Was seriously considering moving to the latest and greatest iPhone 5 when my Android contract ended but the 4S doesn't seem like its worth it over my current fully functioning phone.

If I had no phone then I would probably go for the 4S but Ive still got another 4 months of contract so will see whats available then.

Yes, I'll be buying it. I'm upgrading from an existing iPhone 4. I drive enough that I can justify putting $199 down on Siri alone, not to mention the A5 processor and new camera (which will keep me from having to lug around a point-and-shoot for the trip I'm taking in November).

Some interesting results here...

> Slightly more people with an iPhone sticking with rather than upgrading to 4S.

> Same number of people switching from iPhone than switching to iPhone.

So I guess from this Apple can expect their market share to stay about the same, probably not what they were hoping for at all!

I will be getting the iphone 4s because my contract is up for upgrade on att. I have been with them so long that i can upgrade sooner then a lot of people (i am also considered an enterprise customer). The increase in video recording resolution alone is why i need the iphone 4s

Sticking with my iPhone 4

-I can live with the current speed (though more would be nice)

-No larger screen on the 4S (biggest problem IMO)

-Contract not up until Feb

-Camera bump is nice, but it's still a phone camera, the extra advancements don't really matter, lack of optical zoom is what really holds camera phones back, not so much the image quality. (Note, I'm not comparing it to DSLR cameras, just P&S cameras)

-Siri might be cool but I can live without it (won't be surprised if it's jailbroken into the iPhone 4)

I don't really care about 4G that much since it's an immature technology (hell, LTE isn't even really what 4G was intended to be).

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
