iPhone 4S
 

Truly bizarre. I dont get the hype. What they expecting? Teleportation? Light speed?

The specs on the phone seem ok to me. Although a dual core phone is so last month. How long has the Motorola Atrix been out...Forget the tech and feel the hype.

I dont get the hype either, it doesnt enough new stuff or stuff that I want to use to warrant upgrading from my 3GS

Still I expect they'll sell loads due to people wanting to have the latest iphone...

Fixed! ;0)

Fixed Properly.

Re: iPhone 4S
 

I'll be getting one because I need another iPhone. The extra CPU power is always nice to have and there's nothing wrong with updating an old model. iPhone 4 is fine as it is and I don't thing too many will upgrade because it looks the same, so nobody will notice :)

I am a lot more excited about the iOS 5 and the Cloud than the new iPhone TBH.

Re: iPhone 4S
 

everytime they launch a "new" phone it is already outdated by the phone on my desk... an HTC.

over priced, over hyped load of old crap

Re: iPhone 4S
 

Likewise. My 3GS is still plenty good enough. There's no compelling reason to upgrade just yet.

Re: iPhone 4S
 

my 3gs died at AR, its been replaced by the iphone4 and an iphone 4 is what I'll have for the next 24months.
I fricking love my apple but I've no desire to jump on the latest handset - although I am a little smug now that I didnt wait for the iphone5 or 4s as its turned out to be.

To me this just says that the iphone5 must have something awsome on it, something they werent quite ready to release but having already failed to unveil something in they're normal July slot they felt a lot of pressure to produce something and so sorted this out, it would explain why its barely any different to the ip4 after a supposed 18months of development.

Pretty much echo all sentiments there, I'll end up with one as I have the keys to the corporate O2 account so will pass mine down but I'm more excited about the iOS, still not sure about the cloud just yet.

I don't reckon we will see an iPhone 5 this side of next summer, although one bit that does make me wonder is the cases for the supposed "5" before the event, a couple of different places ended up with a similar shaped device imprint, must be in prototype by now then.

But releasing it soon would undermine the sales of the 4S. Was surprised there weren't really any accessories released yesterday or anything else of note to talk about to try and big up the 4S. Maybe the Jobsian shoes are still a little too big.

My guess is that they've been focusing on the iOS more with all these extra features. Whatever they develop, it's going to be inside the iPad 3 and iPhone 5 but at the moment, like most have said, there is no need to upgrade the handset.

It makes sense for them to mass produce only one chip, the A5, since most of the components are now shared between the tablet and the phone and they are both on great demand.

IMO this wasn't even planned as a new product lunch but they took the opportunity to make some extra cash from those desperate to have the latest model while introducing the new iOS and iCloud.
