Hype for the iPhone 5 meets expectations

Nearly 5 years after the introduction of the iPhone, the iPhone 5 was released last week.

I am a huge fan of the iPhone and have owned every model to date. It was only right that I would camp out overnight to be one of the first people to get their hands on one.

After arriving a little past 3 a.m., I waited around five hours until the Apple store opened at 8 a.m. Even though I was extremely tired and exhausted by the time I made it into the store, it was well worth the wait when I got my hands on my brand-new 16GB white iPhone 5.

Although this was my first time camping out for an iPhone, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Not only is the iPhone 5 lighter, thinner, faster and bigger than its predecessors, but it is also much nicer.

However, the one thing I really enjoy about this model would have to be the panoramic camera and passbook app, which can store all of my Starbucks gift cards, boarding passes and movie tickets.

There is nothing that I don't like about the iPhone 5; it's perfect and I can't wait to do this all over again next year when Apple releases its successor.
