After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I am not upgrading to whatever Apple brings out on the 4th. Just give me iOS 5.....![]()
Maybe apple put that 4s In iTunes just to mess with people lol n pulled it just to mess with you more lol I would do it just saying
It's yours! No charge. And you'll probably get it before even the new iPhone comes out. Your "old" iPhone 4 effectively becomes a new iPhone with loads of new features: improved notifications, iMessage, integrated Twitter, Newsstand, Reminders, PhotoStream, camera from the lock screen, tabbed browsing, reading list, iCloud, WiFi Sync and possibly improved voice commands & voice to text. You probably won't get the Siri/Assistant capability, but what you end up with should feel pretty jazzed up.
iOS 5 does indeed give you the feel of a new phone. i really hope that newsstand can go into a folder. it's driving me nuts!
And millions more will buy Android phones, I didn't wait 16 months to buy another iPhone 4 with a spec bump, that would be utterly pathetic for the world's most valuable company. The iPhone 4suck is what they should call it, or 4suckers cause that's the only people who will buy it.
The big question now is, will Apple become the next RIM? "Just good enough" doesn't cut it in this market.
Where do the lines start for the Nexus Prime?
And btw, just what in the hell have they been doing the last two years over at Apple? They could have put this turd together in a week.
You realize all of us here are a minority right? The normal consumer doesn't care. They just know it's the newest and best from Apple. Apple is well aware of this. The 4S will be the best selling phone for the unforeseeable future. Name one iPhone that hasn't been. Can't do it...
Yes, there will be an iPhone5 - will it be announced on Tuesday?? That is the great unknown. That thing on Cin-Bell could just be a placeholder they labeled "iPhone5" and will most likely be replaced with whatever the real thing is upon the announcement.
tipb.com is full of crap on that iTunes story. No such thing was leaked from iTunes. Read "Update 2" at the bottom for the real scoop: iPhone 5 appears temporarily on Cincinnati Bell website (Updated) | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
Bottom Line: DON'T LOSE HOPE! THERE WILL BE AN iPhone 5!!
LMAO!!!! I couldn't agree with you more.
And I'm being serious, it took them almost 2 years to pop in a different camera sensor and A5 chip? Seriously? And people consider this innovative or groundbreaking??

So what does it take for you (not "you" personally, but the average iPhone user) to swap platforms? I'm serious when I ask that. I understand the frustration, but lots of people are voicing their anger/frustration with what they perceive to be lack of innovation - but they keep buying iPhones.
So, again, I ask, what would make you leave the iOS platform for Android, or Windows Phone?
1. Apple is not RIM. They made huge advances in iOS 5 this year, and iOS 4 was already the most stable and intuitive OS out there (and, with the iPod touch and iPad, the most successful mobile OS). They are not getting complacent. Apple could re-release the iPhone 4 exactly as-is, and make it available in just 2 new colours. You can bet your life's savings that there would be line ups as far as the eye can see.
2. Nowhere. You will find it very easy to be first in line wherever you choose for the next Android hero. People don't have the time or the money to line up again and again every 3 months.
3. Apple actually takes time to develop their products. Each new device is a real commitment for Apple. And, in what world is 16 months 2 years? It's 1.3 years... Talk about rounding up!
Personally if there isn't a redesigned iPhone, my thought is that there was, but they couldn't reach the demand or there was manufacturing issues. There is always the possibility though that Apple is being so secretive that even the people leaking these rumours truly believe there is only a 4S, meanwhile Apple's higher-ups are plotting for the iPhone 5 release.
A year from today Apple will be weeks away from reporting over $150 billion in revenue. RIM will be lucky to hold steady at $20 billion.
Any lines for the Prime will be short and short lived. It's expected to be announced Oct. 11th, right? Will it hit the shelves right away? The next iPhone is expected to hit the shelves sometime between Oct. 14-25. Do you seriously believe the lines for the Prime will come anywhere close to lines for the 5th gen iPhone?
Let's come back to this post in 3 weeks.
Who are you, Eric Schmidt? Haha..![]()
