After considering and weighing up all the benefits (?), I will wait for th e '5' version next year.

i wouldn't say that apple has caught up with the competition, android totally sucks in comparison to iOS its laggy and there just isn't the amount of apps on the market for android.
I bought a galaxy s2 and thought it was rubbish compared to my ip4 laggy and just didn't function as well, so i sold it and went back to iPhone. the apple stuff just works i don't want to **** around with rooting and all that rubbish just to get the phone to work better

Apple have a bit of a history of releasing a new product with issues/flaws/fewer features only to fix them with the second iteration, so this might be the best choice for some time.
I'm sure when the iPhone 5 does come out it will 'change everything all over again and again and again'.
However, there will probably be some little issue or missing feature that people moan about so I think getting into the second generation or 'S' cycle is probably the best way forward unless you have to have the latest form-factor.

The iPhone "Apple Store" app says £499/£599/£699. Other people have suggested £499/£579/£659 from unknown sources.
It's pointless having quad core CPU's, yada, yada when the software can't benefit.
As has already been mentioned - the 90%+ market for the iPhone don't care about the tech specs. They just want a cool phone that is easy to use with access to iTunes and the App store.
If you want bragging rights for FPS on benchmarks they go and buy another phone and stop complaining
In the meantime iPhone owners will enjoy the best games, music and apps available

£700 for a 64 GB iPhone 4S
lol'd.
lol'd.
Where are these prices from?
Ive just ordered an phone 4 case before the prices go crazy (im presuming the buttons are in all the same places?)
Someone said the buttons may have changed to accomodate the new antennae. Not seen one properly to check...
Why are Apple thought to be a company building bleeding edge hardware on these forums when they are anything but - the iP4 was just an exception; they are far better known at putting existing technologies together and integrating them as a package...

Supposedly not, as the Verizon phone shifted the buttons down a tad – which the 4S is based on.

My point was, other phones can do what you require and have been able to do so for a long time.

If technical specs are pointless, the 4S is pointless as all it is, is an iP4 with bumped up specs really. You can't have it both ways, argue that other 'better' phones don't need all that power yet foam at the mouth when you hear how the A5 is dooool core, lol.
The iP4 and 4S are good phones, no question about it, but they are not value for money, they are an absolute rip off infact, and they are just about on par with the competition.
I owned an iP4 since launch and only recently sold it, I still think in some ways it was better then the GS2 but overall the GS2 is better, no question about it. If you don't know how to use the S2 then yeah I suppose an Apple product is what you need.
Truly lolworthy indeed.

I think I'll just stick to getting the 16 or 32 GB version, can't comprehend why you'd pay £700 for 64GB of storage especially given the iCloud.

Indeed, the 3g and 3gs were far from bleeding edge spec wise, the iPhone 4 was a bit of a blip.
I dare say the 5 will be to the 4s what the 4 was to the 3gs, and it looks like this is the cycle Apple are going for so there will be periods where they are behind the competition spec wise, but thats not important to a typical Apple user.

As far as I'm aware, iPhone 4 cases will fit the 4S. Thus, you have a year's worth of accessories already available, which is obviously handy.
Worth buying the 4s over the 4?
I can see their site says pre-order for the iPhone 4s from the 7th October. However I had a quick look on Apples site and only the 8gb iPhone 4 seems to be available, I'd be interested to pricing for the 16GB standard 4 now that the 4s is almost out.

Even if Apple state it's going to be 4S only, Jailbreakers and Developers will port it to the older hardware. Read my previous post
