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).

    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
