iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 ?

[The Wolf]

Does anyone plan on not rocking any type of case? I can't stand silicone skins or hard cases on my phone.

[Burner]

I didn't have a case on my 4 for a few months. I had the zagg film on it but it yellows really quick.

Just go naked. Just a film protector. Right now my 3GS just has the film protector and nothing else.

[n00bMeiSter]

I'm definitely getting another iSkin (if I get another iPhone) my iSkin is the best case I've ever had for a phone.

Wow, those prices are too low!

I've sold iPhones from two generations prior for $250. I wouldn't sell an iPhone4 16 GB for less then $350-400 and a 32 GB for less then $450. (assuming mint condition)

Remember, these phones cost $750-850 from Apple, one year ago... They don't depreciate that fast. Especially since Apple keeps providing updates to even their first iPhone from 07... Hold out for more money! Best Buy/EB trade in programs are obviously going to turn around and make $$$ on your phones, just like a used car salesmen... Skip out the middle man and sell on Craigslist.

Right, If you have anything higher than a 3G it's not worth it. Who though in their right mind would pay $180+ for a 3G?? No one. It's a great deal for 3G owners.

[angelaTRICIA]

Lol, works for me. I'll be using that money towards a PS3 :)

Btw. I'm on a hunt for a 32GB White iPhone(rogers), lol no luck so far. Lemme know if anybody comes across a store that has any in stock. Please and thanks? :D I know I should probably wait until the hype has died down, but no harm trying now right? lol

[greaves82]

After seeing this thread, I now want an iphone but cant afford it due to going back to school........so jealous

[rktsci]

I just got the call that my iPhone 4S is waiting for me at the Rogers store...this is the first time I've used their online device reservation system and I must say that it works quite well!

[jonjon72]

Got the phone activated this AM and hate being at work. My first iphone is so exciting! LOL.

$45 unlimited data FTW!!!!!

I just got the call that my iPhone 4S is waiting for me at the Rogers store...this is the first time I've used their online device reservation system and I must say that it works quite well!

i beg to differ.. i find it a joke. i reserved first day was like 600 and still got nothing. in progress not even shipped.. i hate Rogers. but then again im fully taking advantage of the system as i reserved under my dad's act ( he could care less, he has flip phone and doesnt need anything else ) for the upgrade package so then i can upgrade again under mine when the 5 comes out.

[n00bMeiSter]

A waste of money.

Picked up an 32gb iPhone 4S yesterday without a reservation. Just walked in like a boss and asked for one. Plus got a 6gb bawss plan for 3 years for $30 per month.

[Takumi616]

LOL, planning to do the same in a few weeks as well :)

Question...so I've been hearing a lot about this iPhone 4s and what it can do. I'm currently a bb owner however ever since the iPhone 4 came out I've really liked it. With this update that people are talking about does that allow you to have the voice recognition program i think called siri? (don't quote me on itl) or what does the update do?

[Jackal]

GL because the bawss 6gb data plan is on sale only until the end of October.

I have been experimenting all day.
Siri can:
- search on google
- send a text message
- send an email (to, subject, message)
- set up a meeting with times and location on any date
- show you the weather (shows the weather app)
- set up a daily, weekly, monthly reminder
- check the number of calories for a food
- call someone
- play a song
- set the alarm
- create a note
- check an address
and a few other things I haven't tried.
I tried 90% of the list above and it works great because of the faster processor.

Thanks, aside from a quicker processor will a regular iPhone 4 still be able to perform all those tasks or not?

[jonjon72]

Gotta love corporate rates. I looked into it further and it $40 for unlimited data and $20 for phone, text, voicemail and call display. They even threw in NA long distance when I activated the phone today! Best part is that I get my phone bills paid for by work!

[Jackal]

I tried with the 3GS one and I asked it to "search for pizza pizza" and a Carpenters song played. Lol. So not a 3GS. Maybe a 4. I haven't tried with that.

Siri is currently not available on anything but the 4S.

True. But the 3GS and 4 has voice recognition but nothing like Siri.

[cwp_sedan]

True. But the 3GS and 4 has voice recognition but nothing like Siri.

Yeah. There really isn't much difference.

I played with Siri today (that sounded dirty, but I assure you, I tried to keep it PG lol) and found it to be entertaining but not extremely useful. I was able to send a txt and email and do some other stuff, but until Apple refines it, Siri is just like a fun App to play with.

I actually find Siri very useful. While driving, I can have her read emails/text messages to me, google search items. If I was not driving, I may not find it as useful. My mother who is a completely useless with tech, has found Siri useful as well, as a simple tool

FYI for those of you looking for a case for your 4S, some of the cases for the 4G will not fit b/c the volume buttons and silence switch have been moved a few millimeters down. The 4S shell/case is actually the verizon iphone.

Here is a list of cases that will work:

look on classifieds to buy instead of from the store? but you have to really want it bad to pay more than retail for one. And if you do.... I've got one! lol

Keep looking. Should have made a reservation, then you don't have to go looking.

Don't pay more than retail, it's definitely not worth it.

[izoom]

im not looking to buy the unit ...im just doing a hardware upgrade LOL :D cuz im cheap like that hahaha so i gotta find a retail store that offers rogers iphone 4s'

[mazdathree3]

I think he's doing a HUP. But it is next to impossible to get one right now for Rogers/Fido especially in 16gb white, as I am on the same boat as you izoom. :(

i know it sucks lol...futureshop actually had a shipment of iphone 4s' a couple of days ago...but i didnt get off work till 3 so when i got there everything was gone except for a 32 gig white which i dont is worth it for the extra 100$ hehe

[mazdathree3]

From what I've heard Futureshop is the best bet as most Rogers stores only have phones for those who have made reservations and if they do they would probably make more money for a new activation. I guess I will just wait it out until things calm down or somehow find a hook up.

Siri is currently not available on anything but the 4S.

oh, thanks ryan. I wonder what 5 will bring to the table...im guessing tweaking siri better? what else if anyone knows...

[n00bMeiSter]

So with Siri, is it an app that has to be running all the time? Or is it a feature that runs all the time that you can turn on and off like wifi and bluetooth?

[zzz3]

i think you can turn it off in settings, but its not an app. you just push down on the home button for the mic to come up.

[The Wolf]

Yup you can disable SIRI. It's not running all the time when it's enabled though either.

[n00bMeiSter]

So right now when I press the home button while on page 1, it goes to the left to that black search page. Does that no longer come up?

Probably just larger capacity, better cameras (definitely upgrade the VGA front cam), Likely a redesign as well.

you have to wait till it says SHIPPED. then expect a call soon, mine went to SHIPPED yesterday and I had a call last night saying it was at the store, im going to go pick it up at the store tonight after work.

[Krazy]

So it's usually 1-2 days after "Shipped" status.

Good to know.. wanted it by Friday after work but I can live with picking it up next week.

aura looks nice, but offers crap protection. Hard cases aren't the best thing for your phone. I would go with something that can help absorb the shock of impacts. Their Solo cases are amazing, I have one on my 3G. they have a new one called Solo vu, and Claro. Solo vu is a nicer looking Solo, and claro is a solo with a thin layer of hardened plastic inside the backing.

Solo: http://www.iskin.com/iphone4/solo/
Solo vu: http://www.iskin.com/iphone4/solovu/
Claro: http://www.iskin.com/iphone4/claro/

The Solo vu is the only one of the three that has a cover to protect the docking port on the phone.

[rktsci]

Can anyone recommend someone that makes a case that also covers the screen? On my old 3GS I had a leather case with a flip cover that protected the device quite well. I'm paranoid about shattering the glass screen ever since it happened when my original 3G fell out of a sleeve style case and onto concrete.

My wife got me an Otter Box plastic case thats wrapped in a silicone sleeve as well.. well its definitely protected but it looks like my phone is wearing full body armor, like that suit that weirdo guy made to be able to withstand a grizzly attack.
