No iPhone 5 Yet – iPhone 4S Officially Announced – Pre-order October 7th – On sale October 14th

Posted on 2011-10-4

Comments 267


 
Apple officially announced the iPhone 4S at today’s event. It will be available to pre-order on Friday October 7th, and will go on sale on October 14th. It has a new antenna design that allows for file transfers twice as fast as the iPhone 4, as well as a voice recognition function for a whole new hands free experience. The iPhone 4S will also be powered by Apple’s Dual Core A5 processor.

The iPhone 4S will be a World Phone, so it will work on both CDMA and GSM networks. This means there will not be different versions for different carriers. Sprint has been added to the list of available carriers in the U.S. for both the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4S will have a 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB model available priced at $199, $299, and $399. The phone will be released in both Black and White. The iPhone 4S will have an 8 megapixel camera and will shoot video in full 1080p with video stabilization. The iPhone 4 had only a 5 megapixel camera capable of shooting 720p video. The new custom lens on the iPhone 4S will produce much sharper, crisper images. The image signal processor in the A5 chip is very advanced, especially when partnered with the new iOS 5.

The iPhone 4S will launch in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany and Japan on October 14th, less than 2 weeks away. iPhone 4S will be available worldwide to 22 additional countries by the end of October including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

With Siri, Apple’s new personal assistant software , you can use your voice to accomplish tasks or access parts of the phone. For example, you can ask “How’s the traffic in this area” or “Remind me to call Jeremy when I get home”. You can also use Siri to make calls, text, make notes, browse the web, get driving directions, and more.

Your 100% percent right Ive been waiting on this and now we get this….disappointment

Sure is. I guess I can look at it this way……. I’ve had my 3G iPhone for over 2 years now so upgrading to the iPhone 4S will be like going from a station wagon to an Escalade. Heck, I might as well get the 4 and save ALOT of money. Either way I’m due for an upgrade.

WTF?! Steve Jobs left just in time. Left Cook to disappoint Apple lovers.

  • May

    October 4, 2011 at 10:26 pm

I’m not buying this one. It’s nothing new about it! I don’t need voice command and I won’t pay just to get the old, glass back phone but faster! What a shame!
I’m waiting for a new design of iphone 5!
Bite me apple but I prefer keep using iphone 3!

Because I’m sure the very recent leaving of Steve Jobs gave Cook just enough time to “scheme” up this “disappointment.” Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think Jobs had to have known about this, or at least didn’t care (which if that’s the case, Cook probably doesn’t care either).

 

  • Not so disappointed

    October 4, 2011 at 11:03 pm

 

I’m still rocking the iPhone…no 3 no G…iPhone, so this is all awesomeness to me!

  • no so disappointed too

    October 6, 2011 at 2:05 pm

Waits to you see when they start to come out, I bet anything that they’ll be the first in line…lol.. awesome thing , now everyone can own an I phone from any phone carrier, grate for those who hasn’t been able to purchase one thru there phone carrier. Have 5 Sprint… It should be like that sense the beginning… Be happy for others instead of be crying above it…

Get iphone 4, jailbreak it and you’ll make it an iphone 4s for free…. SHAME ON YOU APPLE!!!

that’s stupid but I feel like a kid kicked out of disneyland…. I WANT AN IPHONE 5 and a NEW DESIGN!!!! ;(

  • Gabe

    October 5, 2011 at 6:20 pm

Yup – jailbroken iphone 4 should do the trick. Pretty disappointed. Worth an update from 3gs but no way from iphone 4. And siri only available for 4S and not 4, though both can have iOS 5? WTF is that about? Bad form, Apple. Bad form. The marketing videos are infuriating, the “chief marketing officer” rants and raves about it, well rant and rave all you want dude, smart folks can see through your “opinion”.

You’re an idiot. Your mad because the 5 didn’t come out, and then you let ur emotions get the best of you and go ahead and say nothing is different.

No, it’s not the 5, but MANY things are different.

  • Matty

    October 5, 2011 at 4:37 am

pfft stfu the design is the SAME…the speed isn’t up to par wif the competitors so don’t say nothin is different

Apple is a POS! I was really looking forward to a 4″ iPhone. How much you wanna bet that apple will launch the iPhone 5 in 6-7 months when ppl already have a 4S and probably could have waited that much longer?

Phil Schiller and Tom Cook can go have gay cowboy butt sex. Steve Jobs can film it on his iPhone 7

Yeah.

