Survey: 35% of U.S. Consumers Planning to Purchase Next-Generation iPhone

I'll surely keep my iPhone 4.

The i5 is definitely going to be fine but I think buying the i4 was a good choice for everyone. It looks super cool, its display is beautiful, and the OS works like a charm. Why should I change it after just 1 year?

And it's good to feel that you spent your money for something which is good enough for at least 2 years.

So when I'm buying the iPhone 6, I can have a pleasent feeling that my good, "old" iPhone 4 served well.

I'm in the 65% of people buying an Android phone.

Well according to the survey you're actually in the 19%. Surprised it's that high, but there's no accounting for taste.

No 4G/LTE is a deal-breaker for most people that buy phones unsubsidized.

Seriously, I've had 50Mb/s 4G/LTE since December 2009. And it's STILL not in a new Apple phone.

That's why Apple will always lose global market share to Samsung/HTC. In addition to the previous no-unsubsidized crap from previous iPhones.

Sorry you feel that way, but thanks for not rushing out and buying a new iPhone 5. You've made the line 1 person shorter for me.

I'm sure the lack of LTE support will seriously hinder Apple's market share. Just like the lack of 3G in the original iPhone totally destroyed that product at launch. Oh wait...

Apple will add LTE support when they feel the technology is mature enough so as not to compromise their product's size & battery life. In the meantime, I'm in no rush. 3G is plenty fast enough for everything I do (and that includes abusing my unlimited data plan with tons of netflix and MLB.tv).
