The *official* iPhone 4S thread ... *officially* announced today!!! (*official* iPhone5 thread pending)

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?

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.
Most customers in US probably. Apple said when they opened their Hong Kong store they sold more Macs/iDevices (don't remember which one) than any other store in the world on opening day.

That's where the money is..Asia. And most people there go month to month buying their phones in full, sans contract.

Siri: Supposedly you're going to be able to as 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.
So...kind of like Bing voice search? laugh out loud

The Weather app has always been on the iPhone Confused




Siri does dictation — now whenever you see a keyboard, you'll see a microphone. Talk to Siri, tap done, and in the blink of an eye it comes back with your text. Speak with your natural language."

Scott asks "Who are you?" Siri says "I am a humble personal assistant." Humble for now, maybe. That round of applause might change things.

You: Siri make plans for dinner with my wife on Friday
Siri: I'm afraid I can't do that Dave.
You: Why not?
Siri: It would be negligible to your health Dave. I assure you.
You: What?
Siri: Your wife will incur a deadly car crash 5 minutes before that Dave. It would make you quite sad Dave.

You:...........what?
Siri: How can I help you?

18-24 hours before I have to charge it depending on what I'm doing.

Not the weather app..I meant with asking Siri "What is the weather/forecast today?".

I think I was able to do that with Windows Mobile even...

Oh yeah. It's definitely pretty neat. I want to see a video though. I wonder if it'll do a "natural" voice or more of a "ROBOT" voice.









It'll hit US, Canada, Australia, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. In the US it'll be Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint!

Pre-orders start this Friday, October 7th.

On the 28th 22 more countries, and 70 countries by the end of the year. Over 100 carriers. "Fastest rollout ever."

Pre-orders on the October 7th, and then launching on the 14th. Will also be available on Sprint. The only carrier left out now is T-Mobile.

I loved all the iFans thinking "Oh Apple made us wait an extra 3 months...they wouldn't screw us over with just a 4S and no iPhone 5.."

Funny how anyone who likes Apple is labeled a fan boy with a negative connotation, but people idiots like this are just enthusiastic about the product they like. Dontknow

Maybe they're expecting the ATT/TMobile merger to go through and make that a moot point?