Well at least the domain name of this website hasn’t expired! Will still be relevant at least until next July.
People are going a bit overboard here, weren’t you expecting this, since it has happened before with the 3GS, so technically it is only 3 months late.
Things about speed etc are a defining factor, look at a hyper car, great 0-60mph but go try take it shopping or the small streets of the UK. Its the complete package you have to consider, some wont like this upgrade because it isn’t a big enough jump from what they have, others will because they may have a Nokia 1100.

 

  • kaya

    October 5, 2011 at 2:03 pm

 

it’s not junk, it is the best phone so far in the market but yes i completely agree with the fact that 4s is a total disappointment. we all expected something much better than this. i hope it doesnt have to do with steve jobs’ illness and hopefully apple makes another breakthrough innovation by june 2012. let’s wait and see what’s next.

saw the video of the iPhone 4S at the apple web site, and some dude there says “how could we upgrade something that’s already fabulous” (or something like that, refering to the iphone 4) And I thought to my self ” I dunno, maybe with a freaking larger screen (like your comptetition’s done or like many fans have been begging for), a slimmer desing ( like your comptetition’s done or like many fans have been begging for), a bigger RAM (like your comptetition’s done or like many fans have been begging for) or by doing and improving everything your comptetition’s ALREADY done???” but f*uck it, it still will be an upgrade for me from 3GS to 4S,but what a dissaponitment dude….

What a disappointment, think I’ll hang on for the 5 rather than waste my money

I don’t got a phone, and this is exactly what I wanted! More GB, Same I4 Design, Jaw dropping feature i’v never heard of B4. SOLD!

  • wow

    October 5, 2011 at 4:10 pm

I really hope that Verizon will grandfather in my unlimited data plan but I have a feeling they wont… grrr.

Also, I think it is supposed to read ’64 GB’ not ‘MB’ in the flash memory for the 4S

  • Cam

    October 5, 2011 at 12:40 am

Try going into the store when you upgrade. A friend of mine did when he got a new phone and his plan stayed the same. I read on a Droid forum someone trying to upgrade on the internet and they were trying to make him get a different plan.
No offense to apple people but Droid forums seem to be more helpful more information based.

 

  • Gustavo

    October 5, 2011 at 12:45 am

 

And how can the base price for iPhone 4 be for a version that is not even available?

  • RMD

    October 5, 2011 at 11:19 am

Obviously you do nt read cause it states a new 8 GB version to compete with the cheaper line of droid and windows phones. Mouth, foot , stfu

 

  • yeah

    October 5, 2011 at 7:05 am

 

Pay attention to what flash memory is .. it’s not the storage space in GB’s .. soooooo MB is correct ..

  • notsaying

    October 6, 2011 at 10:09 am

you idiot… You have no idea what your talking about. 64mb is nothing it is flash storage… Do you really think there’s a hard drive spinning around in there?…

    October 4, 2011 at 8:56 pm

 

*Sigh* No iPhone 5? Well we knew this was coming all weekend, how fucking gay. But 4S is basically 5 without any physical differences so it doesn’t matter. I think iPhone 4′s design is perfect anyway. Now should I preorder this bitch now or wait until my upgrade next summer? =] hopefully we’ll see a price drop by then and the announcement of iPhone 5

  • P$

    October 4, 2011 at 11:33 pm

Sorry, but I’m not sure what about this is same-sex attracted? Please don’t use “gay” to mean “bad” or “stupid.” It just makes you look really immature and ignorant.

Because taking up the cause to fight the improper use of an adjective meaning “same-sex attracted” on an iPhone release page will help reverse decades of already-done damage.

    October 4, 2011 at 8:57 pm

 

Lol what a flop and it lies when they post internet speed 5.8, 7.2mb/s? Yeah so sure that’ll happen on a 3g network, especially when there is so many users on the network. DROID bionic get one.

  • Cam

    October 5, 2011 at 12:49 am

I believe it has HSPA+ tech. so it has the capability to do so. So it wont have true 4g tech. but I still agree that Droids are better in this case till we see what comes out for the next Iphone (hopefully more compeditive this attempt was pathetic this being a steve jobs era phone I expected more). So Bionic is one phone on my list waiting for the Vigor/Incrdible HD to come out to see what I’m going to get. Definatly not getting an Iphone.

Don’t bother waiting for the 5, it looks like according to several sources that it will be exclusive to Sprint

  • The Flying Potato

    October 5, 2011 at 12:41 pm

Good advice there.. A network I’ve never even heard of will be the only one carrying the iphone 5(Will it not be 6?). I take it your American, the only country in the world.

