Steve Jobs Dislike iPhone 5 Design

All Apple fans enthusiast hoping for Apple iPhone 5 come out of this year. But iPhone 4S was released instead, which is now continually gain problem. The question hanging is, 'Is there is no really iPhone 5?'

According to Business Insider: iPhone 5 is a real product. And Apple was almost released it, but with the last minute cancellation. Who else if not Steve Jobs, who had a role, according to Business Insider quoted from an Apple anonymous source.

"Apple has made a prototype iPhone 5, with a bigger screen and new form. Some of them even already predict this product will be circulated before December 2011," according to Business Insider.

But, the founder of Apple who is also the most influential figure in the company, Steve Jobs, 'kill' the product. Why? There are no rumors that could be validated. Rumors circulating saying, Jobs kill the iPhone 5 because he does not like the shape.

As we all know, iPhone's has a distinctive shape. Unlike the shape of other smart phones made by Nokia, HTC or Samsung. The big screen in the iPhone, according to him, will be followed by Samsung or HTC. All about Android is allergic to Jobs.

Apple enthusiast knew the character of Jobs in the design. He adopts a minimalist and similarity shape. So make a product similar with Android could be devastating, according to Jobs. Apple iPhone can no longer have the similarities from generation 1 to 4.

Is this rumor correct? Steve Jobs certainly could not answer, because he already passed away. While other Apple officials? We will have to wait for their clarification.

People would love to have this new handset as gifts of Christmas and other events. Market has been greatly occupied by Apple due to this delay. Secondly, Droid Bionic is a recent entry in the market with much improved camera results. Apple had to figure out some way depending upon this market response with something even better.

Snow White (Apple & Bokeh In Naschmarkt), Vienna

Snow White (Apple & Bokeh In Naschmarkt), Vienna, originally uploaded by flatworldsedge.

Another pair I had trouble choosing between. Seen large on black the main image wins through, I think - the main apple is much sharper and better isolated in its own little plane of focus (I moved several apples between shots). In the shot below there's an extra stalk and an in focus base of an apple which kind of distract. The bokeh are twice the size too in the main one, thanks to the harder zoom.

It's a night shot - f/4.5 and ISO 400 giving a nice exposure thanks to the market lights. It's a handheld shot, with the IS doing a super job, in my opinion, of keeping the apple sharp; it was taken handheld at 1/15. I only have a handful of (working) lens, and this (24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM) is the only one with IS. As I understand it the version on that lens is a little behind the curve, so new releases will offer an extra one or two stops of "handholdability" - which is remarkable.

If you have the time to see it in lightbox, I'd recommend it, and also a quick look at the one below which offers a nicer blue sky and a little extra detail in the chalk and a girl shopping.

As to the title, I hope it's not too obscure. The apple just had a landmine look to it, hiding sharp amongst the blur, waiting to do someone a mischief, and the bokeh and painterly feel of the bokeh set a kind of fairy tale mood.

I do enjoy the contrast with www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5217086663/in/photos... taken a few minutes earlier. Hope everyone is having a super week so far.
