uum the sgs2 was outselling the i4 in Korea or wherever so it isn't outselling that phone so not every phone in existence
Please forgive me, in the USA.
Never checked your PM's either...

While those things are good additions, they are not what most people were looking for, the notification system was the biggest mess, and yet they still only managed to halfway fix it, you'll still need to jailbreak to get a status bar icon! The cloud offers me nothing, I have 1 gig of music on my phone, so it's a gimmick, iMessage is ok, but I have unlimited texting, so again it's of no benefit. Still no Facetime over 3G, I've been doing it for over a year thanks to the jailbreak devs If the focus was on the software side, that's pretty bad, they are playing catch-up with other phones and yet they still didn't get it right.
Meanwhile other companies are pumping out a dozen phones or more every year, in all shapes and sizes, with more software features, yet you're telling me the most valuable company on Earth can't build one phone and one OS update every year? I don't buy that because it's utter nonsense, the only thing that could stop Apple is they are choosing not to.
While there is truth to that, after spending time with some of my friends "inferior" Android phones, that are much faster, and offer a far better "user experience", than the locked down iPhone, I wonder if that's just marketing spin.
What exactly is there to be excited about with iOS 5? The only things that interest me is the notification system and Reminders, I know the jailbreak devs will fix the flaws of the notification system, but then I have had a superior notification system on my iPhone for a couple years now.
The UI is still exactly as it was in 07, when you look at OS 1 and OS 5 they look identical, and just like a car that hasn't be re-designed in ten years, it looks and feels stale, eventually the average consumer is going to catch on (which I personally feel they already have going by how many people I know that have left the iPhone).
And those people would probably still be happy with a RAZR, I believe Apple should strive to be the best, and that's how the iPhone became #1, never updating the thing because Sally soccer mom is a moron and won't notice, doesn't seem like a good business plan.
I really hope Apple has a secret iPhone 5 they've been hiding with a larger screen and other improvements, but I'm not holding out much hope, the iPhone 4 was a must buy, now 15 months later, buying another iPhone 4 with the same boring locked down OS seems like a bad investment. I think some people really need to go out and see some of the new phones out from the competition, they really are good.
I have heard that iPhone 5 Price Starts from $425, it is true ?
I find it hard to believe that Apple would wait this long and release a minimal upgrade.... I think a lot of these blogs are getting info.... But about the i4 for sprint or the i4 entry level model....

It is no different than the 3G and 3GS honestly. They simply beefed up the 3G and called it a day. I'm not sure how that is all that shocking. I wish I knew every little detail but I don't. Perhaps they are sticking with that pattern.
Look at it this way, currently the iPhone 4 is still the best selling phone out there after being out for well over a year at this point. Apple knows a beefed up 4 will sell well. And it will.
And I'll say it again, I hope to God I've been lied to.
I don't understand why a new design is so important. New specs are where it's at.

I think people see what the newer phones are like and really want the iPhone to be like them. However, this is not going to happen with apple. While I do think they care a little about the looks, they are more focused on putting out a high quality product, VS some look a like.
Or maybe people just want a larger screen to help their eyes or when typing. Yeah the retina display is nice but it is still hard for some to use a 3.5 inch screen. I'm not saying 4.3 inch screen I think 4 inch would be fine and not make the overall size that much larger.