 

  • Micaiah

    October 4, 2011 at 9:37 pm

 

The People who thought apple would release the iPhone 5 are the same people who do not learn from history…
Apple didn’t jump from the iPhone 3 to the iPhone 4. There was that little phone in between that people seem to forget about. It was called the “iPhone 3GS”. It had over double the hardware specs of the 3G, the display was upgraded, the camera, ect… The iPhone 4S has SEVEN TIMES the processing power of the iPhone 4, and is available pretty much on your network of choice. 1080P video camera is pretty amazing in it self for a phone… all that being said, I can’t see the Iphone 5 release being any farther off in the future than two or maybe 3 quarters away. Thus, I’ll stick with my iPhone 4 till the 5 makes it’s appearance… A four inch screen does sound pretty nice with with retina display…

    October 4, 2011 at 9:55 pm

 

I agree, not much is different. For the things that are different, they’re worse than in the 4. Not worth spending all that money on something I already have. All the hype Apple made was for nothing.

  • Munt

How in the hell is it worse than the iPhone 4? Explain to me how a single core processor is better than a dual core processor.

Such a complete waste of time and money….Steve jobs quit just at the right time….if this thing get another selling record then apple won’t have any motivations to improve anything as people will buy iphone new release no matter how horrible it is.

Plenty new with this phone. Though screen size and resolution is the same, 4s has dual core and 7x faster graphics. This will allow developers to build better games. Faster downloads, better camera, better video. I can see waiting for the next one, but dont say this is a worthless upgrade.

    October 4, 2011 at 10:10 pm

 

wow – tough crowd . . . face it, with steve stepping down, things are gonna change… and not for the better. At the end of the day, it’s still an iPhone and what it’s capable of is really cool. A lot of commenters sound like a bunch of spoiled babies and need to find a new hobby and stop being so effing critical of other’s work. What have YOU invented today that’s changed people’s lives for the better? Yeah, I thought so. As Shatner said to a bunch of nerdy trekkies once, ‘get a life’.

    October 4, 2011 at 10:52 pm

Well I dont know about you but I make processors bitch. Call me a nerd then lets settle this on the court or field or on a firing range your choice I’ll destroy you on any of them. All in all this phone is shit and a waste of money. When you say “At the end of the day, it’s still an iPhone and what it’s capable of is really cool” tells me your an apple fanboy idiot. People like you are the reason why apple puts shit phones out like this. You still buy the POS which drives apple to continue to put a POS product out. There are one or two things I like on this phone but only one or two doesnt justify a $400 after tax looking at $440 or more price tag. There are other phones out there that can do the same if not more than what this phone can do that will be cheaper. I’m willing to bet you also drive a prius or a smart car. I think I need to revoke your man card now. Fuck Shatner you knowing that makes you a nerd so why are you calling the people in here one.

You obviously aren’t a very agreeable person. That’s a shame. If you waited for the iphone5 an then jumped ship before anyone has even touched one, you’re a fool.

What did everyone expect? Can you think of a feature that the phone doesn’t already do well? Until they have pico-projectors built in and a USB port for file transfers, there’s not much more that you could ask of a smart phone.

Yes there is processor speed, but if you design a superior OS, it is not necessary anyway. Apple has a very solid track record of doing things right, and their competition wants to be them. I fully agree with the guy who mentioned that this is an iPhone5 just without a case mod. That means we’re not paying for the tooling and design for a new one anyway, higher value.

I have been waiting, my upgrade has been valuable since before June and my 3GS is almost completely dead. I will definately be getting the new 4S, despite the small disappointment that the lack of cosmetic change caused.

Very sorry for your negativity, take my advice and try to grow above it. Have a great evening!

Guy you need to calm down a bit. Unless you like sounding like a spoiled grown up man child? This is apple, this is nothing new. Everyone in the nerd community myself included new this was going to happen, it’s Apple’s style. The previous poster was right and called everyone out as any other normal person might. Lets rage on the faceless comment sections because we all know, that’s what real men do.

Nerd or not, this was expected. And the folks that are raging here are making fools of themselves. I’m upgrading because I can, I hate ATT and will be picking up Verizon (don’t care much for them, but hate them less). It’ll be a bit faster, won’t have the antennae issue, and will take better vids/pics which I use on my phone a lot. Rage all you want fellow nerds, we know in the end you’re just going to pick one up anyway. And if you don’t, please do come back and tell us how much you hate Apple, the phone, Steve and be sure to throw in a few knocks on genitals and mom’s of those that aren’t as amazed by the news.

