iPhone 3G refers to it having 3G data. The iPhone 3GS was the third iPhone. iPhone 4 was the fourth. iPhone 4S is the fifth. The iPhone next year will not be called the iPhone 5, it'll likely be called the iPhone 6. iPhone 5 was a name that the rumorazzi created. Doesn't exist. Nor will it after the 4S, as it'd make no sense. That'd be like the iPhone 4 being called the iPhone 3.

 

By who's thought, PC World, that

The GS2 is also a security nightmare.

 

says who? link? I wanna see.

thx

 

just realized you can tap on the word 'hourly' that is visible just under the city name and it accomplishes the same thing.

Show me something that says otherwise

 

thats just... gotta be.. wrong.

 

I agree. I think it'll be the iPhone LTE or 6 depending on how fast ATT can roll out LTE.

Yum did get an iPhone 4s with a customized Siri that sounds like LeBron. Here's the case:



:ib6000winseasonor4thqtrmeltdownjokesthatareoldert hanmygrandma:

 

I think it's hilarious how ESPN ranked LBJ as the #1 player WHAT A JOKE

 

Mid model makeover. 07-08 TLs are still 3rd gens, right? Same thing.

I expect the next phone to be called the iPhone 5.

 

the model name thing is semantic at this point, IMO

 

^Agreed. Just saying though. Lol

 

hey its not just you, people have been talking about it for pages lol

 

Again, that'd mean the iPhone 4 should have been called the iPhone 3. The next one will be iPhone 6...

 

Generation 1
iPhone

Generation 2
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS

Generation 3
iPhone 4
iPhone 4S

Generation 4
iPhone 5

Apple obviously named the 3G for just that reason, it had 3G, not because it was the third generation iPhone. But in my opinion they set a precedent by doing so. From now one they will either continue to go in order or will stopping putting numbers in the model name completely. iPhone LTE, iPhone Ultralight or whatever. You get the point.

But I'd put $50 on it being called the iPhone 5. Why? Because the average dumbass doesn't haven't to know what we know. He knows lasts years was 4, so this years is 5.

Ever wondered if the other manufactures did the same thing, they would have a higher upgrade percentage? I do. Let's see. Samsung Galaxy, cool. Nexus, cool. Samsung Galaxy Nexus? Really? And I'm in the know...

 

I'm not sure where you came up with those generation categories. The 3G, 3GS, 4, and 4S are all separate phones. Similar, but separate.

1) iPhone
2) iPhone 3G
3) iPhone 3GS
4) iPhone 4
5) iPhone 4S
6) iPhone 6

Makes no sense to have the 6th variant of the iPhone be called the iPhone 5. As you said, they've set a precedent. I don't think they'll stray from the numbering nomenclature as they use it for other products- Mac OS X, iOS 5, etc. Its simple and doesn't confuse people like other manufacturers' branding can.

 

Who cares? Why not wait till the phone comes out :troutslap

 

 

Older than your gramma...but, still great jokes.




And no, that case is terrible. I don't want to be sporting Xmas colors year-round.

 

I agree with this. the "S" models were just upgraded models of the same generation.

 

I feel that way too, but then why call iPhone 4, iPhone 4?

The 4 means what? Why pick 4 if it's not the 4th generation / 4th iPhone to be released?

 

It should be that the reason for this 'problem' is because there was no iPhone 2. And there was no iPhone 2, because they wanted to name it 3G, because of the new 3G network support. End of story.

 

Hey guys, had the Iphone 4s for a week now. I've had BB, droid, and an HTC.

The Iphone4s is simply the best all around phone. As far as raw power droid does have a slight edge, but what's the point of hp if you can't lay it down...?

Not one manufacturer can touch apple in terms of fit, finish, "clean", and refinement of usage.

I am not an apple fanboy, it's actually the only piece I own from the manufacturer, but for $200, it is simply amazing! Processing speed is insane and there is no waiting, unlike my useless BB. I looked at other phone features but the package apple offers is just untouchable.

My only gripe is battery life, I have extended it a bit figuring out to change settings so it doesn't drain but all powerful phones are so ahead of outdated battery technology. Once wireless charging catches on and prices go down for the technology, I hope it gets added to mobile devices.

I highly recommend the phone for those looking to update, it will not disappoint.

 

Well, 4 in -ese can mean "death". You know, how we avoid the number 10 and 4 like the plague?


Yeah, so, I think that's what it means. And you can't argue with me cuz the iPhone Death is made in China. So, it's death.

A little late but Ken if you're looking for a phone with a portrait keyboard then why not the dell venue pro?

Yes.

But if the 3G S is considered 2nd (or even 2.5) generation then the iPhone 4 should NOT be called the iPhone 4.




This discussion is so stupid...

 

Seriously, who gives a fuck?

 

blah and more blah.. Dev-Team is making us wait, I'm not happy..more blah and blah.

 

wow, miraculous.

 

ok. contact apple and ask them to rectify the situation.

 

Yes. Because they really care.

 

Well, it is the 4th iTunes phone since everyone here doesn't seem to have a damn hobby.

 

+1. I don't get what's difficult to understand about it. 1,2,3,4,4,5? Also, 1+1=11.

 

damn, the Mayans were right.

 

Well if jobs was around then maybe they'd care. He'd just respond w/ a 1 word response thou.

Dunno how Tim Cook handles email....

 

Hey thanks. I felt like I was swimming upstream for a minute there.

Like I said, the 3G would have been the iPhone 2 except they decided to call it 3G for the 3G connectivity. That move forces them, marketing wise, to keep the ticker going up. Like said above in a smartass way, 1+1+1+1+1=5. So 3"G"+1 = 4 + 1 = 5.

 

Not explaining why that isn't correct again.

Ask Siri.

 

Can anybody recommend a good receipt scanning app? I've tried out genius scan and jotnot. Just curious if there are better ones out there.

 

Ok is it just me or is this no longer an option? When taking a picture with the phone I was always able to tap the screen and the little slide bar would show to where I can zoom in or out. Now it WILL NEVER show up. I've tried many different times and I can never get that fucking zoom bar to pop up, so I can never zoom in to take pics. WTF
