I've been waiting to update my iPhone but I'm not sure now that I'll stick with Apple. This new phone looks to have some cool new features but it still has some fundamental flaws (or stupid restrictions imposed by Apple) that I'm beginning to lose faith in the iPhone. It amazes me that Apple still refuses to support flash for instance and that you cannot send files via bluetooth to a non apple product without jailbreaking the phone. I used to be a big Apple fanboy way back but not these days. I don't like the way that they want to keep everything within their own universe and won't play on a more open field. I realise that that is their business plan. To control the whole user experience from hardware to content and force you on a continual upgrade path once a year. Apple are just too big and powerful these days. Might be time to switch to Android. They only thing stopping me are apps.

I would imagine that it will take a few days to be jailbroken so i would say no at launch but give it a week and it will be

Just do what I'm doing. Get the 4S now and then get the 5 when that comes out.

Simples

But its a recession

See your coming at this all wrong. Sell your 3GS and put the moolah towards the 4S. You can get between £120-£134 from mazuma for the 3GS depending on model. That takes a 4S down to at least £379 for the 16GB Model. Then when it comes to the iPhone 5 you sell the 4S for around £300 and voila you have an iPhone 5 for around half the price for a 64GB one

Chaps where can I find out which bits of iOS5 will work on a 3GS? I presume that it isn't everything...

JPC · October 05, 2011, 10:31:19 AM

I've been running my 3GS with ios 5 for about 3-4 months now and it's great. Pretty much all of it works but I think Siri is exclusive to the 4s

Tfsi_Mike · October 05, 2011, 10:55:55 AM

Gonna wait for the spec of the new nexus before I make a decision on the 4S, already confirmed it has a 720p hd screen hmmm...

Need to know the US none contract pricing if they will do tt without! Auntie is currently there so if it works out cheaper she will pick me on up!

If not then sell this 4 and get the 4S, I;m a geek and have had each iPhone and plan to carry on, all contract free though so it's a large outlay!

Hmmm thats much better will do that

I was thinking about getting a cheapo andriod and crashing it out till the iphone 5 comes along, but then I remember that all gadgets these days are all apple orientated. Bose dock in my car, apple only, bose at home, again apple compatible docks, aftermarket headunits all cater to apple.

Therefore I have no option than to stick with apple unless I dont care about loosing my functionability.

Iphone in glovebox, listening to my library, charging the phone, with bluetooth on is something I couldnt do without.

Now do I get the 32gb or the 64gb!

I am not going to lie, yesterday's announcement left me a little disappointed as i really wanted the rumoured iPhone 5 to be the next iteration. In my personal opinion and i know i'm going to get flamed for saving this but the iPhone 4s isn't a significant enough upgrade to warrant committing to a 18-24 month contract or paying the £499 for a PAYG handset, my contract is up for renewal shortly so i'm going to sell my iPhone4 and use my work provided Galaxy S2 instead. The £300-£350 made from selling the handset will be squirreled away or as i expect will happen be spent on car or camera p0rn!