  • BLolix

    October 5, 2011 at 1:19 pm

Actually, I’m not getting the 4s.I have a 3gs right now and was looking forward to 5. I kept saying that I would wait to upgrade until then. Now that there’s no huge difference in 4 and 4s. I’m going to upgrade and get the 4 for pretty much nothing. Sucks for people who already have it but this works for me. I’ll get the 5 when it comes out in like 6 months like everyone said it most likely will. I can see why people are upset, but if it’s not different then keep your damn phone. If you have anything under 4 then now you can get a phone that’s very damn similar and looks the same for really cheap. It’s a win/win.

I’ll take you up on that. You act like a preprocessing madonna. Fuck the court, the field, or the firing range; let’s throw on the gloves. If the iPhone is such a waste of money, what the fuck are you doing here? I think this shit is funny. Yeah, my girl wants a new iphone, I just wanted to see if it was worth it, what’s your excuse? For someone supposedly “making” processors…you’ve got to know you’re a nerd, so be proud to admit it. But that just tells me you’re just making that shit up, otherwise, you would whole heartedly admit. Stop trying to craft a digital life you always wanted because your real is that bad. Oh…how sad…..

face it this was a steve jobs era phone everybody expected more and got let down for his last device. So your arguement that “things are going to change” doesnt apply with this device. Now things are going to change with subsequent devices. This was a larger out of date device than even I expected as I am not keen on apple products in the first place. Though I hoped this one would be some what compeditive as I wanted it to replace my phone (BB) and ipod with one device.

  • Z3NG0D

Fcking loser. LOL… If you love your useless BrokeBerry, then get out of this fcking site and waste $200 on those garbages. You make processors, but you carry a shit phone and an iphone without the iphone capabilities (aka ipod or iphone-wannabe). You are worse than a nerd. Now you wanna combine the 2 into a single device, but you talk shiet about it because it simply did what 3GS did with 3G. Not only did it change, it changed the world of smartphones and all mobile phones in general.

PS- if you are not keen on Apple products, then learn about them first before you open your fat stupid mouth.

i was waiting for this iphone for almost 1 year and i was struggling with broken and old cellphone for all that time.i also gather some money to buy the new iphone but unfortunately am sooooo disappointed with it and didn’t even think that they wont redesign it.However,SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 LTE HD is going to be release soon with a big screen 4.63inch and soo fast that i will get it for sure.

am so angry with apple. i even didn’t think that i go with samsung.

good buy apple and welcome “SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 LTE HD” :)

Oi…this is a buyers market and many people are dedicated to the iPhone. Watching what other mobs are producing and waiting for Apple to come up to speed is NOT being spoilt brats…it’s wanting what you would expect from the premier technology giant on the planet…The Samsung is a remarkable phone, but I’m one of those who’ve been holding out for the ’5′…and as for being an inventor…no, I’m not…but I pay bloody good money for the privilege of being locked int a 24 month contract…and I’m not keen to get stuck with the same bitch who’s just had a boob job and botox…

I had the Iphone 4 for a total of 6 months, you can make this phone your own ie: themes,multiple ringtones etc. its like everyones phone is the same I feel the name receives too much glory!!! I traded it in happily for a DROID Bionic and have never been happier, the only thing I miss about the iphone is the ability to do screen shots!!

Apples stocks have taken hit after every announcement. 4s look awesome to me. Finally a good camera always in pocket without having to buy Nokia. Excellent specs, that unlike competitors are going to be used as there was already pretty impressive Unreal 3 game demoed in announcement, which you cannot see in Android ecosystem even this long after launch. iPhone 4s even has separate image signal processor besides general processor and gpu. It has revamped Os, free cloud and pretty smart voice assistant(not only old fashioned voice commands for lauching apps which is so 90′s). Good battery life.

Overall, far more impressive stuff, than what Samsung can offer. +where are all the music making software for Android!?! I found a couple of simple synths, that were unplaybly laggy! They are the main reason for me to sell my Android phone and go back to iOS. It just works. Less talking about the specs and more functionality.

I agree Vicki. As disappointed as I am , owners of the Iphone 4 must be so much more pissed than me. I am currently using the Iphone 3GS so upgrading to the I Phone 4S gives a bit of a kick, for me it is still a new design. This is not the case for the current owners of the IPone 4, because upgrading menas they will still carry the same design for another year or so. I feel for the current owners of the IPhone 4.

