i did speak to one woman who said she was waiting outside the flagship store on fifth avenue for 14 hours. get this only to find out the phone she was waiting for had sold out. she then came here. said she actually had to take two days off work in anticipation of getting the iphone 5s. i said what are you going to do when you get the phone in your hand? she said she does not want to be bothered and will sleep. the nypd setup shop outside here encouraging people to reg stir their iphone 5s. theft is ramp and the in new york. i m a geeky guy, what they call an earlier doctor. but i can wait a week. what s up? did you ask her, why? reporter: i m sorry. i m having trouble hearing you guys. did you ask her why she would take a couple days off work and all these people standing out there for hours and hours and hours and hours?
first things first. how do we decide a if we need to do it and what do we need to know before we get the upgrade? obviously it will work on the new iphone 5s, 5s and the 5c coming out. if you have a 4, you might want to hold out and wait. a lot of times a new ios needs more power. if you don t have enough horsepower, you might end up with everything running slow. should you back up your device? absolutely. you should always back up everything. i installed it last night. and it took about an hour to get all my pictures back. i m still having issues with my music. it started fresh. that experience may be different for other people. you definitely want to back up everything because you could
time for apple. they usually stagger these throughout the year and we re at this time in apple s life where we re wondering whether they can stave off increasing competition from google s android platform and from rivals like samsung which use that platform and so it is interesting to see at this point what they re doing and whether what they re doing is going to work. i have two breaking news e-mails that day from usa today. apple announces iphone 5c and nine minutes later apple announces iphone 5s. does it seem like a bit much in terms of coverage even if it is fair and balanced coverage, just sheer volume of it. these are big events but iphone hasn t had enormous overhaul in quite some time. to still see this kind of coverage now, does it seem like a bit too much for you? i wouldn t have sent you two
