iPhone 5: The True User Experience
Firstly, I’d just like to say:
I’M BACK.
Not that it really has any impact on any of you, but I just thought I’d let you know. I’ve just been busy with exams, moving house, planning vacations (you know, the important stuff…), and yes, I know it’s not really an excuse, but I’m gonna use it as one anyway.
So, what I wanted to discuss today was the experience that people are having with their iPhone 5s so far. Please leave comments at the end of this, talking about how you’ve found your new iDevice to handle through it’s initial release period. I’m not just talking about iOS 6 here, I’m talking about the hardware, too, such as the screen resolution, and the ‘noticeable’ speed improvements on the processor.
If you want to see what I’ve found, read more.…

XT’s bonus top up credit ends, everything’s gonna be 33% more
Since the 13th October 2009 any Telecom XT prepaid mobile customer that topped up would receive an additional bonus credit depending on how much you topped up. That bonus credit equated to around 33% of the top-up value and really made a difference to your balance, especially if you topped up with $60 and got $80. This has now ended (as of Feb 1st) and has been replaced with a new promotion called TOPUP & WIN. But is it any good? Read on.…

For the love of God, don’t use your iPhone on Air New Zealand’s new Airbus flights
There’s a reason your iPhone has an ‘airplane mode’: to protect yourself from this kind of nonsense. According to a story in The Herald today, Vodafone and Air New Zealand have announced a new service which will allow passengers on domestic flights using the new black Airbus A320′s to use their mobile phones on-board, in-flight.

Do you really need a voice plan? Answer: no
If you’re using an iPhone in New Zealand, you probably have a voice plan that you pay your carrier a pretty sum for every month. Despite the ‘free’ minute allocation they include, the average price per minute still makes voice calling a costly exercise. The iPhone, however, with it’s fast data speeds and ability to install third party apps, opens up options that can dramatically reduce the price of calling. If you’ve not looked into this, read on and your next phone call might well be to your carrier to have your voice plan cancelled. …

Ask iPhonewzealand: How much will FaceTime cost to use over 3G?
FaceTime, FaceTime, FaceTime! Unless you have just moved to Earth from outer space you will know that this is Apple’s new video calling service. Compatible FaceTime devices thus far are the iPhone 4, the iPod touch 4th Gen and (as of last week) any Mac with a camera running Snow Leopard.
Aside from the odd launch hiccup and Mac security bug which has now been fixed, we at iPhonewzealand could not be more impressed with FaceTime. The only downside is talking to people with FaceTime uses data, but how much does it use? and what is a call going to cost you to make or receive? Carry on reading to find out.…
