    Anonymous, 23 May 2011Curved glass... Apple will do anything to sell the same pho... moreIPhone 3G and 3GS wasn't same, 3GS was much better, much speedier more cabable. 3GS was first truly amazing touchscreen Phone, it's still surprise me how cabable and powerful it is, still very good phone and perfectly smooth, 3G got old long time ago.

    Same for iPhone 4 there's not much things to do with iPhone hardware, it's so good and perfectly optimized and balanced. iOS is the one which scream improvements not hardware.

          Your iPhone 4 had scratches on the glass because it does NOT have gorilla glass. It was heavily rumored to have it but it was proven false.

              mark, 23 May 2011sounds another great idea. but gorilla glas is crap anyway.... moreWell if you small scrathes already you were not taking perfect care of it. Everyone getsd some small scratches. And believe you me that gorrilla glass is pretty awesome stuff.
              If you have some small ones already it would be a lot worse if it was not gorrilla.

                      Apple is not worth bothering about anymore, they have been so slow to catch up with other vendors that they lost the battle altogether. The system is too inflexible, confines the user and is proprietary.The number of Android users is already more than twice that of iOS and this is accelerating.

                        Curved glass... Apple will do anything to sell the same phone for another year, just like they did with 3Gs.

                                It wouldn't be called 4S, it's the 5th iphone. So iphone 5 is garanteed.

                                      they should make the glass out of concrete, this would make all the people who see little scratches stop complaining
