To be honest I hear that ios6 won’t be able to get free in app purchases once jail broken. If I do get it it will be my work phone. I can not leave my nexus.Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Yes, all those things are mainly incremental improvements over the existing 4S. Thinner is somehow an astounding new feature?Myth90045 said: ↑

Reducing any devices thickness by 18% and still incresing its battery life is a pretty good accomplishment. Also many small improvments add up to a large improvment. Do you mind telling me what you think would of been monumental improvment? and also point to another device that has made such a great improvment.September 24, 2025 at 6:47 am #21229admin

Notification Center in iOS 5 was a huge usability improvement (although it was just to catch up to Android)
Retina Display in the iPhone 4 was a huge improvement (kicked off the demand for high resolution screens)
The exterior hardware of the 4 is considerably more impressive than most other phones
Siri was a solid jump forward towards making speech controls usable by normal people (before, quite esoteric)Basically if you can handle a iPhone 4S, it’s pretty easy to imagine what the 5 will be like.
We’ll see if the iPhone has solved the 4G battery life sucking problem. My 3G was pretty lousy when it couldn’t find a tower, and since 4G has even less of a footprint, it might have the same problem.
Contact integration like Windows Phone would be a good, but it breaks Apple’s silo’ed app philosophy.
No one is sure if the 5 has NFC or not.I don’t think there are going to be any huge improvements in smartphones, their technology is becoming quite mature like PCs.

KeymasterI recently upgraded from my iPhone 3GS to a Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T. My friends (all Apple fans) asked why I didn’t wait for the iPhone 5. Oh look, the iPhone 5, playing catch-up with all the Android devices. I haven’t been impressed by an iPhone since the 4.
Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated into the Google collective.

KeymasterYea. A coworker asked me what os would I choose now that I have used both. I said I’d def go android just because of the customization features you can do out of the box. Without root or in apple terms jail breaking.

That is the most significant reason to get an iPhone. We can discuss the pros and cons of Android vs iOS, but when you get down to it the significant differences are few. As with so many other things in life the best choice in smart phones depends on your needs and expectations.I agonized over my phone choice for a few weeks until I found a salesperson that was both knowledgeable and objective. After asking me questions and discussing my needs he recommended an Android because I don’t have any other Apple products and I like to customize my phone. Other than that either phone would work well for me.
