    Anyone that has been watching the news will have seen the iPhone 4S was just released, camera at 8 mega pixel is fairly retarded f/2.8 :-)

    “For the iPhone 4s, we set our sights on competing not with other phones, but with point and shoot cameras. … So we’ve added an 8 megapixel sensor that shoots 3264×2448. … we’ve also added backside illumination with a sensor that gathers 72 percent more light… on top of that we’ve placed a hybrid IR filter for better color accuracy … and we have a 5 element lens that offers 30 percent more sharpness, f/2.4 aperture.”

    Anyone going to get one?

    Also iSO 5 is available from next week I believe :-)

    Discuss :-)

    In a word, no. Shame no iPhone 5 after all the hype. I like the look of the new Mango Windows phones. Might get one of them when I upgrade in December.

    Can't see this doing apple's share prices any good.

    Nope
    Iphones have been a let down since the 2g imo. The 2g was groundbreaking at the time it was released, I was that excited I even bought one from the states almost 2 months before it could be unlocked here. Since then I don't think they make the grade over other phones around. I still use one but I won't be upgrading, sick to death of it doing weird shit with a mind of its own.

    I can't understand the thinking behind it, they've upgraded all the internals to make them faster than anything else on the market. Then didn't bother to design a new case to display it all in.

    Any news on screen size yet, surely they can't be keeping the 3.5" screen of old??

    Edit: yes they can :wack:

    Its a long way behind the fastest phones on the market, htc have a 1.5ghz dual core phone launching here next week, i'm pretty sure androids had better specs than the 4s this time last year!!

    Why would anyone want an iPhone? I really don't get it? I've always looked at them at renewel time, but then always get a differnt phone because its better.
    I almost went for the iPhone 4, then compared it with the HTC desire HD. The HTC is miles better and cheaper

    Well I got an iPhone year and a half ago, be it a 3GS 16GB, I had it free on a 2 year contract, it was £45 a month with a £5 loyaty discount, so free phone, 1200 mins with free 200mins bolt on (so 1400mins) unlimited text and unlimited data (yeah before they had the cap on usage)

    So for £40 all in a month you can't really beat that!

    Today I decide to get an iPhone 4, my sister wanted a contract so took a new contract in my name and gave her the contract with iPhone 3GS (gave her it free) and she is paying £20 of the contact and I pay £10 for 18 months, so iPhone 4 cost me £180... When my actually contact ends in 3 months I will sell the iPhone 4 to get my £180 back and get me a iPhone 4s...

    Or I will go onto simplicity and just keep the iPhone 4...

    :-)

    So it's still single core? That is an interesting move.

    I've got a 4, it's great. Never had any problems with it, works great, and loads of apps available for it...I personally wouldn't bother with any other phone...neither would apple apparently. I can see why some people don't like them though

    I have a 3gs 32gb at the moment and to be totally honest I think it does everything I need it to and more.

    I got mine a Feb 2010 because I was due an upgrade, only downsides were paying for the phone andthe 2 year contract but since I needed to buy a new MP3 player as my Cowon iAudio had broken at the same time and I had been with O2 since I was 18 it didn't make a massive difference.

    The main reason I got it were the fact that its an MP3 player that is also a phone.

    Half the numpties that were saying they were shite etc all had iPods(mostly the touch) and they loved them which I could not understand.

    I was intending on getting a 5 when I'm due an upgrade but the 4S will do fine. Altough I will keep the 3GS because there is fuck all wrong with it as far as I can see.

    i dont get what all the moaning is about?

    i have recently got an iphone 4. it makes calls, it takes good pictures, i can get on driftworks and facebook using it, i can send pictures, make video calls, have a little map to find out where i am, listen to music and i can play angry birds.

    not once have i thought or said, "this phone is shit because it doenst do..."

    in fact i cant think of what else you could really want a phone to do?
