Apparently 1 in 3 Americans want a device that hasn't been announced yet. I don't recall that poll, but I'm willing to perform due diligence and start one in the Lounge.

Do you want one?



laugh out loud
Do you plan on buying the next iPhone (4S/4GS/5/etc) within the next year?
Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.

I think no LTE on this phone will teach a lesson to Apple.

I like the internal upgrades. Pretty awesome. What I don't like is that the chassis looks the same.

That's because you're not thinking like Apple.

a.) Offer some upgrades inside=cheap
b.) Not have to redesign freaking everything =money saver
c.) People will still buy it no matter what, and you can whore out the same accessories = more money
d.) PROFIT.

You also have to remember that most of their customer base is locked into 2 year deals. Why reinvent the wheel every year when they will lose all those sales. Wasted time, energy and money.



Siri: Supposedly you're going to be able to ask your iPhone a real question and get a real answer.

It could also help you find restaurants, theaters, and other points of interest around you.

Siri can also read the messages in your notification queue, hands-free.

Had to talk to the iPhone slowly in the demo, like you would to a child.



Siri has Wikipedia intergration
