I'm not impressed with it (needs NFC, 32gb, 64gb, 128gb, larger battery).

There was nothing Apple with it. It's a basic hardware refresh playing catch-up to Android hardware.

Am I going to get one? Yes, it's better than what I have and my contract is up.

Good points,
for me a bigger screen, LTE, and a faster processor is more than enough more me to upgrade imo

If I recall, folks weren't impressed with iPhone 4 S, either

For anybody with a iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, and the original. The time to upgrade is now. imo

I'm just not seeing anything oh so compelling that would have me dropping $400 to upgrade from my iPhone 4. My iPhone 4 does everything I need it to do. Don't need Siri, have Google maps, car has turn-by-turn, already has retina display...

It's evolutionary, not revolutionary and I need revolutionary if they're going to get $400 out of me.

$400? I get by on the 16GB model just fine. $199.

My upgrade is in mid February and I will not be making any moves before then. At that point I'll think about it some more and see where the progress is on a 5S. The 5 looks fine and it addresses my two main gripes (LTE, bigger screen) but at the same time my 4 is still doing the job.

Not me.

reply to Jackarino
I have the iPhone 4 and like a few others have said , I'm fine with it and it does everything I need/want it to do. I think I'll wait and see what next year's model puts out.

reply to Jackarino
Apple has been playing catch up since the iPhone was introduced...

How long did it take to get MMS? Tethering?

LTE Phones have been around since before the 4S, and they're finally going to include it.

I simply don't understand why people keep putting up with this nonsense from apple.

Because the alternatives simply aren't very good IMO. I have a few Android devices (Sammy Galaxy S Wifi 5, Xoom, and a TF700T Infinity with the keyboard) and they're pretty slick (especially the TF700T) but the OS versions just don't have the operational fit and finish of iOS...again IMO. Particularly newer OSes (4 and later) are really buggy. My Xoom crashes frequently if I run 4+ on it (the stock browser is unusable). My TF700T is better but still I have apps FC from time to time. iOS apps crash but it's like once or twice a week where I have Android apps doing it a few times a day.

I know people that SWEAR by Android but I still find it a bit convoluted...like it was developed by departments that didn't talk to each other. It's getting better but iOS is still ahead as far as I'm concerned.

And as far as the whole custom ROM thing, I was interested in that to get around the whole Samsung abandonment thing but for my WiFi 5.0 for example, if you want a custom ROM you lose (at least for the OS versions I wanted) things like the camera and hardware acceleration. So I could get ICS but the device goes from slow to slower and loses the camera. As a result tinkering doesn't excite me much.

It's just like Windows...sure it supports more apps, can be tweaked more, but for workflow it just isn't as good.
