LMFAO. "4s seen outselling the iPhone 5" actually stems from this quote:
Some of our Chinese sources do not expect the iPhone 5 to do as well as the iPhone 4S,
It's a ****ing guess. From SOME Chinese people. What a joke.
Last year's 4s unveiling in China was pandemonium, there was a mini riot!
The just unveiled i5, they say only 2 customers were in line... truly sad for Apple.
Coincidence? Some other variables?
Maybe the Chinese is been monitoring this site and been scared away!

Because the 5 is in heavy demand and until recently it was exceedingly difficult to get one. Say what you want but Apple is just counting the billions of dollars raking in. Pretty much the only reason retailers like best buy and walmart are offering discounts is because they want you to buy accessories with it, they figure "hey we can pocket the $50 or so by just persuading them to buy accessories with it, or they will see something else they want in the store", aka attracting more attention.
How is that sad for apple? There is a reservation system set up this year to prevent the riots that occurred with the 4S.

Makes sense.
Retailers selling the iPhone 5 for as slow as $120?
Either
A) iPhone 5 isn't selling as well as Apple thought it would
B) iPhone 5S coming sooner rather than later
C) Both
5 is not a big upgrade over 4S. It's really ho hum. Huge technology and engineering in the device, but from an end user perspective, it's really mediocre.
4S's 4G network speed already surpasses most broadband.
4S's dual core CPU is a monster that nothing taxes.
It fits in your hand better and easier to use than the tall phone design.
Has lots of accessories compatible with it.

I agree. Most people really take LTE as a big deal. Unless you're on CDMA carriers, GSM networks' HSPA+ download speeds, more often than not, are already more than sufficient for normal day-to-day usage.
Some of them just want the half-inch bigger screen as well.
I think the biggest difference in 4G and LTE is that upload speeds on LTE can be several times that of 4G. If you tether you laptop and upload photos or data, the the difference is big. But I agree not much difference for upload speeds.
