I'd prefer to just not have a phone at all. I'm a weird 20y.o. lol.Agreed. I was fed up with apple about 2 months ago and swore I wouldn't take the bait but I'm a sucker and WILL be ordering it today. It's all about discipline, I'm not one of those people who are attached to their phones. I enjoy being phone free at times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMR Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I will let other people try it out first before I will even consider getting it. The iPhone 4 was rubish, it broke pretty much just by touching it. So I will let other people pay the ridiculous high price for them when they just come out, let them test it and then once the price has dropped and if its any good I will consider getting one.But for now iPhone 3GS FTW!

Rice_slayer Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'll stick with my 4s. Apple is terrible at releasing "newer, smaller, lighter" as their *new* product, charging an arm and a leg, then profiting. Oh well, I like my iPhone, using it until it quits like my crackberry .

Prokiller Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 if mine breaks i might but probably switch over to android if i get another personal phone. right now i'm rocking a 4 and my work cell is a 4S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I like my iPhone, using it until it quits like my crackberry .This man has caught on!I kinda just hate Apple people in general....Apple makes good products but they market them to retards and charge way too much for just about everything they sell.They release a new phone with extremely minimal upgrades and all the stupid fanboys/ girls flock to waste their parents money and all think its the best phone ever created....like relax, Droid phones had this hardware years ago.This video is a perfect example of what I mean. Apple consumers are brainwashed to the max.http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82784664/However I will say I think Apple made a good move making the phone and screen a little bit larger although the 8mp camera isnt anything new or special to the market.I dont see how people can justify buying a new iphone every year though.....guess thats why most americans are in debt. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullitt Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm not due for an upgrade so I am going to jailbreak my 4 get siri and then wait for iOS6 to be jailbroken and I will be good till my upgrade. I want but I am not ready to convert all my plugs to the new shit, I'll wait till it's been out awhile. I never by shit new, shit always has issues in the beginning and no one has shit for it.

justinschmidt1 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Nothing wrong with upgrading in those cases lol.Its just comical to me how Apple claims the be "revolutionary" and shit but come out with a phone that offers NO advantage over its competitors.Hell, Samsung even develops the processor Apple is using in the new phone....I guess I will just never understand the infatuation with Apple.

Maybe that was their punishment lolWell yea, Apple has been doing that crap for years...they try to patent stupid ass things and sue other companies....guess they are scared since Samsung produces superior technology and phones.I think they sued them because you could call a person directly from a text instead of having to exist the texting menu to call them....Apple is retarded.The punishment was 1B dollars but who knows if that will stand but that has absolutely nothing to do with Apple using Samsung components...Apple has been using Samsungs parts in the phones forever.They are actually trying to use less Samsung components after this whole legal battle though...

Steve-Oh Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 All your points are valid. I wouldn't stereotype every iPhone user as being a "fanboy" though. I just got back from the store and it seemed pretty mellow. I ended up going with the 64gig black phone, I completely filled my 4 so this was a logical move for me.