What kind of company takes a phone that they have already had out for over a year and puts a couple of new things inside of it and then reveals it as a new revolutionary phone.. Its obvious that they dont give a shit about the consumers “US”. ITs the same damn phone!! Tomorow im taking the wife to AT&T and we are both getting the samsung galaxy SII since we have waited for over 3 months to upgrade.What a waste of damn time..

What do you guys really expect from a company that consistently lies about their battery life? Any iPhone owners here that can use WiFi for 10 hours or anywhere close to that? I am not sure what the benchmark they are using to measure this, but I get like 1 to 2 hours using Wifi. If they can BS about this, and we as consumers eat it like the dumbasses we are, then why can’t they roll out 4S and fck all of the stockholders in the ass?

  • travenz

    October 10, 2011 at 2:37 pm

well, I guess than the problem is your method of using your iphone. I got an iphone 4, and in average, I ussualy use wifi for about 6 hours and it still got another 40% approximately of remaining battery life.

Come on fellas, the Iphone 4s is what we should have been expecting. When the Iphone 3GS came out, it had exactly the same body as the 3, just with a quicker operating system, a better camera and a couple of other small changes. Same as the Iphone 4s. Same body as the 4, but with a better camera, better operating system, etc. Apple never said a thing about an Iphone 5. A lot of us have been had with all the rumors and so-called iphone 5 cases being leaked. Enjoy the new phone!
Cheers,

While TpC’s comment is a bit harsh, I gotta say that although I was hoping for a truly new iPhone this news didn’t ruin my opinion of Apple or my day. Be patient, people. I love my iPhone 4 and I’m sure that the TRULY NEW next iPhone will be really awesome, revolutionary and all of that shit.

It’s all about market share and timing folks. Deal with it. And Droids, Samsungs, etc are nothing more than weak attempts to keep up with Apple. You know it. We all know it.

Y’all stop complaining. Let apple take their time in making the iphone5. I’d rather them take two years and make the best iPhone yet than rush it and make a mess out of the iPhone line.

This should have been expected since that’s what they did with the 3. They made it, then made the 3GS then made the 4. Give them time and within the next year we will have our new iPhone.

And android will never compare to phone. Just saying…

  • umm

    October 5, 2011 at 3:52 am

Well then, keep your shitty iphone 3 since you seem to be so happy with it’s speed and performance instead of upgrading 3 models higher to a 4S which is “3000x faster” (Exaggeration obviously). That’ll show Apple, it really will.

Ahh.. apple… Holding off the latest tech so everyone would buy it now, then improve it next year… sheesh, 1 phone a year, now that’s not smart XD… Well, I guess that way they earn a lot.. but i mean come on… I’m pretty sure if they were to make their “Ultimate phone” now, people would be buying it for years.. :)

I don’t like this. I wanted iPhone 5. I passed up the iPhone 4 for hopes of a new iPhone because I felt the 4 was not that much of an upgrade. There, I said it. My 3G S is getting old…

But, the ridiculous comments like “o ma god apple why haz u forsaken me!?!!!111″ are absurd. They are a company that wants money, first and foremost. And Mr. Jobs is hardly Apple anymore, so that’s become irrelevant. Well, is $399 expensive for s smartphone these days? Not really, but for these features? I have to think twice. The only thing that really stands out is the voice recognition. I think we have to wait a day or two for Apple to post all information first… Yes, dissapointed.

Apple is not about doing everything first, they’re about doing everything BETTER.

These are just a couple of examples. I don’t have all day to go over the rest.

HAH, everyone ranting about apple’s disappointment of a new phone obviously haven’t read about all the features. *the ones this site fails to mention* Sure, it looks no different from the iphone 4, and sure we don’t really need faster speed because the iphone 4 is still fast, but have any of you read about the 4s’s new feature, Siri? Look it up. That thing is pretty freaking awesome. So yes, it is probably worth it to wait to buy the iphone 5/wait for the price of the 4s to go down, but this phone is not that bad.

    October 5, 2011 at 3:23 am

 

I admit that i was a bit disappointed, but tbh, im over it. All those that are complaining and whining… JUST GET OVER IT. The iPhone 4S is better than the 4, even if its just by a few features. Who cares if the screen is still 3.5″? i dont understand why people want a larger screen? I mean, theres a limit, if it gets too big, then it would get to the point where the phone will have to be bigger and for that there is a device called the iPad. So.. why dont you just get that one if you want “bigger”.
I have the 3G, so for me it would be a great upgrade but ill wait a bit to see what others say about it.

