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?

When can I buy it?

Quote from Curtieson :
No you aren't...

They are aiming for the crowd that loves the logo and will spend $200 a year for the same old technology with their spin.

You think common folk CARE about "7x faster graphics"??? What does that mean to anyone??? All it will be used as is a selling point and a way for someone to have the perceived notion they get a "good" deal.

Speed is just so up in the air now in the moble market anyway...the fastest device out there might be an android but it is slowed way down by a laggy OS...so what are you really supposed to believe?

In the end...it is one of the smallest screens on the market with the largest frame (black non-screen space) of basically any phone available...also it is the most expensive 16 GB model available in that micro screen size market...that being said...it will sell millions!

Couple Questions:

Since the Iphone 4S is a world phone and unbranded does that mean it will be easier to unlock?

How much will the 4S be off contract?

How much will last gen's Ipod touch 4 cost now that the new repackaged one is being released?
All carriers will carry the same iPhone 4S and it allows the users to insert any SIM card. You could buy the iPhone without a contract but it will cost you.

They didn't give prices on old iPod Touches. I would check the Apple Store in a few days to see if they have updated prices for leftover iPods

No, that is two different things really...I don't see anything changing in terms of the jailbreak...or do you mean locked as in SIM / Carrier Locked?

Quote from WERTXL :

Nothing will change from the current iPhone 4 prices, I think it was 1 Kidney and you left leg. (Seriously though...I'd expect $600)

Current cost -$100 is the path they usually take.

I can...they didn't release it in July...that sent everything nuts.

Also, just as people are wrong to say it is an iPhone 4G, you are equally wrong in calling it an iPhone 3S, haha. So I must insist on correcting you...They went from 3G to 3GS to 4
My bad, you are correct about the missing G laugh out loud

Now I must correct you. Technically, it is 4G (even though I don't recall ever calling it that). You are wrong in assuming that the G stands for the network speed, or carrier's network, when in fact it is a 4th Generation iPhone. Whee

Yes, yes you are.

And yes, yes I would expect you to buy one of these. (I believe Oct 14th was the date they released)

No, I do not assume the G stands for 4th GENERATION of network speed specifications, haha.

I am "assuming" that Apple branded it as a iPhone 4 in their marketing department, not a 4G, so that is why it is incorrect to call it that Smilie laugh out loud

Don't you think that Apple could be positioning itself to provide a platform for handheld gaming? I thought that was the fastest growing sector ...

Either way, Please point out where I called it that Dontknow

I will gladly apologize if I did incorrectly label the iPhone 4 or 4S

Iagree
