\u2019ve ever had. I\u2019ve heard the iPhone cameras are putting a serious dent in the point-and-shoot camera market. None of us in my family have carried point-and-shoots for a while now.<\/p>\n

FaceTime<\/a>, an Apple video calling app, is also very handy. Not only can I see my family members who have moved all over the United States, but I can see whatever they want to show me. For example, when Graham is shopping, she might show me some clothes and ask my opinion. Much faster than texting me photos.<\/p>\n

As far as I\u2019m concerned, the iPhone 5 is totally worth every penny.”<\/p>\n

Thanks, Donna! Stop back Thursday for her five favorite iPhone photo apps!<\/p>\n

Happy shooting!<\/p>\n
