Huh? Nothing.
I have the 4.
I want the 4S for it's camera.
The 5 will have more cool stuff, too.
Sorry probably could've been more clear.
I think he is saying the camera is baller enough to upgrade to, everything else is just gravy. At least I hope so because the camera is pretty damn good.

Ahhh my bad. I thought you had the 4s. Yea, I was blown away by the camera especially since I upgraded from the 3GS.

If your phone is really new and it's running 5.1, I don't think there's an untethered jailbreak for that yet.

The best phone case I have ever seen.

I posted awhile back about my wife's new 4S having trouble with putting sound out through the external speaker. Music, YouTube videos and the like. It was an intermittent problem so she brought it into the Apple Store and they gave her a brand new one (especially timely since she had just scratched the screen by dropping it). Good service by Apple.

I've had my iPhone about a month and a half now and I noticed yesterday that the screen is ever so slightly separating from the rest of the phone on the right side. It's so subtle that I have to assume its been like that since I got the phone and I've just never noticed. I've never dropped the phone or otherwise done anything that could cause this. If I take it to an apple store will they just swap it out for a new phone for me?
Yeah, you should have no problem swapping it. My OG iPad used to make a creaking noise whenever I tapped on the corner of the screen because it was separating a bit and they didn't give me any fuss.
No, not perfectly.
My iPhone 4 bumper fits without a problem
I have noticed a strange problem. I wouldn't call it light leak but it's similar
If you look at the top bar you can see little clumps of light and dark spots. It's only noticeable on light backgrounds, which is most of the time unfortunately. Would Apple swap it for this? Everything else about this 4S is fine. I have a good battery, no cosmetic damage, and the white balance is fine

They replaced my Iphone 4s with no questions asked (After a brief period of trying to fix it) when the speakers stopped working. They just assumed it was a design flaw. Great experience.
Is there a reason my phone constantly shows 4G since I assumed I didn't have this?

Don't know where to ask this so I'll ask this here. When the iPhone 5 has 4g and I upgrade to it, will I still have my unlimited data plan that I was grandfathered into? Or are am I going to be forced to the new data capped plans
Maybe? Unless someone can predict the future...

That's normal on the 4S.
I've actually had my iPhone 4 replaced for that. Guy said that lamping like that wasn't usual.
One of the runs of the iMac had that issue as well.

You would have to extend your contract and lose your unlimited data if you upgrade to the next iPhone.
Not true on Verizon in my experience.

I mean I'm on Sprint but I would think the procedure is the same

Its hard to say, but given that the unlimited plans have become um-limited plans - it doesn't really matter anymore. (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505123_162-57388675/at-t-relents-on-unlimited-data-plan-limits/)
I moved to a 4G android and kept my unlimited. They said I would always have it, whether or not I moved to a 3G device in the future.

I don't think it is. I've got it too, but I'm gonna live with it because this is a replacement to my original 4S (had a horrid yellow screen, but not this issue).
All of the recent 4S's I've ordered at work have it at low brightness. I think it's just a product of the new screen manufacturing process.
do you think this would help with gmail push on windows phone? My wife is using my old HTC trophy and not getting gmail pushed to her. I was considering updating her to an iphone for better gmail support

My apologies if this has been discussed already but has there been a fix yet for the battery issue? My uncle picked up a 4S a couple of weeks ago and he says even through moderate use the battery seems to go from 100% to 50% in about a few hours.
I own an iPhone 4 so I am not aware of this issue, but is it something that can be fixed by just a replacement phone or is it like a widespread issue regardless of carrier?

Never seen this on my 4S, I get 4+ hours of usage per charge. From everything I've read, I've heard that it seems to be certain phones. I'd suggest he swap it out if he can at an Apple store.

But what screen are they putting in?
I've had a few friends buy replacement screens off eBay and they are always inferior yellow screens with worse viewing angles.
Edit: Oh, are you just talking glass? Thought you meant the actual screen.

If you got the AppleCare you can bring it back to Apple and pay them $59 to replace it.
Is it really $59 to replace the front glass?
EDIT: I don't have AppleCare but have the standard warranty.
That is not normal. I would ask apple for a replacementMy iPhone 4 bumper fits without a problem

Google "iphone 4s backlight bleed". It's not uncommon. I have a ton of these phones come across my desk on a daily basis, and I can say with 100% confidence that this is more prevalent than you think.

My iPhone 4S seems to suffer from the death grip! I thought this was fixed? I googled it and can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem. Flat on my desk the phone has 4-5 bars of signal but as soon as I pick it up it withers away until "no service" is displayed. If I put it back down the bars come back (eventually). What is up with that? It's so irritating!

I've seemed to have lost my visual voice mail. Now, everytime I open the phone and click on the voicemail tab, it dials my voicemail.
Also, does Atomic support the built in gestures like tapping at the top of the screen?
Edit: Just saw that I can try to restore from a backup to restore the voicemails; hopefully, it works.

Isn't there an iOS wishlist thread or something? I could have sworn there was, but I can't find it.
I'm about to put my daughter to sleep and take a nap when I got started thinking about the alarm clocks. I need to set one so I am sure to wake up later to go get my wife from work and I opened a recent free alarm I picked up. Is there anyway that they would be able to implement something in the future where the phone can be locked but an app stay running? Like if I wanted the alarm to stay up but not have the phone unlocked? I know that some people know some things about the way iOS and the iPhones work, so is there any reason this could not be done?
I am on my phone, but it's the same thing for my iPad. I have a really cool clock app. I would love it if I could open the app, kick open the stand, and place it on my night stand in place of my clock, only not have it unlocked. Like if my daughter were to grab it, she wouldn't be able to get to the home screen or do anything, the only thing doing anything is the clock changing. Or if you were in your cubicle at work, you could have a clock up and ticking away the time, substituting for a normal clock, but not have to worry about getting up for a drink and some dickhead coworker changing your wallpaper and 'Hasslehoff-ing' you.
Possible in the future?
Of course it would have to be plugged in all night though, since the battery would not last long.

The Clock app has an alarm function built-in you could use? It doesn't need to be open for the alarm to play. I use it every morning.
This is all possible (on the iPhone, not positive on iPad). Just set an alarm or a timer.
If you have Siri, say "set a timer for 30 minutes"
