One Device

If I could only bring one device to school, it would undoubtedly be my iPhone 5. The iPhone is the most accesible, easy to use device that will connect you to pretty much anything.

The reason the iPhone 5 appeals to me so much is its accessibility. Just on my cellphone, I have email, Facebook, Twitter, the Pingree app, Youtube, games, internet browsing, Google Drive, music, and more, all in my pocket. I prefer the iPhone over my iPad because it is much smaller, so I don't have to take it out of my backpack to use it. The iPhone is perfect for day to day school life because its small, contains everything I need, and unlike laptops, has 4G (internet everywhere).

Let's talk about specs. The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch (diagonal) widescreen Multi-Touch display, with much more screen real estate than its predecessor, the iPhone 4s. The phones front facing camera shoots in 1080p while the back facing camera shoots 720p. The iPhone 5 also features the ability to take panorama photos. It has a built in rechargeable lithium-ion battery that I will admit, does not last as long as users would like. The phone features Apple's new "Lightning Charger" which is much easier to use than the previous charger. The screen displays beautiful graphics and is very responsive.

What are some of the cons of the iPhone 5? Well for starters, the price. If you have an upgrade available with your current cell provider, it will probably cost you around $100 or more. On top of that you have to pay monthly fees, and with any service provider it will cost you at least $25 a month for limited data access. The iPhone is also not very durable. I went out and bought an Otterbox protective case for mine, which does the job, but adds a considerable amount of bulk to the phone. 

In the end, the pros of the phone far outweigh the cons. The iPhone can connect me to anything anywhere, and is the perfect tool for school.
