Also the 3G sucked ass (had one) compared to even the 3Gs it was time. Didn't order waiting for LTE since for one I can't get one at upgrade price and for two the 4 is still plenty relevant.I've already pre-ordered mine. 32GB, black, ATT.
The original plan was to hold out until the all-new 5, but my 3G met an unexpected death last weekend.
I wonder if the 4S will attract a premium by being the last of the "jobs-era" devices.
Whats it do?
Fuck knows, didn't bother askingConvert whatever you say into a Yakov Smirnoff joke?
Who says it was the last? IIRC rumors say that Apple already was 2 generations ahead in the pipeline for many products.
I think i didn't phrase it very well - what I really should have said is will it (and yes, other not-yet-released but SJ devices) attract a premium/become collectible in a few years similar to how the F40 is seen as the last of the Enzo era. Whilst the 4S is certainly not the last SJ device would it be perceived as such due to the announcement date? Anyway, its kinda off-topic to the central discussion here
I am still in two minds about preordering - I love my ipad and I have an MBP so the iPhone would fit in well, but on the other hand I want to see what google has round the corner with the Prime.
As far as upgrading goes, honestly the current 4 takes a great picture and is snappy in it's own right. I wouldn't call 3GS slow either. To me, the biggest new feature is Siri: gamechanging for sure (not even Vlingo is Siri good...period) but it might not be useful much IRL everyday beyond the "Duuuudddee, check this out!" phase.
I'd wait for the Nexus and if you're dead set on iPhone,the iPhone 5: like the guys from the This Is My Next podcast said, all these case makers didn't start making teardrop shaped, back covering, iPhone cases for shits and giggles...something bigger is coming for 5.
If you do go 4s, buy at contract free pricing: save your upgrade for a more substantial redesign (exterior/size speaking).
Going to get hands on with one first, but yes probably the 16GB
I had Sprint as my first carrier, it sucked ass. It's fine in the city but when I was upstate in school it was beyond useless. VZ on the other hand I never had a problem with even on Bear Mountain where my ATT service was not working.
You basically get what you pay for....
