iPhone 4 users upgrading to 4s?
I was just wondering How many of you iPhone 4 users are upgrading to the new 4S?
I'm still really contemplating on using my upgrade because the 4S has its ups and downs.

me personally, i will not get the 4S. I got one for my wife, and she loves it, but the change from the 4 to the 4S is not really that huge unless you need a woman in your life, (siri) or need a better camera, or game seriously w/ your phone. all the games i have work fine on the 4 firmware 4.1 (8B117)
I am STILL waiting for the 5!unklbyl

Really? That unimpressive?....I would think from 3GS to 4s would be a pretty big jump.. Better screen, camera, and faster processor...that would be plenty enough for me if I could afford it right now..I've been on 3GS for just over a year now...works great, but if I had the money I think I would do it for just the hardware alone..

Can you explain what you do not like about the 4s? Going from the 3gs to the 4s should have impressed you a little more than that.
Were your expectations higher? What disappointed you the most?
Just curious.unklbyl

I don't see why you're not impressed coming from a 3GS that is crazy

There's only 2 differences between the 4 and 4s
Siri - which is getting ported to the 4
1 more lens and better camera - the lenses are in the back casing so that's possible to move that to the 4 if u buy a back for $10-40 on eBay, the back is the exact same from the 4 to the 4s just more lenses
So really the only difference with mods is Better Camera with 1080p and 64gig availableLast edited by BenderRodriguez; 10-15-2011 at 07:26 AM.

I don't know you guys... But come'on! Really! Just to have 64G is more than enough for me to upgrade! My 32 doesn't have more space! Having better camera, more speed because is fast!!! And better reception! You kidding me! I'm getting it! And when the 5 comes i'm getting it too!!!

I don't love the idea of talking at my phone and I own real cameras so I'm gonna pass. I'll probably be moving on to Android after the 4.

Does anybody out there have the balls or bresticles to tear two phones apart and see what pieces fit where on which?
I have taken the back pannel off, removed the battery, removed the shield for the ringer assembly, but have not trusted myself to take the upper shield off yet. Something about wasted cash...

Well, to answer your question, I went from a i4 to a 4S. Simply put, I have 3 lines on my account an AT&T put it to me this way...
"the primary line brings in more revenue therefore, we chop time off of its 18 month upgrade schedule"
So I got my i4 preorder last year, and it said upgrade the following May by @ Febuary of the following year as well. So I buy some phones and unlock them and flip for a profit... So having the money to burn, I upgraded to the 4S.
With that being said, don't upgrade unless you simply have the $$$ to burn. It's really not worth it. But I have had a blast with Siri so far. I ask it more dumb questions rather than useful ones. LoliPhone 4S iOS 5.0 Non JB

The battery life on the 4s is horrible
It degrades twice as fast as the 4
Somehow the battery life actually seams to last longer when playing a game

Does anyone having battery drain issues with 5.0 have Push email on their devices by any chance?

the only thing that impress me was the camera and the 64g, siri isn't all that, its just a conversational piece. the speed is exactly like my wifes ip4 sometime here pages would load faster on wifi. yes I would say my expectations were higher. faster processor. not sure bout that maybe when your playing games but would you honestly be playing games 24/7, this is a phone with internet access which I was expecting to be faster on 3g but theirs really no difference that i've seen.
