Time Magazine has just released its usual Top 10 gadget list for the year 2012 and theres no surprise of who managed to take the first spot. Its Apple, of course, and its iconic freshly released iPhone 5. The list includes some other Apple gear as well and it leaves out other seemingly popular pieces of technology. The magazine explains in a very flattering way why the iPhone 5 deserved the number 1 spot:
The iPhone 5 is one of the most artfully polished gadgets anyones ever built, with a taller screen than previous iPhones built into a thinner, lighter case. The camera, with a particularly well-done panorama mode, is another highlight.
Coming in at number 2, we find the Nintendo Wii U gaming console. At number three we have a very interesting camera released by Sony, that although doesnt look to be capable of taking professional photographs, it beats expectations and performs incredibly. Oddly enough, we dont find in the top Samsungs latest achievement. The Galaxy S III did not make it in the Time top apparently.
Instead, we find the tablet-smartphone hybrid the Samsung Galaxy Note II that took the 8th spot. However, Harry McCracken, who wrote the article, describes the S III as being nifty. Apparently, that wasnt enough for the author to include it. Instead, he chose to add to the top innovative devices such as the Nest and Simple.TV. 2012 comes to an end we expect many more tops like this to emerge around the web and Apple will be, of course, part of them.
