Totallllly, i mean Wayyyyy off the mark...

So you have old of your 8mp Camera iphone and the new iphone comes out with 12mp... (just a random number dont get wet over it) anyway... You wont accept one because you think 8mbs enough... Dude i thought donkey kong on the gameboy was enough until the gameboy colour come out... Need to grow up, or chill.

Apart from the fact that megapixels don't mean anything for picture quality, merely how many pixels the image is constructed of. A 2560x1440 display is 3.7MP (rounded). You do not need a 12MP camera, and it is unlikely that the 5 is going to have a camera that will blow the 4Ss out of the water. Sure, it'll be better, but not in a different league, and not worth upgrading for. So no, not remotely "off the mark".

However, there is a huge difference between upgrading because it is required from a performance point of view, and required from a sales point of view. The Galaxy S3 and HTC One X both come in dual-core LTE flavours that, in the real world, perform similarly to their quad core counterparts. Right now, it's much like the megapixel wars, though of course as software becomes more demanding this will change. Customers don't know any better, but hey, what can you do. Samsung have largely boosted their sales by using the numbers, something which Apple has not done (hence why you never see Apple quote the amount of memory, as well as the clock speeds of the iPhone processors).

Of course, the extra power will be nice for developers but the 4S isn't going to go out of date in a flash. There will likely be little reason for any 4S user to upgrade to a 5. My case is a little different, however if I still had the 4S there is no way I'd upgrade to the 5, nor would I feel inclined to.

Whether Apple will go quad core now or not is unclear - they don't really need to. They'll probably focus on efficiency instead, which is always a good thing.

I think some poeple are just brought into hype, over here I believe will wait to see how much of an upgrade it is, the real problem for me is the screens size and battery life. If those things are improve for me I would want to get it. Also the current SoC runs at 800mhz.

exactly, all these fan boys are hyping it up way to much without even seeing the specs first and it makes them look so stupid.

Why don't you address some points instead of spouting repeated nonsense? Oh yeah, because you can't.

You're doing the exact opposite to an extreme measure, which makes you look 'stupid', by your own logic.

"I just cant understand that people want to rush out on day one and buy this new Iphone when its basically going to the exact same thing as the one your using now is doing."

So you can complain about people getting it on day one commenting that it's going to be exactly the same as your current iPhone, but others can't speculate on the specs and get a little excited?

The whole point in this thread is to speculate about the next iPhone, if you don't have anything decent to add to the discussion, I suggest you just don't post.

address some points, I stated some very valid points in my first post. Please re-read them if you didn't get them the first time.
 
Not really, I told you facts and people don't like the truth and it hurts.

But don't listen to me. Go and sell your current phone and run out to the shops on the day of release and blow your money. Don't come back on here after in a Huff

I'm not planning on even getting a new iPhone unless it's exceptionally good, I don't have any issues with my Galaxy S III, and I wouldn't sell it anyway.

What facts have you told anyone? You said an improved SoC was pointless - I've told you why it isn't - and you've ignored that.

You've basically dodged the larger screen, which is the single biggest difference. It's just embarrassing to be honest, the way you persist in every Apple thread, saying every single upgrade is pointless. You should pack it in.

A bigger screen, by what 1cm? Not worth the upgrade. The 4s Screen is already big enough.

I don't want a brick in my pocket, thanks but no thanks.

For you, nothing would be worth the upgrade. That's my point.

I would list all of the reasons why an upgrade may well be worth it for most people, but you'll just dismiss them, no matter what. So I won't bother. You can see the OP for a general idea.

This thread is for speculation and what people want to see, not whining about why you'll never upgrade your perfect phone when you don't even know what the new one contains.

:rolleyes: Then don't buy it? I don't understand why you're still here moaning about something you don't plan to buy...
 
I think for a lot of people upgrading from a 4s to the iPhone5 wont be a huge leap forward, but most people are on contract which are normally 24months, so they wont be upgrading. I think a lot of the poeple getting the iPhone 5 are those on the 4 or older or people switching from another platform. If you keep up with sales you will notice that there was a big dip in the last quater.

General the poeple that will upgrade from a 4s to 5 will sell there 4s so making it only cost £100 to upgrade. For that if I can get a bigger screen, a nice metal build instead of glass (Love the look of the glass but its a pain to hold), NFC and a real push from WP8. android and iOS for NFC, and finally a bigger battery I think its a good upgrade.

The new screen being tall and not wider I think is good, I general I hate the ratio of the iPhone cause I tend to watch a lot of content and I just find 16:9/16:10 is better. It will also allow the iPhone to be usable sideways, but I can see some trouble reacing the power button.
 
I think i'm going to give iPhones a go this time around, having been an "every other mobile OS user" for the past 10+ years!

One of the things I don't like about my current phone (Galaxy S2) is the size, so i'm hoping the 4" screen isn't going to make it "too" much bigger in the hand (I personally find the iPhone 4 form factor pretty much spot on).

Battery life is my other concern! No matter what ROM or kernel I slap onto my phone, the battery life always seems to be utter rubbish, so i find that most days i take my phone out, i immediately disable 3G and make sure all my apps are closed... and i'm left thinking: what's the point in having all these cool features and apps if I can't even use em :/ (that's another reason for wanting to try an iPhone - it's nice having the ability to flash custom ROMs and whatnot onto my phone, but I'm now over that and just want something that works out of the box. cba with customisations anymore).

Anyways, as long as the iPhone 5 can give me a slick interface, last a day with "normal" data/app usage, let me listen to my music with (again) not caining the battery - i'll be happy!

One thing I do like about my phone is the fact that it's light and plastic, so i can pretty much drop it onto concrete and at most, there'll be some scratches on the casing. Am I right in thinking that the iPhone screens are more fragile? All the dropped iPhones i've seen seem to have shattered screens!
