This complaint again.

In fact, I'd prefer the 3.5" screen. Smaller and easier design with better battery life.

This complaint again!

Why not a bigger screen and better battery life? Apple managed to put a CPU with "twice" the performance I'm sure they could figure a way to put a bigger screen and improve or at least not impact battery life.
 
BTW the innards of the 4S but a redesigned case is exactly what people wanted.
 
The iPhone is a status symbol. Believe it or not, a lot of people buy it to show off they have the latest and greatest. What differentiates the 4S from the 4? Nothing physically.

People have come to expect more from Apple and honestly, they shouldn't have released the 4S at all. Just push out iOS 5 on the old hardware.

Just like they shouldnt have released the iPhone 3GS and the 2nd generation iphone.......its Apples way of releasing the iphon unless you havent gotten the picture yet all of you who complain will also complain 2 years fom now when you are expecting the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 5S comes out
 
People wouldn't be complaining. It's amazing how people care more about how something looks and not how it performs.

It pretty much is the iPhone 5, it's just in the iPhone 4 case, which is fine since that case is awesome.

Why did people not moan when the 3G kept the same design? :confused:

But it's not in a new case, it's in the same one with the same screen and no 4G/LTE, NFC or anything else substantial.

Great update, yes. But not enough for the wait time and given the competition out there.

I am on Android now still waiting for the iphone to bring me back. Was really hoping this would be it because I do miss many iOS features, but the 4s didn't do it. Will likely be the next iteration which has an upgraded screen and 4G.
