Electronics Apple iPhone 5 or 4s??? - Page 2

KCFalcon59 · 10-04-2011, 10:38 AM

Well, the Apple iPhone event is starting at 12:00 today. Crazy rumors all over the place this morning. Will it be a small upgrade of iPhone 4 (iPhone4s) or will it be a major makeover (iPhone 5)? I hope it is the latter. Honestly, if they don't wow me with something new, I am thinking of going with the Samsung Galaxy SII.

Bring it on Apple.

Not impressed at all. Almost a year and a half for that. iPhail.

Yeah. I didn't watch the video, but I haven't been impressed by voice recognition anything yet... I don't think Siri is going to change that.

Guess I might as well just upgrade to an ipod touch 4g now. What a huge let down.

I'm talking about the ipod touch not the iphone. all they did to the touch was slap a paint job on it. It looks like the hardware is exactly the same as the 4g.

can you confirm otherwise?

I like it. I wouldn't have liked a tapered form factor, because when you switch to landscape, it would have been awkward.

A5 is win. Siri is win.

I don't currently have an iPhone, so this looks like a good one to get. If I already had a 4, I wouldn't upgrade, though.

Johnny Vegas · 10-04-2011, 02:16 PM

cool features but I'm glad when I got the iphone 4 when if first came out for Verizon. I got to get Verizons unlimited data plan before they changed to 2GB if you sign for a 2 year renewal with an iphone.

**DaFace** · 10-04-2011, 02:17 PM

The voice stuff just doesn't do much for me. Just like texting is more convenient for me than calling, I'd rather just set an alarm the old fashioned way than have to talk to my phone to do it.

Can you get a 16GB phone and then add a 32gig micro SD card for $50?

There is no microSD slot on the phone. There never will be on an iPhone.

I can see that. The thing that immediately struck me, though, was the use for it while driving. I often need to send texts while I drive, and waiting for a stoplight to do it is a pain in the ass, especially when I'm in a hurry.
