iPhone 4S

[Willie Escalade]

I'm typing this with my iPhone 4 (irony!). What do y'all think of the features? Is it really an upgrade?

[LibertyHarkness]

ahhh man dont say that , i just had delivered my first iphone 4 yesterday lol now there is a new one lol

[BigDF]

ahhh man dont say that , i just had delivered my first iphone 4 yesterday lol now there is a new one lolI would have thought that by now Libby, you would have realized that anything electronic becomes obsolete as soon as you take possession of it. You want to feel bad, put yourself in my shoes. That iphone you have has more computing power and storage than my first desktop computer(IBM PS1, 512KB RAM, no internal disk):dancing::(

[Richctdude]

big disappointment not impressed at all

[Jennifer_English]

Bit gutted here too Libby as you know i only got my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago (broke both sides of the glass already!)

The only thing that would make me want to upgrade would be the 8MP camera...

[ashymon]

not really an upgrade, certainly not worth it in my opinion. I will stick with my iPhone4 for now, oh and of course my iPad2

This...except for the iPad part; I don't have one yet.

Same here...but I'm pretty sure someone I know will get the new phone when it becomes available. Not me though!

Just making me that much happier that I got my Galaxy SII a month ago.. big FAIL apple... :(

In what way, it still looks better than the plasitcy galaxy SII, it stil has a higher res screen than SII, its A5 processor is the same one thats in iPad2 and it beats SII by far in every test, as well as having a better camera.

Not to mention Apples integrated services/app store that are far better than anything Samsung/Google has to offer.

And yeah, SII wont be getting any updates in 3 years time, and iPhone will, like 3GS is getting iOS 5, while most older Samsungs are forever stuck in Froyo hell.

[LibertyHarkness]

i am enjoying my iphone 4 i got .. but then i like apple stuff as i have macbook etc :)

phone is a phone... camera is neat ,but i like the synced up mail now on my phone to my macbook and stuff ... i guess most people donteven use a smartphone to its full capactiy anyway ..

I m using SonyErickson Xperia Arc and is fucking great, not dual core yet but is pretty elegant and fast. Android is better in 2.3 version also by the way

SE is better than Samsung, but they are bleeding money, they wont last much longer with 1.2% marketshare...

Completely disagree, been an iPhone user since the day it came out. All putters Apple. The androids offer full customization of all applications and OS. If you don't like the email client pick out one that fits your needs. Don't like the built in email, go the app store and find one you like. The whole android software systems is superior to what apple has to offer.

The cameras are identical, the Samsung has a flash.

On-board storage, Samsung 16gb - 48gb with replaceable MicroSD. iPhone 3 choices up to 64gb all fixed no MicroSD.

Iphone 4s: download 14.4Mbps, and 5.8 Mbps up, Samsung: 21Mbps download, 5.76 up.

Battery life superior to the Samsung, 710 hours standby compared to 200 iPhone 4s, and the Samsung has a replaceable battery so if your going to be away from the charger bring an extra. Can the iPhone do that?

Screen, iPhone 4s wins with more pixels, but the Samsung is easily has the better looking screen.

Apple needed to step up big and define themselves the industry leader once again. They fell far short of that with a Iphone4 upgrade. They have handed the lead over to Google, and a handful of very innovative hardware manufacturers. They will become a novelty if they don't get off the stick.

They are good for a while.
Just because its an iPhone and thats better because its from apple and everyone has em... or so...

[justafreak]

I have verizon and held out from getting the iphone 4 back in February. so now my upgrade option is still an iphone 4 wtf! is it even 4g?

It gets 4G speeds, without draining the battery like insane

Lipstick on a PIG, and its a PIG, thats why all those android tablets have failed.




If you don't like the email client pick out one that fits your needs. Don't like the built in email, go the app store and find one you like. The whole android software systems is superior to what apple has to offer.

Android market software is in general of much lower qualaty than iOS, this is wy so few people are paying for it, even though it has a broader user base.

Do you want to bet the cameras will be identical in final image qualaty? Nothing beats Nokia N8 btw.

Iphone 4s: download 14.4Mbps, and 5.8 Mbps up, Samsung: 21Mbps download, 5.76 up.


Theoretical download speads dont work like that in real life... Plus why have SD cards when you have plenty of on board memory, plus iCloud, Bluetooth 4.

On 3G and 4G standby its not... in fact you got to turn stuff off if you want a battery to last you a whole day. Your manipulating the stats again.

Thats why its replacable, beacaouse its just inferior, and you really need to change it with something thats charged.


Plus the screen is just with more saturated color settings, and thats not quality, Samsung does it on all its products. Its way off proper color calibration.

I guess it'S still being assembled in asian sweatshops under slave-like conditions. So no upgrade there.

[kylieam1]

[OmarZ]

OmarZ STFU and stop sucking Apples dick.

Im not, in fact i have a new samsung galaxy sii phone, a samsung led monitor and a samsung led tv...

...and they all have problems, lousy customer service,...



im actualy waiting for nokia to come out with windows phone 7.5 stuff, and then make a switch


Nokia N9 is the best looking, most well thought of smartphone ever... and with a great Windoes Phone 7.5 OS, Nokia's new phones will blow away android, and force Apple to work harder.

I found what looked a great Steve Jobs tribute last night on my iPad. Went to watch it and was denied, flash format. Really? RIP Mr. Jobs.. there's no flash in Heaven.
