The 4S is an all around more capable iPhone than the 4. While asthetically it appears the same... it has a higher resolution rear facing camera, faster processor, Siri, etc.

^^^Yeah I agree. The 4s is a very good phone, and can be moded tweaked to the max!!

Get iPhone 4S if you really have to have an iphone. Apple don't care about the iPhone 4 users anymore and are forgetting about the device. Although you could prob get better phones from other manufacturers.

Very interesting response from a seasoned iPF member.... However, I must disagree with your statement that Apple "doesn't care about the iPhone 4 users...." If Apple was "forgetting about the device...." they would not have made iOS 6 available for it. Nor would they have made it available for the 3GS users. So, saying that Apple is forgetting about previous iPhone model users is, well, obsurd.

Maybe I might be missing something then. But what new features does ios6 bring to the iPhone 4 that are worth mentioning

While they may seem miniscule to some... Do Not Disturb, Message in Reply to an Ignored Call, full Facebook & Twitter integration, settings that allow user to not have to enter their iTunes passord whent they're udpating or downloading a free app, etc. There are updates... just not those that are significat as Turn by Turn directions or added Siri functionality.

I rest my case.

So, are you saying that Apple should add Siri and Turn by Turn navigation support to the iPhone 4.... even though it will most likely overwork it's underclocked A4 processor?

It wouldn't overwork the processor. The iPhone 4 is more than capable of running Siri and turn by turn navigation. It is also capable of the 3d maps.

Nokia has had turn by turn navigation for years even with phones as powerful as the first iPhone.

Also Siri was originally designed for the iPhone 4.

Then I guess it's time for us all to move on to Nokia then.

I ain't saying move to Nokia as windows phone isn't any good. But Nokia prove that the iPhone is capable of it.

Seriously... I'm not trying to be the devils advocate here... but how does a Nokia, Samsung or HTC phone doing something PROVE that an iPhone can do it?!?
