iPhone 4s?

[VexxedVTS]

Anyone going for the iPhone 4s?
I've just pre orderd it for an upgrade from my samsung galaxy s
extra features like nice.

[Delboy]

yep preordering one as we speak..white 16gb one on 18 month contract, they seem a great upgrade with all the extra features from the 4. cant wait!

[alicowmeadow]

isnt the iphone 5 out now?

[MiniGibbo]

Or at least close to being out?

[craig180]

It'll be at least another 6 months before and news of aniphobe 5 is announced.

Good business sense to let the hype of tb's previous model die down first

[MiniGibbo]

TB's?

My upgrade is decmeber iirc, i hope your wrong Craig or im blaming you if i have to get a white iphone four then two months later they realise the five !!

[Delboy]

isnt the iphone 5 out now?

Or at least close to being out?

i think you mean the iphone 4s...i thought it was going to be the iphone 5 too, as i was told it was...but its the 4s apparently!

its not out yet, i think the 14th of october the 4S comes out!

[MiniGibbo]

Bollocks thatll be the same as my white 3gs then.. i get the slightly better one then four months down the line they realise the new one and im stuck with the old model for two years again :S

[craig180]

Was meant to read "the" but a combination of my dick fingers and the iPhones auto correct....

[MiniGibbo]

As annoying as the auto correct is i could never turn it off lol..

[Rob-6]

I'm due upgrade in December I'm going to hold on to my 4 and wait for the 5

[MiniGibbo]

Ive only got a 3gs :S

[Delboy]

Ive only got a 3gs :S

get up to date with it matt! :homme:

i say this while rocking the oldest sony ericsson in the world due to my blackberry being a prick!

[craig180]

I'm due upgrade in December I'm going to hold on to my 4 and wait for the 5

I'm the same. My 12 month Tesco Value contract has now ended so I'm just going to roll until the 5 comes out IF it's a significant improvement over my 4

[MiniGibbo]

Tell me about it..

Balckberrys are for faggots and doctors and i dont see you wearing a white coat :homme:

[Rob-6]

Hopefully iso5 will bring some good features with it to keep things interesting In the mean time.

[Penn]

Ordered a 32GB 4S from the apple store as soon as it was available on Friday morning :P

Should be here on the morning of the 14th hopefully.

[Graeme]

People do know the 4s doesn't have many different things to the 4? Yes better cam and processor but is it worth not waiting till July next year when the 5 will be out?

The spec over the 4 is a big improvement (not just camera and cpu/gpu) and it also adds Siri. You cannot get Siri on the iPhone 4.

Where's the source that states the new iPhone will be out in July 2012 and whether it will be a significant upgrade from the 4S?

[GolfJay]

That Siri looks awesome!

[GolfJay]

seriously ?

Hackers are already working on it but you'll need to be jailbroken and as of yet, they're not 100% sure it can be done.

Link (http://cydiahelp.com/port-siri-on-iphone-4-under-work/)

[Rob-6]

I don't think I would use siri the only thing I would benefit from was a better camera but I'm not that fussed on that anyway

[Graeme]

Siri is also a BETA and not full, (states so on the apple site)

And if you look at apples trend over the last so many years u can pretty much predict that the iPhone 5 will be out next July time!

[Proffitt]

As I still have the 3gs and can upgrade on the 20th of this month then I will be going for the 4s.

Although I can see Apple bringing out the 5 mid next year! It's what they do :n:

If you look at their product release trend then you'll notice that each product has a cycle of ~1 year, which means it'll be september/October next year that the next one gets announced.

[craig180]

My opinion is that the 4s is an interim product because the 5 isn't quite ready.

Don't think it will be another year before the 5 sees a launch simply because of the competition

[CrouchyM]

The 5 looks awesome though, can't wait till it's out. It's going to make HTC's look like an LG cookie haha

[craig180]

How would you know what the 5 looks like or the spec??

[Manu]

£700 + insurance then living with the fear of breaking/damaging it etc... I'd buy a brick phone and a fat laptop for that. Oh wait actually I did.


Although I can see Apple bringing out the 5 mid next year! It's what they do :n:

at least 1 year, August at the earliest

[Proffitt]

£700 is for the top spec 64bg phone remember. Even myself (a iPhone fan boy), wouldn't pay that much for a phone!!

Im on a monthly contract and get the phone for free :A:

[craig180]

I've just rolled my Tesco Value contract now my TWELVE month contract has finished so paying 15 a month until there is any sign of the 5 coming out

[Proffitt]

So what do you pay for the phone then Craig?
12 month contract @ 15 a month, must must be alot?

Mine will be a 24month contract @ 45 a month :n:

[Manu]

Im on a monthly contract and get the phone for free :A:

correction: get the (not highest spec)phone free at first and then pay 45 a month for 24 months = £1080 (not including accessories and apps). I could buy a macbook pro + any regular phone for that.

[Proffitt]

Yes, When you say it like that then ot does sound bad and depresses me a little.

Although...

£1080 for 24 months

Minus the Phone (£500) = £580

Diveded by 24 months = £24.17

And tbh, I use alot more than £24.17 a month on calls, texts and data.

So in my eyes, its a good deal :A:

[CrouchyM]

Seen a picture of one and read about them. They are slimer and I think 1 cm wider than a 4.

