Do you think Apple will stop selling the iPhone 4S after the 6 comes out?

Best looking and most comfortable iphone ever. If I had black one that was somehow 100Gbs it'd be the perfect phone.

Only flaw is that it's incredibly fragile. One drop to a hard surface and it's toast.

I hate that silver band, The 4s is too short and too thick and heavy, and as you said fragile. Don't even get me started on the fugly bumpers and Otterbox cases the iPhone 4/4s is often seen in.

My iPhone 5 is perfect though. Metal, thin, light and perfect to hold. Mine is Black/Slate and looks like the monolith from 2001 (the movie).

Much better to me.

Iphone 5/5S is a better phone since it's more durable, but it's terrible looking IMO. Why split it into 3 sections on the back?

The back of the 4/4S and 5C look so great since it's all one smooth color.

Iphone 6 is also going to look awful to me. I doubt they will ever top the 4/4S or even 5C design.

Any iphone looks better than any other phone though

I agree about the durability, but we seem to disagree about the design. That's a matter of subjectivity and opinon though, so neither of us is right or wrong. It's just what we prefer over the other.

Apple split the phone into three sections (5/5s) because of the antennas. The top and bottom are glass and allow for passthrough for the radios.

In the 4/4S, the band is the antenna, because the back glass is blocking everything. Hence, "You're holding it wrong!"

The back of the 4/4S and 5C look so great since it's all one smooth color.

Again, we disagree.

Iphone 6 is also going to look awful to me. I doubt they will ever top the 4/4S or even 5C design.

IMO, they already did with the iPhone 5. The 5c is another model I hate. Plastic, no black. Call it premium if you want, but it's not metal.

Any iphone looks better than any other phone though

Depending on the viewpoint of the viewer, true.

I like the look of the 4S as well, and I don't mind the weight of it. It's funny, when the 4S was the premium phone, a lot of Apple fans were saying, "it feels solid, not like a lightweight plastic Android phone". Since the 5 launched, now apparently lightweight is a good thing.

A good case makes all the difference in terms of drops, btw. I have an Incipio case that I love on my 4S. I've dropped the phone on hard surfaces probably 8-9 times over the past 2 years and it still looks brand new (except for the crud in the speaker/mic grilles and 30-pin port on the bottom, lol)

I agree with sunapple. Finally Apple can stop selling devices that use the 30pin connector. And also get rid of the 3.5" display.

Technically they still sell the iPod classic.
It would be nice for all their iOS devices to use the same connector though.

Apple will be getting rid of the 4S. However if you have a 4S DO NOT UPGRADE to iOS 8, most likely it will be just as slow as an iPhone 4 on iOS 7

If they fix the garbage music player I will definitely update. Why you can't even change the settings is beyond me. It's annoying to scroll to what you want if an artist has a big discography. Why things are sorted by most recent year is also weird.

Itunes just decides randomly which artists get a photo and which don't even if the artist has a gallery in itunes they won't get a photo sometimes.

I don't think these things are purely related to the iPhone 4S. The Music app seems to have had a mind of its own for some time!
