I'm very surprised at how many of my friends are so thoroughly excited about the 4S. I've got maybe 10 people in my Facebook feed talking about how they can't wait to upgrade from their iPhone 4 when it appears to be more or less the same phone - Mildly improved camera and a few new stock features that were already available through apps.
Dual Core Chip - Great if there is a need for it - More intensive applications and such. I've not heard of any iPhone4 user complain about responsiveness.
8MP camera instead of 5 - Improvement, but worth the money? The friends I have seen blabbering about how awesome the upgrade will be use it primarily for Hipstamatic and instagram.
1080p recording - Boastful, but I have not seen one of my friends record a video on their phone.
It is quite a pathetic update seemingly. Anywhere I can find the cliff notes version of new features in iOS5. Is iOS5 coming to the iPhone4 as well? If I were an iPhone4 user and they decided to make it redundant after a year in the market I'd be royally pissed off.

Personally, I was expecting something special, otherwise I would have just bought a 4 over a year ago.
The difference is that there is so much hype going on for so long that they needed something special. I am sure it is a great phone, and I love my first gen iPhone (I get my money's worth!), but my patience has not paid off (again).
When's those Nokia Windows phones coming out?? Prettier graphics will do just fine now.

so it's still 3G?
- Yes. But GSM + CDMA in the one phone now, instead of separate versions.Nathan_Adams

“Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with the best first weekend sales ever in China,” Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, said in a press release. “China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products.”
They sold 2 million in the opening weekend. In China.

That article is a load of bollocks by the way.
When you install google maps it pops up a very large message which asks you if you want to let them take your information, it also tells you that you can turn it off at any point. So you chose in the very beginning to give them the information or not.

i love how its the people who dont have one who do all the complaining. Just spent 2 minutes outside and the 5's camera is fine.
Its a lot better than the red blob thing that happened on my 4 everytime i shot something bright... seen a thousand pics like it too, but noone seemed to be crying about that:

let's sumarize:
1. iOS sucks balls, maps take you into a river and is basically maybe a great mapping solution for Mars.
2. Wifi issues
3. Camera purple hues
4. New adapters (happy shopping)
5. Scratches when you blow on it
6. Both OS and the phone are basically the same as previous versionsGO BUY IT! And then tell yourself it's all gonna get fixed.
- Does it really matter? All the Apple robots bought it anyway. We can bitch here all day, wont change anything.CygnusZero4

iPhone = complain
Windows Phone = complain
Andoird = complainApparently nothing is good enough, but also...none of us can solve it.... but secretly we're all so amazing that we could if we wanted to.