Again, deal with it.

I think the siri virtual assistant feature will be very useful feature. I don’t care how fast your fingers are if it can keep up with speech that quicker. Voice activated commands is the way of the future. I have never liked sms except for the shortest of messages. It seemed so inefficient when you can just make the call.

I guess now there will be lots of

I was making a pun on the name siri. Don’t get your knickers in a knot.
I don’t believe that siri won’t be a distraction. Humans are lousy at driving while their mind is diverted from controlling a vehicle to a electronic device. Lots of studies show deminished skill is the same whether using handfree or holding a phone whilst driving.

You guys are morons. If they just named the thing iPhone5 you’d be ranting and raving that it’s the holy Grail of iPhones. Because it’s just 4s you moan like a little girl….. Get over it, it’s just a number dumb ass….. Or wait for the new iPhone9 to be released soon…. LOL.

To much silly hype over an “iPhone 5″ from the internet makes you mad at Apple for this 4S release? Then you blame Tim Cook? How about you educate yourselves about Apple product releases and save your pathetic cries of disappointment for us to read about.

I knew an iPhone 4S was gonna come out, its just the trend of Apple. I like Siri, but the Galaxy SII kinda outshines this phone. It’ll probably still be a great phone overall though!

The iPhone 5 release date is delayed to sometime in 2012, most likely the summer but it’s anyone’s guess and Apple itself may not yet be sure.

Some people are pretty pathetic. THIS is like iPhone 3G and 3Gs. What did you guys say when the 3Gs came out. It’s the same fucking design as the 3G, no? Just different specs. So why are you so surprised that the 4S looks exactly like the iPhone 4? But the 4S has different specs. Quit whining, you’ve all seen this before. Especially the Android bops that come on to this site just to bash the iPhone and Apple. I’m sorry but the Motorola Droid 1,2, and 3 look pretty fucking similar to me. But I’m not bitching about it. And really, all of Android phones look all the fucking same to me.

    October 5, 2011 at 4:23 am

 

seriously, stop complaining, your all just upset…… it was never branded as revolutionary, just as an upgrade, hence why its the iphone 4S and not the iphone 5. if you dont like it, dont buy it, simple as that. I personally think it looks pretty good, if not a little expensive. Seriously though, all the little bitches “i waited so long for this damn apple theyre so bad” shutup, you stupid people made your own rumour about the iphone 5 that has made everyone so disappointed.

I was waiting for the iPhone 5, but I am glad I didn’t. I was willing to try an iPhone because I enjoy my iPad, but if the phone does not have 4G, it is an antique. 4GLTE on my bionic rivals my cable modem if it doesn’t actually beat it. Buy a phone for it’s features and not because you have a hard-on for a brand. I am going to dub this the Zack Morris phone.

I was hoping for the next big thing but we all knew this was Gunna happen of apple wants to continue to make money because if they put all of these awesome upgrades in one phone one year then they are going to try even harder to make a better phone the following year and then the following year and so on…..yes it is a disappointment but this way they will sell many many iPhone 5s next year because of all of us who got contracts last year will ne able to get the iPhone 5 when our contracts run up.

While it is true that Apple behaved in similar fashion with the 3GS, the competitive climate looked a lot different at the time. I would think Apple would buck that model in favor of maintaining an edge. I don’t think people are complaining that it’s a bad phone, I think people are appalled over the fact that the features that Apple decided to upgrade have already been covered by Droid… someone’s already been on that moon and stuck their flag in it. So in the spirit of competitiveness… and having the the next best thing on your hip, people were holding out for Apple’s grand middle finger to all of the competition. Instead, they decided to play par for the course. Ehhh

    October 5, 2011 at 5:44 am

 

Can you guys stop your bickering? I mean, yeah we expected a new design for the iPhone5, but this iPhone 4S is still great. It has better software than the iPhone 4. True? Plus, for the people who don’t own an Iphone or has an old Iphone, Iphone 4S is huge kick. So you guys shouldn’t complain and be all pissy at one little thing.

    October 5, 2011 at 6:17 am

 

Time has changed. Apple is loosing it’s ground on the mobile market, and today’s presentation is proof to that. Aldough the new iPhone has good features, it is way outdated in comparison to it’s competitors. Physical upgrades are far more important for some than internal. I have been upgrading iPhones every year for the past 4 years, but I will skip this one for sure… HUGE disappointment!!! Apple I hope you will learn your lesson…

I have a Samsung GS2. The phone works so fine. I use the texting, i use the camera – There was no reason to update – i don’t need a bunch of apps to make me feel occupied while I should be socializing with whom I am surrounded by. To me it does not make them look socially important. Yes i do have apps, all of them free, but apps on this phone really do not do anything to improve the quality of life for any one .

