can we make a differentiation between software and hardware side please?
just because a phone is running android, doesn't equate to 'shit'
Android is free to run on any mobile device. Its essentially free. Android OS actually saved companies like Motorola and HTC from going downhill like what you're currently witnessing with Nokia.

I've had a bad impression of you since you entered a thread recently (one I sadly can't remember the title of) and went absolutely mental. You seem to do it a lot. It all seems very personal with you.
MacRumours have posted a story pertaining to an October 1 release date of the phone, though they clarified that it could possibly just be a placeholder date. Either way, hurry the fuck up Apple!

I'll only believe the good rumors from now on. :|
Yep, for example, Nexus S is free with 2-year contract at Best Buy right now, for AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint:Vyer said:

No wonder Pristine_Condition was nearly banned from the Android thread. Glad I can take refuge from him over there, at least.
It's year old hardware. Comparing the two is like comparing it to something like the 3GS. Anyway, iPhone 4 models are on sale at Radio Shack, too. I definitely think the cheap Android phones make a big difference in marketshare. Not a huge deal, though, since the cream of the crop steers the boat.Husker86 said:

Both are old by today's standards. Spec wise they are nearly identical.

Yeah. Wow, I'm such a rabble-rouser. I've been on GAF for like 5 1/2 years and been banned once. :rolleyes
By whom though? Does anybody that actually owns an iPhone 4 consider it old or outdated?x-Lundz-x said:
I wouldn't swap mine for anything else on the market today even if you paid me. Hell, unless the iPhone 5 is physically identical I won't be swapping it for that either.
Question. Are widgets in ios able to be appended to a homescreen, or is it only installable view through the notification dropdown? Apple looks to have solved most of the issues I had with the OS and if the rumors are true, the phone itself.
Only thing left for me to heavily consider jumping ship is:
Stock turn by turn navigation with latitude support (we actually use it at our job)
Voice control for messaging, calling (numbers not in your contacts), and navigation
Widgets as a default view

I dig that design. Non-tapered form factor, please.
I updated to the new bullshit firmware recently and my battery life has been AWFUL since. I swear they fucked something up. I can't go through a full 9 hour day now without being at or near 10%.
I am at 30% after listening to 1 album and fairly minimal app usage and it was at 100% less than 6 hours ago.

Do the White iphone 4's still have reception problems? Or did they fox those?

Perhaps they'll "clip" onto the top/bottom.Koodo said:

That looks pretty legit. Looks like there will be a slight taper on the edges now. What's surprising is that the screen doesn't look any bigger, at least juding by the earpiece and home button area which look to be the same as on current iphones.numble said:

Those iPhone 5 concept pics look just like the iPhone 4. 0.o What am I missing?
I'll be keeping my iPhone 4 well into 2012. Until the iPhone runs on 4G LTE, but has the battery longevity that the iP4 currently as, or better.

I doubt we'll be seeing 4G in the next iteration of the iPhone. On top of that, the thought of 4G, a faster processor and longer battery life even with more battery intensive features seems a bit hopeful.
4G won't be until 2012 yea.
What I'm waiting for is NFC. All the operators and banks have already agreed on the technology here in Denmark and only phones with a NFC chip will be sold here, starting fall 2011 - so I'm hoping for NFC in iPhone 6.
And that iPhone 5 picture is fake, I think they stated that on the MacRumors forums, which is the original source.

Man, I'd love NFC on my phone. I already don't cary any cash, if I could skip out on cards and just take my phone, keys and i.d. out with me every day I'd be ecstatic.

If the 5 runs on 4G then great. But, I don't see it happening. Maybe the 5+.
LyleLanley said:
The current model should have had 4G but it doesn't, their going to make the Apple fans wait two years for a 4G model? Also other phones have 4G standard.
Other smart-phones have dual-core processors in them already which is faster than the current Iphone model. An increase processor speed is obvious.
Each iteration of Iphone add more battery life.
You think it's going to have LTE? How many different chipsets are they going to have for the phone? LTE is supposed to be widely isolated based on carrier (BS if you ask me), plus Verizon is the only one with a decent footprint. Or are you just thinking HSPA+, in which case they would have to market the Verizon model differently as it would not have "4G".Xamdou said:
I'd love for it to be LTE compatible, that would put it on my list of phone choices; I just don't see it happening.
Also, how long did it take for them to add 3G? (they were very LTTP)

But, the iPhone had a real problem with battery life until 4 came out, didn't it? More processing power and faster carrier wave eats up a battery big time. But, hey, if the iPhone 5 has duel core (I believe it's all but confirmed they're going to be using the A5 chip) and have the the battery life of the iPhone 4, and run on 4G, then that'll be awesome. It could happen.

I can't see Apple adding 4G until At&t gets its LTE act together, I think Apple would rather make people wait another year then release a product without enough 4g coverage.
As for the processor, of course that's going to happen and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the only thing that gets changed internally.
When it comes to battery life, I can't remember but did all the previous phones really increase the battery life?
Exactly. I don't carry any cash anywhere at all either, just having my creditcards, with no money on em' actually. But just being able to transfer from my account to my card through my bank (can already do that) and then use the very same phone to pay with, would be fantastic. I have been thinking of installing a NFC lock to my main door at the apartment, so I can use my iPhone as the key through NFC, but it would be a much better solution having it build into the phone.LyleLanley said:

Better cam, faster processor, better battery life. That's "all" I want from the next iPhone if I would compare it to my 3GS.

I would think it's going to have HSPA+, and then add LTE next year. With such a late launch, however, (if it's October, not September), LTE might be barely possible.Husker86 said:
