2. iPhone 5 whatever that may be
Baha, I know you're you, but I heard a lot of people pre-disappointed that there would be only an iPhone 4S. And "whatever that may be" captures it perfectly for me - HOW do you determine when it's an iPhone 5? A name, a different physical design? The 4S has every significant upgrade people could want other than a larger screen. People used to complain that Apple was just skin deep; now it's that Apple isn't making shinier skins fast enough. Just go get a new case.

Tony, I actually wonder how much life the 3GS has left. They have to support it through at least one more OS upgrade, I'd think, as it's still part of the lineup (albeit the "free" part).

Yeah, the motivation for my pending upgrade is similar -- the 3G was basically murdered by iOS 4.1.
Any movement or rumors on prepaid-plan US iPhones?

What a journey.
If I could travel back through time, and have Apple invest/spend a bit of that warchest over the last decades, I would PLEAD with them to improve their synthetic voices/speech.
I am aghast at how robotic the voices STILL sound.
If it were physically possible for me to shake my head CLEAN OFF MY BODY, I would!
Apple's voices is their software division's PUCK MOUSE!

I think they should have called Siri Hal9000 - cue joke about "I'm sorry Dave, I cannot open the iPod bay doors"

I guess you're right, Johnny K. In fact they probably should name the stupid thing iPhone 5 and be done with it. The nomenclature is half the problem.
I like the form factor. It's gorgeous. I hate that it breaks so easily. My front has missing pieces of glass. My back is a spiderweb.
Sadly, it's December before I get an upgrade. I'd buy the "No commitment" iPhone but that doesn't mean its unlocked. Fuckers.

Heh, everyone is 'disappointed' yet I see people all over the place commit themselves into buying one anyway, I'd say Apple is on the right track here. IMHO this update was to be expected; not enough to win over iPhone 4 users (they bought into expensive 2 year contracts anyway), but enough to get iPhone 3G(s) users to finally upgrade.

The camera and A5 stomp my 3GS into the ground, and my father and MIL never can figure out their dumb phones, so it's an easy call for me.

What happens if you tell your iPhone 4S, "Siri rabbit"?

"SkyNet is currently trending," said user @jasonpinter. "This is EXACTLY what Siri wants. Siri = Schwarzenegger Irradicating Redblooded Individuals."
I like "irradicating" -- must be a portmanteau of "irradiating" and "eradicating." An accidental stroke of malapropistic genius.

Have you ever had Japanese ass? If you have, I think that you might understand how happy the term Siri may be … albeit dangerous. ;)

It's not the facts, it's how you interpret them?

Actually starting to get excited about 4s. I don't have to buy all new accessories (car and bike mounts, etc)! Maybe I'll avoid the 5??