  • Happy with my 4

    October 5, 2011 at 6:54 am

 

I upgraded from a 3G to a 4 in June cos I just didn’t want to wait, and I have to say I’m still impressed with it, I think it’s brilliant and don’t get this obsession with speed or the need for it to look different.
My 4 is WAY faster than the 3G was simply due to the fact the hardware of the 3G couldn’t handle the iOS any more – The 4 is sooo fast in comparison, how much faster can it get ? are you really gonna notice ?
So the 4S is gonna look just like the 4 ?, Not a problem, I happen to think the 4 is the best looking phone out there in my humble opinion :) , course, you’re welcome to yours….
Don’t get why people are so upset – Did they not upgrade the processor ?, the camera ?, the operating system ?, they already HAVE the best display out there in the Retina display – Bigger is not always better, in fact it will just display all those flaws in the inferior quality screens !, Personally i don’t want something the size of a paperback in my pocket, Want BIG ? get an iPad !
they have the biggest number of apps available BY FAR than anybody else,
Now it has an antenna capable of working on multiple networks, plus, here comes iOS5 with 200 new features and the iCloud, Not to mention Siri, which looks pretty innovative and is sure to be a game changer when people get used to using it.
I’m sure people are reading this thinking “Fanboy”, but actually I’m not, I’m just a satisfied consumer that is happy with my choice of smartphone !
Guess I’m the only one…..

WTF?!! i passed on the blk iphone 4 when it first came out in june ’10 cuz apple said the wht version was coming out…after dicking us around for a couple wks, then a couple months, they finally say it’s coming out in spring ’11…why the hell would i want the wht one then when supposedly the iphone 5 was coming out a couple months later in summer ‘ll? so i waited til june, then it’s delayed again til oct…and now all we’re getting is the focking 4S??? give me a fockin break! same design plus voice commands, but faster??? whoopie fockin doo!

 

  • Disappointed

    October 5, 2011 at 7:59 am

 

I have to agree with the masses. Everyone who is saying o it’s still a great iPhone with new features is a retarded fan boy and buying the 4s will not let apple realize they failed big this time. We have been waiting a year now while competitors have been coming out with laptop docks, hdmi out, fingerprint readers, swype, 4″,4.3″,5″ screens, dual core, 1-2gig ram, the list could go on for a while but I’ll stop there. And what does apple do. Grabs some processors they had lying around from the iPad2 and slapped it in phone and gonna resell the iphone4. Come on. Same ram. Same small ass screen. Same battery so the dual core has to effect batt life. The camera some say is amazing ooo 1080p videos. The have been out for over 8mos on everyone else’s phones. O don’t forget ios5. They are adding a pull down screen like android has. Very let down apple. And to the retard that said they aren’t changing the case n they screen so they are saving us money. How do u figure. They are charging us 199-399 for the same shit they have had sitting in warehouses that they are paying min wage for someone to pop out chip pop in new one and swap cameras. That’s innovation there. Should be price dropped to $99. O well I stuck around hoping apple would blow away all competition with this release only to have to decide now droid bionic or samsung galaxy s2. Think ima order the s2. Been with apple since the original iPhone and it’s time for a change

The iPhone 4S is a logical step forward. It now has the technology that the iPhone 5 will have and is an absolutely fantastic phone to boot. Sure, if you have a 4 it does not make you want to go out and get one. If people are stupid enough to buy every single new model that come out, bigger fool them Do you do that with your car?

The only mistake Apple made here was believing that the general public aren’t a bunch of total idiots (like a lot of the people who commented on this story) and that they would understand the improvements of this device. Android phones can put stats on paper all they want, but paper will NEVER translate to actual REAL WORLD use. I am an android user (Droid X) and my wife has iPhone 4. I’ve done numerous side by side speed tests with different apps and web pages and the results are the same every time, iPhone hands down. Supposedly my Droid X has “faster” processor and “more” RAM but somehow it ALWAYS falls short of the iPhone 4 because Apple’s iOS user interface just works how it supposed to and when its supposed to. Apple has introduced a phone that in REAL WORLD use is better than anything android could ever have, yet people complain because it doesn’t look different. Does the phrase “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” ring a bell here? The design of iPhone is as close to perfect as it can get, not just in my opinion, but millions of others also. To say there’s nothing different could possibly be the most retarded thing anyone could say about this device. Did you even read the articles and see the comparisons? Just because it doesn’t have 5 in the name doesn’t mean its not different! And I am baffled at why android fanboys look at this website just to bash Apple. Go back to your android forums and piss and moan all you want. I for one am excited about this device and can’t wait to own one. Simply put…If you don’t like it, DON’T BUY IT!

