Finally, Apple has announced the next generation of the iPhone and guess what? It is not the iPhone 5, it’s an iPhone 4S, exactly same design on the outside but different for the inside. They have managed to use the same processor as the iPad 2, upgraded the camera and added extra few bits and bobs to the phone.
I am very disappointed with Apple, I was expecting an iPhone 5 this year as my contract is up for a renewal in January. Planned to have a nice fresh iPhone, but since it’s a similar design and upgraded performance I wouldn’t bother upgrading it or even buy it. The only thing that attract me is the iOS5, which consists over 200 features and I love that Siri feature. I would love to talk to my iPhone and ask random questions 
So is it worth to buy the iPhone 4S?
Apparently the iPhone 4S will cost you at least £499 for 16GB. Alternative you can purchase the iPhone 4 from £429. If you really want a high performance dual core processor phone, then go with iPhone 4S. I would personally go with iPhone 4.
Shall I wait for the next generation?
It is up to you. I currently have an iPhone 4 and I’m happy with my iPhone. iOS5 surely will go smoothly without any issues, regardless if I had that iPhone 4S. But if you have the iPhone 4, it is worth a wait for the iPhone 5 to be release next year.
Remember iPhone 4S is very similar to the iPhone 4, just the processor, camera, battery and wireless are different.
So you get the point, iPhone 5 may or may not have dual cores. But why dual cores especially for the next generation iPhone. iPhone 4 is fast enough to support games and software, I understand having a greater processor can support high end games. It’s a good idea for Apple to focus more on iPad rather than iPhone. I wouldn’t be too surprise if the “iPhone 6″ have quad cores at that time. Try and image your phone running on 8 processors, that will be insane. Good for iPad 
not for iPhone.
I really want to see a SD card slot or something can catch my attention. If the next generation iPhone is the same as before, I’m not going to bother to get one. It depends if I have the cash at that time, I’m surely will buy one for my wifey.
I have been thinking in my head, what’s the next iPhone going to have? Would it be even more slimmer? Faster processor? Treble the memory? Longer lasting battery life? Slimmer would be ideal and not so wide it would be great, our pockets aren’t that big. Although business users tend to use these smartphones as they keep theirs in their suitcases, bags, or in larger pocket areas etc.
Would they call it as iPhone 5, the 5th generation of the iPhone. Or maybe call it as iPhone 4GS? It’s still very early to discuss about it, as the iPhone 4 has just released so I think we got to wait around January 2011 for the news. How about the design? Do you think it will look better than the iPhone 4? There are many fake photos around the net, so don’t trust them they are not real.
Never thought any features that they’ll be adding on the iPhone, need to think about it first then I will write another post next month or so. I hope they can add flash, but by the looks of Steve Jobs; I highly doubt the Flash will be on the iDevices.
