Okay, so all you haters and whiners,
You don't appreciate the A5 chip which, as proven, mashes up all the competitors' CPUs,
You don't appreciate the new camera, which is as good as the best Android phones,
You don't appreciate the new clever antenna system which makes 4G speeds, without 4G,
You don't appreciate the new awesome Siri voice assistant,
You don't appreciate the extended battery life,
You don't appreciate the fact that it is a world phone.
JUST BECAUSE IT HAS NO NEW CASE! IT STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL EVEN TODAY, AND I STILL FIND IT THE BEST DESIGN OF A SMARTPHONE!

Person 1: Oh crap, I'm getting an Android phone. The 4S sucks
Person 2: Why, so you don't like the new stuff it has?
Person 1: No, I like those features but the fact is that I wanted a phone half an inch bigger and a millimetre thinner.

I am finally going to get a smartphone as my dumb phone just ran out of contract.. I was really anticipating this. I have a macbook pro, and an iPod.. but this phone is just flat out disappointing. I have been looking at an HTC or the Bionic, I guess I'm going with either one of those. Really let down by this, as I've wanted an iPhone since the 4 was announced, but since then android has really caught up. I think the market is about to sway, not in apples direction.
You've never handled a "smart phone" but you do have the ability to analyze and compare them?
Damn, they better announce something awesome or the stock will be cheaper than a Big Mac
Then you'd have the opportunity to buy a few shares.
What a dopey comment.

New processor is to be expected, each year technology improves...
Camera is good to begin with, they need to make the cover for the lens/eye/whatever better because it is the only thing scratched on my phone.
The speeds are only as fast as the network.
Ive had dumb phones with voice assistant and never ever tried or wanted to use it.
Battery improvement should happen anyway.
World phone...who cares, someone on Verizon currently probably isnt too worried about it and neither is someone on AT&T. That is more for Apple, they now have 1 phone that works with every carrier.
