I hate apple for these crappy interim updates. Squeezing every last penny.

A new case and they could have called it a 5.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

All i wanted was a new case, the function was perfect with the 4, don't need any more power.

Share price has dropped 4% and still going, a bad move from Apple is a rare one but judging by my Facebook stream there are a lot of disappointed people out there!!

That's a shame, I was expecting some better tbh. I went from 3G to 4, so 4 to 5 in 12m lloks more likely

If they improve the screen on the ipad I'll jump the 2 as well  :wink:

Looks like the same sort of speed bump/extra capacity  that the 3G to the 3GS had

Looks like Apple are only doing major updates to the physical appearance every two years

SIRI looks pretty impressive along with the improved camera

Just waiting for the 4S to be jailbroken before I upgrade my 4 with a capacity increase  :pomppomp:

Same spec as my Sensation, pretty dissapointed to be honest! In fact without a proper look, it might be worse than my HTC! Plus it won't run half the software that this will, used to be a huge apple fan but the 4 let me down!

Do we know what the software update will add to the 4?
