Since I wasn't eligble for full upgrade pricing, I'll see you guys in 2013 (I just can't bring myself to pay $449+). :(At least I'll have iOS 6, and since there aren't any exclusive features, no harm no foul.:cool:

Hopefully I can sell my iPhone 4S next year for a decent amount to have the iPhone 5s. The economics of this game I've been playing for 5 years certainly has changed. :eek:

Perhaps this will give me a chance to switch to Verizon for their superior LTE network.
 
I'm tired of being on the S cycle so I ordered the 5 on the "discounted iPhone upgrade" price. Got $300 for my 16 gb 4S and paying the extra 150 and tax out of pocket.
 
For s-version purchasers, I would hope so. But how soon would you think the 5s would be available? Not soon enough, IMO. But then, I may buy it anyway.....
 
I am also stuck on the "S" cycle, although the 4S was my first phone and I still love it. Money is a bit tight for me right now so I can't really justify buying the 5. It's nice but LTE is spotty at best in my area so even if I did buy the 5 I really couldn't take advantage of the LTE.

I hope those who do purchase the 5 enjoy it. I'll be purchasing the 5S ;)
 
I would have been on the "S" cycle too but i decided to just add another line for $10 more a month. Now once I get the new phone I'll get a nano sim for my existing line put the new line on a dumbphone and cancel the data. I think the $10 a month extra is worth it so be able to upgrade at full subsity every year. Especially when you consider the reasle value of the phones before I upgrade.

The S version will be superior to the 5. We all know that.

Well I would hope so since it comes out in a year...I'm sure the 6 will be superior to the 5S too :eek:

Bought a 4S for 199 last year and will be buying a 5 for 199 on friday
 
My 1st iphone was i4 two years ago , i didnt upgrade last year so this year is my turn :)

Then i ll skip 5s n go straight for the 6 or watever they ll call it :p
 
I'm happy with the "S" cycle. They fix issues like antennas and the "S" cycle gets the biggest hardware bump.

That spec bump seems to also hurt the battery. I have a 4S with pretty good battery life but its nothing like my 4 was. Wonder if that will happen again. I recall the same thing happening between the 3G and 3GS but not as severe.
