I might write to apple and ask them to inspect my phone because it seems to be the only 3GS on the planet that isn't slow and has exactly the same performance as day one with all the upgrades apple have released as well!!!!! WHOLLY SHIT IT'S AMAZING!!!!!
- Lol! You totally should. I don't know a single 3GS owner whose phone hasn't turned into a slow piece of shit after update.Hombre_Lobo

so it's a shite version of the Galaxy. I expected as much.

As expected, minor upgrades, some you wouldnt notice, slight design difference. If you buy an iphone you basically have no need to buy another until like 3 more versions come out.

- man the new ipods are ugly.inteliboy
- the new ipod nano, exclusively at zellers!prophetone
- They're ugly and I agree that they're stupid to go on with this. Plus the round icons. Seems everything completely off.ESKEMA
- why are the icons different, why not make it consistent with ios'? i don't get it.prophetone
- Because things are starting to fall apart without Steve's eyes on everything...CanHasQBN
- and Apple will be reduced to a mediocre tech company.CanHasQBN

really disappointed. steve would have never approved this crap.
they didn't even bother changing the exterior (from what i can tell)... they just made it bigger. they should just call it the iPhone 4S-XL
i'm sick of the metal band around the phone. this whole look feels like it's been around for AGES.

I'm impressed so far
The phone still looks pretty sweet in that black and with the hardware upgrades its a shitload better.Why change the shell? First iphone didn't look much different to the 3Gs so why are people going to get so pissed off just because only minor differences occur in this new phone.
Its thinner, lighter, faster with a way better cam

Its just all minor stuff. The only thing that seemed like a semi-big deal to me is facetime over cell networks which I guess means I can do it with someone on a different kind of phone?
Everything else is all minor stuff you wouldnt miss if you never bought it. Just not worth it to me. Ill see how iphone 6 or 7 is and think about upgrading from the 4s then.

That adapter is pretty big to use any 30 pin accessories, clunky.

i am disappoint. i was hoping they were going to ditch the rectilinear design of the 4 and return to a more tactile shape like the 3g.
it's just an update.
i'll go check it out, see the heft, but from what i've seen here i'll probably stick with my old 3g and save a bundle on new battery packs/adapters etc etc
- if you are still on a 3GS you should get a new phone, either this one or another.ernexbcn
- Agree. you should definitely upgrade from the 3GS.mg33
- My 3GS works now better than when I bought it (iOS5 made it faster), gf's iPhone 1 looks and works as new.shaft
- not 3gs, just a 3g. it's slow but i love ithans_glib

Even though Apple totally played it safe with this release I'll probably end up getting the new phone.
iOS has been reliable and I'm already familiar with it.
The hardware will be a couple steps up from what I have now.
The front and back of my current phone are smashed to shit.Besides, I feel these last couple years or so have been more about evolution rather than revolution for all companies, not just Apple.
- except microsoft and nokia. ill prob stay with apple though. maybecraigatkinson