[craig180]

So what do you pay for the phone then Craig?
12 month contract @ 15 a month, must must be alot?

Mine will be a 24month contract @ 45 a month :n:

Contract is ended on my 4 now. Was 235 for the phone and 35 a month for 12 months. 750 mins, unlimited texts and data

I've now reduced the tarrif on a monthly rolling contract and kept my iPhone 4

[Proffitt]

Ahh right I understand :D

I cant afford to pay that much upfront for the phone.

[craig180]

I sent my old 3GS back to mazuma and got 220 for it which paid for the 4. I'll probably do the same with my 4 to pay for a 5

[Proffitt]

That's a good way to go about it tbh.

I would do it but Ive already promised my GF that she can have my 3gs as she still has the 3g :)

[Manu]

in my eyes, that's the price for a macbook pro + phone ;) I top up every 2 months or so. All the people I see around me having smart phones and unlimited credit use it to send each other texts such as "cunt" or "oi", or even "oi you cunt". Hence why I haven't figured out how I would need something like that.

About your £24.17 a month. It costs your phone company about £0.02417 to provide you with that service . Then they don't pay Apple £500 per phone;)

I still don't get why these things cost more than a laptop while doing less.

[MiniGibbo]

I sent my old 3GS Black back to mazuma and got 220 for it which paid for the 4. I'll probably do the same with my 4 to pay for a 5

See thats your problem if you have the straight white version they would of given you nearly double that..

Lol, I do send pointless message to people just becasue I can :p

Yes, It may only cost Vodafone only £0.02417 to provide me with my monthly service. BUT if you look at it from the PAYG point of view, I used to use at least £10 a week so still works out.

I do see your point though :D


See thats your problem if you have the straight white version they would of given you nearly double that..

Its all about the White phone, I have the white 3gs and I will only have a White 4s :A:

[MiniGibbo]

Manu is a grumpy cunt with a nokia 3310 as "its got less that can go wrong"
and itll be on pay as you go because he dosent beleive in paying "the man" or signing up for a contract..

Whatever you say will be wrong and he is right.

I pay £45 a month for my white 3gs on a 24month contract, never costs me more or less and dosent bother me in the slighest..

I bet manu is one of the people that sits in the inside lane on motorways doing exactully 50mph in his 20 year old hyundai hatchback that holds up lorries causing traffic as he wants to get that mpg out of his tank :homme:

[saxova]

Is alot to spend on a phone that has no java/flash support, and it's meant to be a internet phone.

Just seems its a item in which people (fanboys) battle to who's cost the most.. the ultimate mummys boy get the white versions >.<

[craig180]

See thats your problem if you have the straight white version they would of given you nearly double that..

And they would have sent me my cash in a pink envelope with sequins you fhaaag

Im guessing you either have a BB, Samsung, HTC or you just can't afford an iPhone :homme:

Nothing wrong with getting a white one, I prefer white to black. Simples.

[MiniGibbo]

Rather that than when Del Winton brought your money around personally for your black :homme:

How is it "mummy boys" get white, they cost the same you fucking bellend..

[saxova]

Don't they release the black one, then when the prices start creeping down they release the white version at the original price.

and fuck you.

[MiniGibbo]

"fuck you" thats a little petty isnt it.. didnt your mum kiss you on the forehead this morning before seeing you out the door?

[Proffitt]

Don't they release the black one, then when the prices start creeping down they release the white version at the original price.

and fuck you.

Nope. White and Black come out at the same time on the 4s.

[saxova]

Well my first comment was aimed at the young mummy boys, but you seemed to find it offensive and call me a bellend.

So i replyed with a equally sad comment, so you didn't feel left out :homme:

[saxova]

LG 3D.. £30 a month.. Why would i need to spend more? It does everything a iphone does +more..

Minigibbo loves having his wallet raped on a monthly basis for the sake of having a "smart" phone that makes him look smart. Then he loves oversized "bang tidy" stickers on a 20 year old yellow bimmer as it comforts the attention whore part of him. Appearances are everything, wants are more important than needs:y:

Then he threatens to report my posts for "spamming". How ironic.

(disclaimer: I don't have a nokia, I don't hold up traffic with some 20 year old jap crap)

[Ross]

why get a 4s when it looks the same as a 4? How will people know you're better than them?

Just wait for the 5 imo...

[Manu]

How will people know you're better than them?


I rest my case. Apparently it's taking better pictures and they sorted the antenna problem. Then everyone needs a dual core to make phone calls.

[GolfJay]

What a retard comment. An iPhone isnt had "just" to make calls. The dual processor is for all the extras such as Siri and memory raping apps/games. An iPhone isn't just a phone.

[RichM]

The spec over the 4 is a big improvement (not just camera and cpu/gpu) and it also adds Siri. You cannot get Siri on the iPhone 4.


Not really a big improvement...you pretty much named the major changes. Siri could possibly be activated on a jailbroken phone if they find a way

[Proffitt]

why get a 4s when it looks the same as a 4? How will people know you're better than them?

Just wait for the 5 imo...

Well as I still have the 3gs, my contract runs out on the 20th October. So it makes sense to upgrade to the newest iPhone available, would be daft to upgrade to the 4 when I can have the 4s for the same price :y:

People will know as I will tell them all the time, i'll make a badge saying 'I have the 4s NOT the 4' :A:
