If you look at what is upgraded in the 4s, the processor and camera, I find it difficult to understand why someone other than a fanboy would upgrade. The iPhone 4 was already plenty fast at just about everything it does, and the camera was also very good. It seems you’re upgrading for very little benefit. Sure Siri looks revolutionary, the problem with EVERY mobile voice recognition service is they aren’t practical to use in most mobile situations – they don’t work well with a lot of background noise, and when there isn’t a lot of noise, you are probably in a public place and really don’t want the rest of the world to hear whatever it is you are trying to get your phone to do or read to you. Android already has very good VR, but I rarely use it for these reasons.

So at the end of the day, the 4s provides upgrades where they really aren’t needed, ignores those that are – screen, LTE, etc. and is quite simply very disappointing for those of us that want and expect Apple to continue to be a leader in the Mobile space. After 15 months there really should have been more.

I guess specs aren’t all that important all of a sudden when your next super phone isn’t all that super.

This is clearly the first time apple has fallen being in cell phone technology. I’ve had every single iPhone and I’m now in a samsung galaxy s2 and there’s no way in hell id get that piece of crap 4s. Apple has billions upon billions of dollars and all they do is make the camera better and make it dual core after 16 months??? They should redesign the damn phone every year. They got the money to do it! What a complete joke. Apple is no longer an innovator the way they once were, instead they’re all about making profit profit profit.

“we’ll announce a slightly upgraded phone and use smoke and mirrors in advertising to fool people into thinking it’s a dramatic upgrade.”

Samsung, and HTC and totaly licking their lips right now because they know their products are going to blow the 4s out of the water.

Ok yea, SIRI is nice. But it’s SOFTWARE! And they’re making it only on the 4s. An iphone 4 has more than enough power to handle that. But they are still gonna make you upgrade.

And the prices for different capacities….. Wow. It jumps from 200 to 300 to get another 16gb… Really? It probably costs them an extra 2 dollars to add an additional 16gb of storage to the phone being almost 2012.

Bottom line is that apple screwed up big time. They’ll still have their crazy Fanboy people that don’t know any better camping out for essentially the same device they already have…. But that’s fine. Us professional users that are sick and tired of the small screen, no customization options, no flash compatibility, chained to iTunes, no memory upgrades, no amoled screen, no universal micro usb input, on and on, are going to be able to find a happy home with the powerhouse samsung and HTC phones coming out in the next month.
