i think this is the beginning of the end of apple. no offense to apple fans, but come on all of the people are waiting and dying to see a new and latest innovation from apple then all we get is an upgrade version? i hope there's an i pad3 and new version of i touch.

      Whereas I appreciate GSMArena's coverage of the iPhone, I'm not sure an app tray classifies as a smartphone anymore. An OS that is nothing more than an app-launcher ought to be buttery smooth. It's not like it's busy running or doing much more. Whilst iPhone 4S users are waiting for Spring, so they can talk to their phone, I'll be enjoying Vlingo... a bigger screen, more customization, root access, homescreens. Shall I go on?

          I'm sure many many 3gs owners will agree with me.

          And let's clear this, iPhone is for average people not tech geeks. So it doesn't matter if it hasn't all the newest kiler specs, using the phone is everything what matters.

                There might be better devices or os in the market. But it boils down to individual liking n preference. If so wishes to have an icecream, he wont be going for burgers to suffice his taste.
                So there is no point trolling one or the other device.

                      After a long analysis Apple came out with this small crap. Market is now having a lot of Dual core and far more better phones than 4S. Tim can't handle the position that Steve has created. Steve was really unique.

                        A5 chip processor without any bump in battery capacity means it will drain your iPhone also twice as fast. Before, (iPhone 4) it drains fast, (not even a full day) so double that, you will end up spending money just to annoy yourself. I hate carrying a battery charger whenever I go or when I'm at work. Feature are awesome, yes, but please do something about the battery life. Common, Apple.

                          >> That would be the N8.

                          the Retina Display already is the best display,

                          >> That would be the SGS2's or the Xperia ray's screen.

                          Last but no least, the looks. Yeah ok they aint got a bigger screen and yeah the design is still the same, but lets be honest - the iPhone 4 and 4S is probably the best looking phone out there. As the reports say, better than its competition's cheap plastic!!!!!

                          >> Matter of taste, but still, I'd choose plastic over glass any day. You got a clue about the number of broken iPhone-covers? A glass phone.. the idea alone makes me laugh..

Also, the look and feel of the iPhone is premium. Yeah the glass may crack if dropped but you still have to look at from a perspective that the phone looks premium, feels premium, has arguably the best OS and software support :)

                                apple dont realise customers who buy there phone are all about image and dont care about the internals so leaving it the same shape is gonna hit them where it hurts

                                        Are they having something new in the iPhone? If so i don't see anything. Others have the same. When you compare SG2 HD LTE... well they just produced a phone able to go closer to it nothing else. The only thing is Apple has lots of fanboys. They will buy whatever they produce. If they produce iToaster they will buy. Well sorry I don't like fashion just to pretend or to be seen as cool. So once again... no iPhone
