to pay the upgrade fee or not... 4S -> 5, that is the question.

looks nice but I think I still want the lumia 920 more.....

vas25tl

Pre-ordering 4 on Friday, switching all of our 4's to the 5's. Pumped!

I dunno if its just me, or that i have high expectations for apple. But I think they blew it with the 5...

If you found the 4/4s amazing, i'm sure you'll find this just a bit better. Its more like a 4ss.

The next gen iphones. OG Iphone, Iphone 3G, Iphone 4, were all revolutionary.

The 5, larger screen, LTE, ltl faster, better camera. Basically the same differences between the 4s and 4.

Dont get me wrong i'm not completely bashing, i mean their product is still more put together than Android.

My point is this is more like a 4ss, not a 5.

speedemon90

this or the new nexus phones (i hope they're good)

doopstr

With each new phone it is getting harder to impress people.

jupitersolo

This release will be just fine with millions and millions of current users. YOU just want something different to play with. The upgrades you mention are the one's that people wanted with the 4/4s. Now they are here, it's not enough different for you.

cM3go

Surprised they still haven't fixed this...

Black Tire

They didn't even try to give the iPhone 5 a new name. I wonder if they'll create a new name for iPhone 6 when it comes out in 4 months?

speedemon90

this is true, goes with android phones too, since the galaxy nexus nothing has impressed me, not even the GS3 since to me that has a whole bunch of useless features...
it is true. Apple has a very strong support base, kinda like honda. Look at the civic, even though its pretty shitty now they're still able to sell 25k of those a month.

Thing is, a lot of the people in the iOS ecosystem that never ventured out, will also think a lot of these things are new and cool. For example turn by turn, tab syncing and so forth. Things that have been out in the industry for a long time.

cM3go

I'm pretty confident the next iPhone will be the iPhone 5S.

jupitersolo

You need to give people a little more credit. And a "long time" has only been about 12-18 months.

TeknoKing

If you have a 4, I see a point to upgrade, 4S? not so much...

srika

I really can't believe all the people saying it's not that big a difference over the 4S. Did they even read the specifications??? I've spent the past 30 minutes bickering with some dolt on facebook who started it off with "same phone, bigger screen".

Seems to happen any new version of anything is introduced these days.

srika

That is arguable for sure. The question is "can I get by with the 4S"? And the answer is, of course you can. Just as you also can with any other previous model of anything else. Let me ask you a question, what specs would it have taken on the 5, for you to say, without a doubt, that the phone is definitely a brand new phone and different "enough" compared to the previous model? Think about it.

speedemon90

haha... like me

I guess its the small things that count. I do really like how the new dock can go in either way. I hate plugging in my phone at night haha with the lights off.

I will give them this... if they really did improve the battery WITH LTE, that is hands down a HUGE accomplishment.

TeknoKing

I have the 4, so for me 100% there is a point to upgrade, it's better in every category.

for 4S... with 5 you get slightly faster processor, larger screen, slightly better front camera, and a promise of LTE?

As much as I like what the 5 offers, moving from my 4S isn't justifiable.

my favorite quote from the presentation.

It went something like this.

"the ear pods are designed to direct sound into the ear"

Mizouse

Damn work

Whiskers

Preorder in 2 days here.

jupitersolo

Well considering they actually researched this pretty well and came out with a set that has three openings to hear the sound better....

jupitersolo

A promise?? With Verizon it's there.

Mizouse

This is actually useful, they use sapphire to cover the faces of watches to prevent scratches.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

hmm...do i go with the 16gb or 32gb?

i still have a ultra crappy 3GS 8gb so anything is an upgrade from this.

speedemon90

right... but is it necessary to point out that they designed this to put sound in the ear. I mean where else do you want it to go??

TeknoKing

oh yeah, you can get 100mbps? And with 3G you were getting 45mpbs? Aren't you a computer geek - you should know better!

speedemon90

if you take lots of pics, go with the 32.

speedemon90

Even though it may look similar, i really love the aluminum back. And the black version just looks sooo nice. And damn this thing is thin, look how much thickness the headphone jack takes up.. basically the whole thing!

Whiskers

Ill go 32 I think.

jupitersolo

OK, I see you're just being "geeked" in your statement.

jupitersolo

I agree, at least 32, if you take a lot of pictures @ 8mb per, it will fill fast. I have about 2600 pictures on my 4 @ 5mb each, I have less than a GB with 32GB phone. I'll be opting for a 64gb upgrade.

Whiskers

Will trade in my Iphone 4s for a new Ipod touch for my son and some accessories.

Mizouse

I'll have to read about it later...

jupitersolo

Touch looks very nice, all but a cell signal.

jupitersolo

Think I have an answer for you
