Oh well that's ?500 saved, guess I'll keep my 4S seeing as how 3GS updates to IOS6 and I didn't see anything that I must update my 4S for it was really disappointing I thought you are probably right Boris not much left to do other than smaller and lighter really

Cept they made it bigger. Losemungus. Should have gone edge to edge and lost the home button. Big phones do not want. Very lackluster ip5 needs a big rethink methinks. However I'm all tied into iTunes and stuff so I'll probably get next years 5S doh!

We brits always gets shafted up the rear for gadgets and phones... Pisses me off this 20% VAT

It's worse in europe. or Russia.

it's only taller, not wider though.

I thought technology was getting exponentially better and cheaper to produce so that the cost would drop and we'd all be getting stuff for next to nothing.

Looks fancy but I'll stick with my old steam-powered 3GS for a while yet.

But still...Wrongness.

That extra 200 pixels has totally offset the reduction in cost. As has the inclusion of 2 extra microphones.

I was kinda hoping for a completely new phone design, but i guess that's for the 6th iteration???

I wonder how well the phone will fit in my trouser pocket now, with its taller design? Might poke out and say hello

It's now easier to pickpocket

They only invest 2% of revenue into R&D and it shows.

Figured I'd be sticking with iOS for a while on account of how many apps I've bought(meaning I'm tied to them for a while yet) and decided to see how much I've spent on apps so far since my first iPhone exactly two years ago(3G, 8th Sep 2009):

?102.63

(that's not counting the tenner or so I've spent on Cydia apps and about ?30 on music)

Definately, 70 million doesn't go that far. I burn through that in a week on energy drinks

Apple are playing it too safe, a bad move when they've lost so much to Google. The new windows Nokia looks like it blows away the iPhone too.

A meh from me.
