And you know why they don't Appreciate it??


Because these are the same people that have been TOTALLY SURE and Betting their Houses on a IPHONE 5 and a total redesign that was never a fact, only a rumor!! These are the same people that have been rude and condescending to the rest of us when we didn't think there was a Redesign coming and that there was NO IPhone 5.

Now, Who's looking foolish??

Let the Temper Tantrums begin...





Okay, so all you haters and whiners,
You don't appreciate the A5 chip which, as proven, mashes up all the competitors' CPUs,
You don't appreciate the new camera, which is as good as the best Android phones,
You don't appreciate the new clever antenna system which makes 4G speeds, without 4G,
You don't appreciate the new awesome Siri voice assistant,
You don't appreciate the extended battery life,
You don't appreciate the fact that it is a world phone.

JUST BECAUSE IT HAS NO NEW CASE! IT STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL EVEN TODAY, AND I STILL FIND IT THE BEST DESIGN OF A SMARTPHONE!
 
buying one ASAP.
SOLID UPGRADE!

Re-designed iPhone was just a pipe dream based on a bunch of baseless rumors.
Apple will probably update their design every two generations.

I absolutely concur. Glad to see some people here are still within reason.
 
As long as Apple doesn't go to a larger screen, they aren't getting my cash.

The engineering bumps are impressive, but the jailbreak on my phone gives me more than enough to tide me over to the next phone.

Better luck next time, Apple.
 
pathetic iphone4s

15 months for that?

really wait for this long enough yet d iPhone 4s is total disaster, as inner beauty is perfect made yet d outside design is so yesterday (stone age) with 3.5 inch screen is outdated even they (apple) think no one can compete as i was having ipad2 when my friends was iPhone 4 compare is d screen just too small for gaming n viewing still they having full hd recording just useless as u can't see clear details n for edit photo well i won't ask my friends to upgrade just wasting money , all our hope was thinner ,larger screen , resolution are not there , my opinion i think they make big mistake wish steve jobs were here to make things better for d aging iPhone 4 concept plssss save d iPhone
 
found this on the zagg case website...

"The first rumor – iPhone 4S or iPhone 5?

Our prediction: we can’t decide.
The team is split right down the middle on this one. Half of our team believes there will be just an iPhone 5 released, and half the team believes there will be an iPhone 4S and an iPhone 5 released. No one thinks there will be nothing but an iPhone 4S ..."

HA!

Nice move Apple!
 
I like it, if my contract wasn't up 'till next june I'd get one. Don't know why everyone is moaning, all of the iPhone upgrades have been incremental. Apart from the fist one obviously, it was a huge upgrade for anyone that got one.
 
So, now all of you who absolutely promised that there will be redesign get in line and wash out your mouths with soap.
 
This is really just like when the 3GS Came out back in 2009, it didn't appeal greatly to current 3G users of the time, but it did appeal more to users of the original iPhone. This upgrade is essentially aimed at people who never bought the "4" and kept the 3G or 3GS. In which case this is a fairly substantial upgrade for users of them iPhones.

LOL I still use my 16 gig iPhone 3G in white LOL, extremely slow, but bought a 32 gig iPad last year and have used that for the majority of things, just now my 3G's battery is diminishing tis time for an upgrade.:D
 
So, they announced that the new update to the nano offers Nike+ compatibility for tracking walks and runs no longer requires a dongle that was part of an accessory kit sold separately. The updated nano is now capable of tracking distance traveled, pace, time and more out of the box.
However, I really wish they would have made the same compatibility features part of the new iPhone 4S.
:(
 
So with no upgrade for my verizon account available, until 2012 this is kind of sucks.

verizon is not about to allow early upgrades so I guess I won't be getting one of these with them.

I do have aan upgrade with ATT but I really didn't want my secondary back up line to have the newest model.

Since they are not interchangeable, I guess I am stuck unless I use the att upgrade and then transfer 4S over to Verizon and then put the original phone 4 back on ATT. That may work but it may not.

Either way sucks that they did this in kind of a mid contract period for all the new verizon transfree's!
 
Buying one for sure. I am not at all disappointed.

But it does make you wonder, 'coz something's not right. Apple's the biggest tech company in the world, with gobs of money and resources. They overshot their release cycle, and they have exactly ONE phone that they toss all their efforts into. It does seem a little lacking given the resources.

I'm wondering if the the whole Steve thing hit the company in the gut harder than it looks from the outside.
 
No... please, don't! Those fine folks at Apple have kids to put through school.. to feed. If you won't buy it, who will?

Oh that's right.. millions of people.

Better luck next time.

Please go back to school. Your grammar is horrible. I can't understand a word you just wrote.
 
Most will likely not agree but this is not such an "amazing" improvement after almost 2 years. Where's the removable memory? Will this never make it to an iOS product? Seriously? I'm on my 4th iPhone and it may be my last.
 
Disappointed to say the least

What was Apple thinking? They could have issued all this in a press release. Its just a refurbished iPhone 4. Still a 3.5 NANO-SIZED SCREEN. I firmly believe Steve stepped down so as not to be on-stage and embarrassed by this event. No wonder it was held on the Apple Campus. A larger event with more people sitting in stunned silence at this sham would have really shook up the technology world. How awlful. I waited forever for a new iPhone not the same design!:eek:
 
I wonder if they made any phyical changes to the proximity sensor. My iPhone 4 had proximity sensor issues when I got it. The screen would come on every time I was on a call. Apple released an update that improved it greatly, but the screen still turns on occasionally.
