Seems like there is usually a lot more buzz and hype when a new iphone comes out
Are the incremental changes no longer wowing anyone? Seems like this one should be a big deal if it's actually going to have 4G finally.

No I'm really not trolling
It seems like the changes this time are much more drastic than some of the other releases that people drooled over
A bigger screen and 4G finally coming is a big deal for iphone IMO

I never give a shite when new Apple products come out and rarely hear much about it but oddly enough I've heard quite a bit of buzz about the iphone 5.

Holy shite. I though most all phones nowadays had 4g.
Oh I misread. You're saying the current phones have 4g.

Oh
I didn't realize this
Or maybe I did at one point and just forgot about it
At any rate the bigger screen seems like something that will help bridge the gap with some of the android devices
Clearly people want bigger screens

Many market analysts think demand is high. You've got a built in base every two years contracts are upgrading after skipping.
Plus the overseas market keeps growing like crazy.
So like tons of people on the 4 skipped the 4s and waited for the 5. I' m not even sure if I'm gonna upgrade -all depends. We'll know about the demand soon enough.

According to paige, I don't think they got it until the 4S came out which is sad enough as it is.

The reason I never got an iPhone when Verizon got them was because of the small screens.
That being said, I will stick with android now. My HTC phone has been solid.

Last weekend I went to an area that had only 3g service and I felt like I was using a dialup after getting used to 4g.
Or maybe it was just shitty service to begin with.

I think my 4 is awesome but I'm due an upgrade so I will in order to have the latest and greatest.
I want Siri, which will probably just be a novelty whose new will wear off quickly. But everything else is lagniappe

The technology hadn't been released in most areas that long when the 4s came out a year ago
ETA or in a lot of areas, like where I lived

I was yesterday.
But this thread was meant to be more serious.
I'm wondering if maybe there is some big market shift about to happen or something.

Word. I switched from a samsung to an HTC. Really happy with the new HTC EVO
Wouldn't trade it for any other phone on the market right now
