Monroe Transfer 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 On one hand it's massively underwhleming (oh wow, a new row for apps!), and on the other hand that's not Apple's fault - there isn't much more that can be added to smartphones that hasn't already been introduced. From now on it's about improving things, such as more powerful processors and better battery life. Not really sure why anyone would feel a desperate need to upgrade to this from a 4/4S unless they're massively into their mobile gaming/a rabid Apple fanboy.

Renton 17623 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) But if you're upgrading from a 3g ........ That's fair enough CT but I'd check out the top end Androids first if I were you. This phone is massively underwhelming considering the delay, I'm not sure it's worth the premium. I'm definitely going Android now, can't stand the closed ecosystem of Apple any more and iTunes. IOS is looking ancient now as well, which it is, because IOS6 is backwardly compatible with the 3GS I believe. Unlike the new adapter. Really don't like the shape of this either; all the rumours were true. Edited September 12, 2012 by Renton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Got a 4s so no need to upgrade but looks good. Definitely looks better than any competition like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Whats the difference between that and the instagram thing. They're two completely different things, as in anybody can see your photos on Instagram. WhatsApp is just a free text messaging app that comes from data instead. I have both and rarely send a proper text message now as most of my mates use WhatsApp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 CT, get an iphone, as if you care about a 'closed ecosystem'. Looks nice to me, we are getting them at work next year as we are dumping Blackberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26178 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So it's basically just a larger screen then? They've missed a trick by not including NFC (for whatever reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice to me, we are getting them at work next year as we are dumping Blackberry. No the closed ecosystem wont deter me. The big decision over here is whether to go with the new company EE, who have just launched 4G (In 4 cities only) or stick with O2 who I think are yet to name a date when they will launch 4g.

Got a mate who works for Orange (Well, EE), apparently the 4G is going to be EE exclusive for a long time.

Happy Face 29 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Tech radar constantly update their top 20. They place the 4 at 20th when compared to other smart phones and the 4s 3rd.... http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/20-best-mobile-phones-in-the-world-today-645440?artc_pg=1 Strange they see such a difference between them when they also damn the 4s with faint praise such as "OK, so it doesn't feel different in the pocket...and the updates don't seem to be that ground-breaking" Also pointing out "identical in looks to the iPhone 4...It's one of the most expensive phones on the market... the iPhone 4 and 3GS are cheaper alternatives" ...and "a lack of Bluetooth transfer, no Flash integration with the internet browser and an uninspiring contacts app still grate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I suggest skyfire to anyone who has a huge problem with not having flash . I use it to look at youtube videos and while it's not perfect it's still in development iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thats what deters me. Personally though I can't wait to drag and drop again (ironically what Apple pioneered). What I'm saying is compare handsets cos the iPhone 5 is a fucked up shape. I reckon in a couple of years it'll become apparent that the 4s signalled the end of Apple's dominance. You can't maintain a closed system without being technically superior and innovative, but Apple are now playing catch up. As for 4g, not sure it will make sense to become an early adopter unless you're willing to pay the premium which I expect will be a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Does Android have an iTunes match equivalent? Does it live update things like bookmarks using a cloud service? Live updating of things like music playlists and bookmarks across laptop, tablet and phone is the number one feature for me from Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's none higher than the 4s There is not a lot between the 4 and 4S phones but one thing i can categorically say as a Blackberry user is that nothing they have even beats the 3G, nevermind the 4.

Agreed, but having the 4 and the 4s on the list is dafter than having any blackberries. There's a lot of blackberry fanboys. Not sure why anyone would look beyond the top 10 anyways.
