I love tech and just got my first iPhone too and came from android. I gotta say though ICS looks awesome. But we are probably 6 months out before it is on any hardware I want. I am not impressed by the Galaxy Nexus. I was looking more for a gs2 with a better screen and it just isn't that.
So for now I am really very happy with my 4S.

Double post.
Double post.
iCloud is one of the major features of iOS 5, able to sync calenders and files wirelessly. Google had that feature a long time ago. So don't pretend Apple isn't copying from Google also.
By now anyone who knows tech shouldn't still be arguing about who invented what. Apple has a track record of making many ideas much better if not perfecting them, IE Xerox's PARC to the Rios MP3 player.
This...
Its like complaining that Facebook stole the idea of a social networking site. yah maybe they did, but guess what... they did it best so its top dog.
if you truly want malware, poor battery life, carrier-shovelwearism, poor constructed plasticky phones... and overall horrible customer service you can go back to Android...
Bored. How pathetic some people are to be bored with a cell phone that has thousands of times more computing power than all the computer systems that put the first man on the moon.
OP, the solution is simple..... time to move on. Android sounds like the perfect platform for you, you can re-create the user experience as many times as you want/can find that custom perfect working ROM.
I just recently switched from Android after nearly 3 years of usage, and before then it was nearly 3 years if windows mobile. I loved cooking roms for my windows mobile phones, and I loved flashing roms on my android devices..... but eventually I wanted a device where I didn't have to tweak to make it work to my liking. An Evo 3D could have been that phone for me if it were a world phone, but alas, I ended up with an iPhone 4S, and it does exactly what I want..... just to work with a good user experience.

bored here to.....sold my 4S for more than i paid for it!!!...ios has looked basically the same since 2007,ok..yep major improvements have been made...but just still looks the same...if you get fed up with a Android phone,you can completely change the way it looks....
Oh and as for apple being the biggest company period???....just check how big samsung are....the tech side of them is just a very small part of samsung,they build everything from the workings of the phones,screens,chips etc,right up to massive industrial equipment,massive furnaces,ships,everything...and all the bits inbetween, televisions,washing machines,fridges etc....so apple is just a thing buzzing round their ear in comparison...

I was bored/unimpressed with my iPhone 4 which is why I sold it 2 months after release day for $700 and went to Blackberry. I made a thread about that and got destroyed for it because everyone on this forum is grumpy and you can't have an opinion other than Apple owns. However, I eventually went back to a brand new 3GS Apple gave me and now I'm on the 4S and the iPhone is just a very solid phone that I rely on a lot more than I thought I would back when I got rid of the 4.
No we don't, we'll not unless the form factor stays the same as the current iPhone 4 and 4S. Personally I don't want a physically larger phone.
you got to laugh....before the 4S everyone was screaming for a 4" screen,now that the 4S is only got a 3.5" screen,everyone is saying,they don't want a bigger screen,so if apple had brought a 4" sounds like no one would have bought it...haha...if apple brought a 1" screen out you would all think that was the way to go....sad really...
Not really. Those who wanted a bigger screen still do. Those who don't want a bigger screen now never did before. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise. That said like I said if Apple can increase the screen size and at the same time keep the same form factor that would be ideal.
To be fair, I somewhat agree with the OP. Has iOS had a major overhaul since it was first released? It's been five years and it still looks the same for the most part. I really enjoy having an iPhone 4s and I'd rather have this phone over any other android phone out there, but I'm getting kind of tired Apple making no major changes to the operating system. It's not broken, but it could be better.
Same here. Is the screen huge? No. But I keep this device in the pocket of my jeans and anything bigger would be too big/bulky. Plus, anything bigger would require two-handed operation.
All I get from these threads is tech penis envy. The latest Android generation phones are bigger, better, faster, stronger, etc. Yet, the iPhone remains the top-reviewed phone and consumer favourite. Something about the motion of the ocean...
I get bored of my Jeep sometimes...then I drive to someplace more interesting
Changing out your OS only gets you so much satisfaction. I had the original Droid, messed with custom ROMs weekly...that got old
I don't get a lot of satisfaction out of the iOS...I can only flip through the same screens over an over again...then I download a video game and the iPhone isn't so boring anymore
When I feel grumpy and feel like complaining, I hold down the home button and give Siri a raft of carp

I can understand where the OP is coming from, the 4S looks exactly like the iphone 4, feels and acts exactly like the iphone 4 (performance-wise). It is easy to get bored of because this feels like a re-release of the same iphone 4 which came out 16 months ago, but just with an upgraded iOS.
But it isn't the same inside
I have seen a real difference speed wise and how smooth it is nevermind the fact signal is better, siri has been useful to me, graphics are amazing, camera is top quailty as is the HD recording...it may look the same but is certainly improved.
I didn't buy my 4s because it's OS is entertaining, I bought it because it works.
I really don't understand anyone who complains about the OS looks. I don't pay attention to that, I pay attention to the fact that it works. It is not buggy. And my youtube and other apps seem to work fine. If you can't handle a phone that "just works" feel free to go back to the droid. I am sure you will be as a happy as a clam, as you were before... oh wait, you weren't that happy, you bought an iphone 4s.
