I bet we aren't going to see a quad core phone for four months yet.
Browsing the web is also perfectly fine in a 3.5" screen. There's a limit to how much you can chunk up the device before it stops being a phone which can browse, and starts becoming a tablet which can call. Although i realise for many people who only have these devices to text and play angry birds / go on forums a bigger screen must be like a drug.
Flash content which Adobe itself concedes is on its last legs? why else provide no less then 4 tools which convert (some on the fly at server end, some not) flash into HTML 5? can't say i really miss those animated pop up viagra adverts.
Emulators? bloody hell, its a phone! not a full time portable (retro) gaming hub.
And re the quad. Doesn't the PS Vita use it? its battery life is complete dross.

And when we do, how amazing will it feel to have instantly loading apps load faster then the current instantly loading apps. I mean, woah man.
I mean, Copilot on my 3gs loads in about 5 seconds. On my GF's IP4 it loads in about 4 seconds. On a quad core it loads in what, 2 seconds?
Its nothing, we still end up at the destination at the same time.
Like Facetime and Ping ......

Ping is fail but Facetime is great and I've used it a lot (my Mac to my parents iPod Touch).
From the looks of things everything in the 4S loads so quickly a quad core would be akin to going from a single 580 to SLI 580s just to play console ports.

I completely agree that the new iP4S isnt the fastest thing out there, but it doesnt need to be considering how managed its software environment is.
Its just an asset of having a single platform to code for; c.f. PCs and Consoles...

Which is exactly the point a few of us have been making. If Apple had some way of keeping the spec a complete secret people wouldn't even suspect its not the latest and greatest because it runs like perfection anyway.
Making one line troll posts that bring nothing to the discussion?
Seriously?
They all have the same external look but as for just an internal speedbump - From the teardowns I've seen they all look massively different internally. That's far more than just a speedbump. If the external design works, which it clearly does as there's nothing out there which can touch any of those items you've mentioned for looks then why change them?
I say again, if the device today had exactly the same specs but was in a different case and called an iPhone 5 then people would be filling their knickers. But because it looks the same, it's automatically not much of a change and therefore crap, right?
I'll be getting one, the extra capacity means I'll dump my iPod, fit an A2DP head unit in the car and finally store my music on my iPhone.
O yeah, because we all know faster clock speeds mean a better processor.
Yeah, screw this, i'm going back to my Pentium D clocked at 4.2Ghz as that is far faster than my Core Duo at 2.8Ghz.
If they were the same processor with the same architecture i can understand your point but they aren't.
benchmarks, yes can be skewed...whatever you think, it's the first iPhone that's not had a stand out feature over other available phones...I know they're after 3GS users, but it's still meh. My friends agree too, not different enough, and many are bemoaning the small screen. Will still sell like hotcakes to the sheep though

Oh I wasn't trying to be detrimental to Apple I am just curious as to what they're up to next.
As for the 4s I will definitely be getting it, Android pales into insignificance against iOS.
Samsung and Google are about to release 1.5GHz dual core phones with 1280*720 displays.
Maybe something competitive would have been nice, it's just not good enough at this stage, maybe if it was released 4-6 months ago I would think differently but mobile hardware is moving fast atm and it['s not going to slow down for Apple.
Errm, the Galaxy S II was released over 4 months ago and features the same Cortex A9 clocked at 1.2GHz
But yes if your refering to Qualcomms Dual Core snapdragon, yes that sucks.

great, why not get a phone that can take a new fangled thing called a micro-sd card? ooppss nope Apple don't like that kind of flexibility
What is a stand out feature? what new phone in the last 12 months has a stand out feature? all new phones are mere speed bumps and will be for the foreseeable future.
Nail. Head. Hit.
They never have and they never will. Why should that bother me? My iPod is on the way out, I can either spend a couple of hundred quid on a replacement or go with a single device. No brainer really.
It is competitive, it's still going to be the best selling individual high-end phone, whether you like it or not.
It's more about the overall package than the hardware itself, the amount of people that buy a phone based on hardware specs alone is quite small.
"Why don't Android make some half decent apps for a change and then people might consider moving..."
See, I can do this too, but I don't care that much and it's ridiculously petty.
