RUSH: I have a lot of e-mail from people asking me what I think of the new iPhone, and I\u2019m purposely not telling you \u2019cause I know it would make you mad. You don\u2019t want to hear about the iPhone and you don\u2019t want to hear about football and you don\u2019t want to hear about the replacement refs.<\/a> I know. You\u2019re the Stick-to-the-Issues Crowd. Well, let me tell you: This iPhone… I\u2019ll be honest with you. When I first saw what it was gonna be, I was disappointed.<\/p>\n

I was expecting a major revision in form factor since they\u2019d had two years to work on it. You know, a larger screen (just longer by a half an inch) was no big deal to me. LTE? I\u2019ve been using an LTE hotspot for a year and a half with Wi-Fi, so the fact the phone was gonna have it built in? Eh, no big deal. There was no Siri-like feature announced for the phone this year. I saw the iOS 6, the new software, the system. I saw it a month ago.<\/line><\/p>\n

I said, “No great shakes in this. This is obviously more a system upgraded where Apple\u2019s gonna separate itself from Google.” But I got the phone anyway \u2019cause, as you know, I\u2019m on the cutting edge. I\u2019ll tell you, there\u2019s nothing like that. It is a precision work of art instrument. It\u2019s got a processor in it that\u2019s twice as fast as the iPad. I\u2019m talking about processing power, not Internet speed, which is lightning fast anyway.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s twice as fast as any hand-held computer of any type out there. It is amazing. And you don\u2019t even feel it in your pocket. It\u2019s that light. It\u2019s that thin. This maps business? The CEO of Apple apologized today. He sent out a letter, an open letter to everybody apologizing for the maps fiasco. It\u2019s not that bad. Now, it is bad internationally, but it\u2019s not that bad. I\u2019ve played with it. I\u2019ve clicked on Siri and said, “Take me to such-and-such a restaurant,” and it did it.<\/p>\n

It gave me the address, showed me the directions turn by turn, and it was there. I haven\u2019t any problems with the maps. But it is bad in certain parts of the country. What\u2019s interesting to me is they knew it was that bad, and they released it — and that, they\u2019ve never done. Now, I understand that they had to make the break with Google at some point. I understand that. They could have told everybody, “Look, it\u2019s a beta. It has a long way to go.”<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t. They did the exact opposite. That\u2019s only thing I don\u2019t understand about this. The iPhone\u2019s cool. I thought it was not gonna be any big deal, and… (interruption) What\u2019s that? The 4S now, when I go back to it, the previous one, it feels like a rock. It\u2019s that heavy, and that much bigger, and it seems old. It\u2019s a good phone. It just seems slower. I\u2019d be disappointed if I had to go back to the 4S. I would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