  • Jacob

    October 9, 2011 at 4:07 pm

I pre-ordered the 4s on Friday. This is my first iPhone. I love the iPhone operating system and it is the only touch screen that I don’t find it to be a pain to text on.

Those of you complaining about this not being the 5, why? Just why? It’s two best new features is the processing speed that is 7x as fast as their previously best phone, and better camera. For you people tripping out this IS the iPhone 5 but without a new design(pointless addition that shouldn’t matter as it adds no functionality to the phone)and a screen that is no bigger that the 4 but still only slightly smaller than what the 5 is supposed to have.

All those improvements are fine, nothing to make you go “wow”. All they needed to do would be make the screen a little bigger and a bit of a design face lift and called it an Iphone 5. That way the minimum requirement of a new model would have been achieved. They havn’t even done that

    October 5, 2011 at 6:49 pm

 

There are 3 main new features with this device. Better camera-The iPhone 4 already has a great camera compared to other phones and some people use the camera a fraction of the time. The A5 chip is cool but some people don’t need that much power. And finally the voice thing ‘Siri’ if you were to pull this out at a party or school you would just get laughed at its more like a gimmick. Whoever needs an assistant should just become more smarter and research it themselves. This way by ignoring these new features you can buy the same phone but for cheaper.

It seems there are a lot of spoilt kids out there who aren’t happy unless technology is upgraded every possible minute! Appreciate the era we live in ffs!

Get a life people. The technology offered in this phone is far greater than what any of you probably could have dreamed of 5 years ago. If you don’t like it, go with the competition, but I certainly think that the amount of power packed into this palm sized package is astounding, and pretty damn fun to use.

 

  • rl_yow

    October 6, 2011 at 5:37 am

 

I don’t think this is disappointing at all, changing your iPhone every year only shows your desire of being “in”, but honestly I think having your iPhone for 2 years is good and specially when for those attached to carrier’s contracts. On the other hand, iOS 5 is really the most important new feature, as a dev I’ve been using it for a while and it’s awesome. And let’s be honest new carriers (Verizon and Sprint) won’t agree to have iPhone 4 for less than a year, business-wise it’s absurd to think iPhone 5 was in less-than-a-year span for Verizon.

Here we go everyone exactly what i have been trying to say to u all. here is the exact quotes from one of apples sites, Apple never said there would be an iPhone 5 in 2011, and even our use of the word “delay” here is subjective relative to when Apple most likely thought it was going to launch the iPhone 5.

Sure, they skewed they’re typical release schedule a bit this last time, but I knew all along there would not be a completely redesigned “iPhone 5″. I knew it would be a modified iPhone 4. And I didn’t know this because I’m some super-genius or can see the future, I just looked at Apple’s history.

The disappointed people can only blame themselves as they apparently can’t be bothered to pay attention. Not Apple’s fault if you pumped yourself up for something that was clearly not going to happen the way you personally envisioned.

Again, sorry to be a dick about it, but I’m so sick of this Me-me-me Everything Must Be How I Want It Entitlement mentality.

Iphone 5… Just name! The only things wrong with number 4 has been fixed with this new version. Iphone 3′s designe was outdated, while this is one sharp and clean. We get a new CPY, more MP for the camera, and the antenna is fixed. All the other things people want are just specs to satisfy geeks!
Thanks Apple, and huge regards conserning Steve Jobs.

Forget upgrading to a “S” model. I regret not waiting for the iPhone4, which made a huge leap in wow factor in comparison. I’m a diehard Apple fan, but I urge everyone to boycott this 4S phone so that iPhone5 will come to market sooner.

I actually can not wait for the Iphone 4s! Had my 3gs for 2 years and can not wait to upgrade. Makes me laugh that everyone goes on about Android being better etc, because when you think about it, if it wasnt for Iphone, half the stuff Android and that do wouldnt exsist becuase Apple was doing it first. Another thing is an Iphone 5 was never confirmed, that was just rumors, so I am not disapointed, at all. RIP Steve Jobs.
