1080p video too, seems more than a phone to me as my house phone can't do any of that.
Oh and yes I'm turning into Apple fan even have a Mac Book Pro and iPad 2 on pause for order. Damn my gadget addiction.
"Find my friends" = Google Latitude?
Have you all spaffed yet ?
Siri looks really impressive- provided it works, of course.

They're all too busy wiping up to post.
"Siri, clean up the spaff."
Where are you supposed to use this Siri thing? I can imagine it'd work well in a quiet car, on your own, but not many other places. Well i hope not anyway, i can imagine getting the train to London being a nightmare otherwise...
"Find fixie shop in Hoxton."
Prices could be the best thing about it. 4S 16gb is $199, 4 is $99
edit - still going to get a Blackberry.

Nearly there....
The new camera optics float my boat: f2.4, 5 elements, fast, 8 megapixel, with 1080 video and image stabilisation. very nice!
At least I can get a iPhone 4 and pretend it's a 4s, seeing as there will not be a 5 released today.

i presume thats on contract
Yep 2 year contract!
Speaking as someone who's mindly interested but doesn't really care, would anyone care to use their other hand to give us a summary of what's been announced?
Cheers.
"Siri, tell Cougar to stop being a lazy bastard and use google."
It's faster and you can talk to it.
changes are all internal - I'm disappointed
but I'll still get one
What? No iPhone 5?
I'm disappointed too, even though it pretty much is an iPhone 5 in all but name - I bet people will hold off purchasing it because they'll think the 5 is just around the corner!
Finally 64gb!
they'll think the 5 is just around the corner!
it's likely to be at least a year though isn't it?
"Siri, tell Cougar to stop being a lazy bastard and use google."
Comedy stylings aside, I was kinda looking for opinion from, well, people with opinions.

Cool. I've already got that.

Who knows - traditionally, Apple have released all their "proper" iPhones upgrades in August!
Looks like the spaff has bunged up apple's servers - the website is down.
I was waiting for one but a couple of days ago I bailed and bought a galaxy s2. I have to say I'm glad I did, id have been well pissed off has I only been able to get a 4s. No wonder shares dipped following the announcement.
if i had a job id get one. they seem to finally be stepping up to the mark.
So will AirPlay (to stream whatever's on the screen to your television via AppleTV) be in iOS5 or just on the new iPhone? Just wondering whether it will be available on the iPod Touch 4 when (presumably) iOS 5 gets downloaded on 12th October. If so, I might have to put AppleTV on the wish list along with an iPad 2...
iPhone4s but no iPhone5?!!!
That's like arranging a date with a classy, young & sexy blond ...but instead your wife shows up wearing new shoes!!
Theres only been one external change in 4 years, so its not that much of a surprise.
To paraphrase Bill:
A rose by any other name, would probably sell a lot more frickin' units.
If they'd have called it the 5, i'm guessing no one would be whinging 🙂
If they'd crossed out "4S" and put "5", would it have made a difference?
It's purely a psychological thing, which is a shame - however marketing is purely a psychological thing... which is a shame.

It would have damaged their christmas sales when the 5 really does come out.
It's fair to say that nearly everyone was hoping for a larger screen, I can't believe that wasn't addressed.

Not if they called that one a 6.
1 - iPhone
2 - iPhone 3G
3 - iPhone 3GS
4 - iPhone 4
5 - iPhone 4GS
If they had a proper naming system, it'd be the iPhone 5. Or 3.1?
Why a bigger screen ? Its the perfect size for a phone - remember it is a phone - designed to go in a pocket ........It wasnt designed to watch movies or surf the net .....it just does those things aswell
I too wanted an iphone with a bigger screen - apple already fixed me up... They made the ipad .....
Must say im neither up not down about the announcements . I was never rushing out to buy a new phone regardless of what they announced......
If their apple tv how ever was able to stream from a nas drive i may have rushed out to buy one of them !
I want iOS 5 that's all i care about any news on that?

Exactly. The folk calling for a bigger screen don't seem to realise that it already has the biggest screen out there in terms of pixels. If you want it physically bigger, just hold it closer to your face! 🙂
Seriously if they made the screen physically bigger then either they would lose their Retina claim, or they would have to change the number of pixels which would break all the existing software.

Unfortunately some of us cannot afford an iPad as well, and so have to make do with one device. Great for those of you who can but there are far more who can't...
I've been following this pretty closely for the last couple of months, on all the tech press, blogs and podcasts, and people are really crying out for a bigger screen. I'm not bothered that there isn't one now as I've now jumped ship, but the majority of people waiting for this phone were hoping for something more than was unveiled. Those who can't just go and buy an iPad as a complementary device that is...
If i could only have 1 it would be an ipad !

If you were even considering upgrading from whatever phone you have now you could probably afford a tablet computer instead. You do realise that there are other tablets than iPad (or is that the sort of thing a fanboi wouldn't even contemplate)?

Thing is aracer, once you've drunk the Apple-flavoured KoolAid, you might as well keep drinking.
e.g. there are 2 iphones in my household, so when we get a tablet we'll get an iPad. Less hassle to pay once for apps, music, movies etc and share them between 3 devices.
apps maybe but music and videos?
