New iPhones release: Southwest Florida reaction

Huy Nguyen, 18, of Fort Myers, was checking out the new iPhones on an in-store digital display at the Best Buy at Page Field Commons.
“It does look like it’s a completely new phone,” he said of the iPhone5S.
He just purchased the iPhone5 three days ago and isn’t sure if he’s going to upgrade. But Nguyen said the graphics on the new phone look better and he’d probably play multi-player games on it.
He was also impressed by the speed.

“Twice as fast is crazy,” he said.
New Apple products and iPhones tend to cause a lot of excitement at Best Buy, said Bradley Weston, the store’s manager. He expects the lower price point will help, too.
“I do anticipate additional foot traffic and increased excitement,” he said.
And he thinks the colors will help the iPhone be competitive with other smart phones – especially among female shoppers.
Troy Barker, 28, of Lehigh Acres, said he prefers Android products. He currently has the Galaxy S4.
“They change one little thing and come out with a new phone,” he said about the hype surrounding Apple’s phones.
But Ty Jackson, 37, of Cape Coral, said this might be the time to upgrade his iPhone4S. He’s noticed his phone running slow, which he said is to be expected after having it roughly two years.
Although a lot of people are switching to Android phones – and he himself had an Android at one point – Jackson said he prefers the Apple product.
“The simplicity of this phone, I can’t get past it,” he said.
He’s going to do some research on the new product and decide if it’s time for an upgrade because “I’m ready,” he said.
