December 12, 2023

The iPhone is a device that has become a worldwide sensation. It has changed the way we live and communicate. It was introduced to us over ten years ago. It has evolved since its first launch. From being a simple phone it has transformed into a symbol of status and a fashion statement with its sleek elegant design.

Apple introduces new iPhone models every year. With all innovative features that draw people’s attention. It offers a variety of apps for your every need. One feature that stands out is iCloud backup which is very convenient in case of a lost or stolen phone. They ensure that the user’s data remains secure.

To gain insight into why people are so drawn to iPhones, I spoke to three users from different parts of the world. I also talked to a student without an iPhone and a student who switched from Android to iPhone.

Chiara from Peru says the iPhone is a very common product in her country. She appreciates its camera quality, especially for connecting with her family through Facetime.

Serenity is from the area and favors iPhones over Samsung. She emphasized how reliable it is and how the camera quality is superior to Samsung.

Jessica from Africa made the switch to iPhones due to how popular they got in her country. She now receives a new iPhone every two years.

I talked to Santi from Venezuela who has an Android and appreciates how easy it is to use. He also talked about the price difference and how it’s not as popular in his country.

Last I talked to Erik from the area. He recently switched to an iPhone from Android. He made the switch because of all the jokes he was getting from his phones. The jokes were mainly about the camera quality and how bad it is.

These stories have proved that the iPhone is not just a phone. It has become a global trend. Not only do they offer reliable and cool features but they create a sense of connection among users worldwide.

The mall will be closed throughout the weekend until further notice. The explosion happened near the food court where Friskey Cream was affected with minor damage. Penny Dreadful was also affected but only had minor damage as well.

During a interview with the on duty cop she stated that she was on the other side of the mall when she heard the explosion. She said “I thought there was a shooting so I quickly escorted people out to safety”. The food court custodian Isabelle heard the explosion while on duty. She said she heard the explosion and didn’t have time to process what was happening. She was terrified as nothing like this has ever happened to her.

Morningside News Analysis

December 5, 2023

The article I chose is about Morningside University’s Choir. On Tuesday, November 14th Morningside’s Choir received the top honor for a small program. Since they won The American prize the choir will receive a physical award and a financial award as well.

I think this is newsworthy as a student at Morningside it’s good to keep up with what’s happening around campus. This is news for the Morningside community. It updates us on the choir and how great they are doing this year. In the article it states that The American Prize National Nonprofit Competitions is the nation’s most comprehensive series of contest in the performing arts. This organization recognizes the best performing artists and directors. I think its important for us to recognize the choir as they don’t get much recognition.

Readers will gain knowledge on the Morningside choir and their accomplishments.

Morningside could gain more students in the choir department. They could also gain more fans as the choir department has some events coming up like Christmas at Morningside.
