Hahahaha, holy shit. I can hear my boss in his office across the way, on the phone, saying that he has the iPhone 4G.

I bet you any amount of money if they called it the "iphone 5" there would be no discussion. Everyone is bugging out about the name. Who the hell cares what it is called. I bought the original iPhone then 3gs and now 4s. I was driven more by what was inside not how it looked but personally I think the design of the 4 is nice. I agree with everyone above. Do you really think they need to redesign it every year. Have you read about the technology thats inside of it? C'mon people FFS.

My 3GS runs perfectly. Literally perfectly.
Not interested in this siri shit and a better camera is nice but not needed. I'm due an upgrade at christmas so i'll probably get one then but anyone who pays full whack for one of these is either rolling in it or a serious cunt.

@CygnusZero4 it's not self reassurance "bro", I'm not even buying the thing because I own an iPhone 4. If I had a 3GS I would jump to it.
Common sense says you should skip one model. At this point, nothing the Android phones bring interest me and neither Windows Phone. Like I said earlier, iPhone 4 is still an amazing phone, 4S is even better, what's not to like?

^ I still predict the 4G or 4GS model in the next few months, followed by the 5 next year.
- I predict a new iPhone release every year.CyBrainX

I am fairly certain that Apple's stock will start to sink, considering the dissapointment of Apple's latest failure of a phone that does not even include the 4G network. Apple's competition now has a golden opportunity to pounce!

the big processor is a joke. I still have a 3GS and EVERY apps runs perfectly... nothing is slow or chunky... Apps developpers are not using the full potential of the processor in the iPhone 3GS yet... so having a A5 chip is worthless. It's like having a Lamborghini but always driving in the speed limit 30Km/h streets.
- They say Siri needs the A5 for speech processing, there are games too that can use it, just sayin'ernexbcn
- They also use it for video stabilization, etc.ernexbcn
- Cool self reassurance post bro. Trying to justify why it's not worth buying, when you know it is.CygnusZero4
- Apparently the processor speed allows downloads to happen faster while your phone is multitasking, for examplemonospaced
- And the difference between the speed of the 3GS and the 4 is easy to see.monospaced
- Install iOS5 and then come back... The 3G used to feel smooth.animatedgif
- My 3GS runs like pure shitfyoucher1
- Yeah I guess the iOS5 will start to kill my 3GSbenfal99

Feature creep, is the ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product, such as in computer software. Extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and so can result in over-complication rather than simple design. Viewed over a longer time period, extra or unnecessary features seem to creep into the system, beyond the initial goals.
The most common cause of feature creep is the desire to provide the consumer with a more useful or desirable product, in order to increase sales or distribution. However, once the product reaches the point at which it does everything that it is designed to do, the manufacturer is left with the choice of adding unneeded functions, sometimes at the cost of efficiency, or sticking with the old version, at the cost of a perceived lack of improvement.

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.

ok just watched this... I can't fucking WAIT to hear the stories about how naive twats who relied on Siri ended up with a shipment of dick - shaped lighters when they wanted Bic...or missed their appointment with Eleanor and were instead directed to the elephant museum. At the mo, voice recognition can't even reliable pick out the name Daniel.
But goddamn the camera looks like it has actually been improved. Wider aperture, improved iso and better optics. 8mp too.
The faster processor.. well I've never waited for anything to happen that wasn't bottlenecked by the internet

I'm hoping that ios5 has sorted out some of that absolute rubbish crap in their interface. But probably not- they've probably just made it more "user friendly" ie less customisable.

Personally I want some ripped muscle X to impress. Fuck this phone business.

What i'm curious about is how the entire world was talking about an iphone 5 when presumably a lot of people at Apple knew for a very long time that there was going to be no such thing today.
OR was it a last minute internal decision to call it a 4S?
OR did Apple purposely let us think there was going to be a 5.
thoughts?
I am actually disappointed, but only because i was looking forward to a nice bit of product design
- Why didnt they start at iphone 1, thats what I want to know!slappy
- I never thought it would be the 5. I figured the 4G for the network, but it's WAAAAY to soon to replace the 4 design.monospaced
- Agree with mono. Not for anything you are disappointed based on rumor sites and fan boys speculations.BozMan
- Also apple never said anything about an iphone 5. Lastly why should they deny every single claim or speculation? People like to talk and make things up.BozMan

it's technology! HELL! IT'S SCIENCE! but 100% of all people will never be happy with what is put in front of them, regardless.
I currently own an iPhone 4, and I will stick with it. The thing is solid and has proved it's worth 100x over. And if I owned an Android phone, I would be saying the same thing. People seem to forget that the smartphone has brought us so much that we never EVER had until a few years ago. It's insane.
In reality, the UI continues to get better as well as the hardware. Package that up into whatever clandestine shit-box you want and it will be golden. You can now twitter, find a place to eat, take notes, play games, chat with friends, email, like something on Facebook, take a photo/video, listen to a billion radio stations, create presentations, edit videos, create beats, get directions to the nearest doctor, find recipes, update blogs/sites etc. etc. etc.
Stop whining. The mother fucking future is here, and it sits in your fucking pocket. Love it now...before we are all overtaken by our super-robot phones of the future.
- I failed to mention that you can perform all those tasks anywhere! It's MOBILE!lvl_13

Wow, this thread brought out the retards.
It has nothing to do with how it looks. It's like expecting a major release, and only getting a point release. You know the 5 is going to be a huge release. Just like the 4 was to the 3GS.
I'm not saying I don't think the new hardware is bad ass. I'm still going to upgrade. I was just hoping for the caliber of a major release. Especially after not upgrading to the 4 about a year ago (hoping to see the 5).
But anything is going to be better than the piece of shit 3G running iOS 3.1.3 that I'm using now. :)

I'm feeling smug as i had a few friends that were waiting for a 5 so that they would have something newer and better looking.. like when i got a 4 and they still all had 3's.
ahhh smugness.

- Well they could get the 4s and kick the shit out of your non dual-core phone.soundsinsilence
