I can't understand the sheer stupidity of ppl who dont understand anything within the mobility telecom industry
This 4S is a device thats catching up to the premium smartphone market.
I'm not an iPhone user, neither am I a big fan of the iPhone, but innovation aside, the 4 was out of date within the high end smartphone catalog.
what if apple, threw on a 4in screen with the same specs and called it a 4S, i bet u the disappointment from the community would still go ughh, wheres my 5.
regardless, All fanboys, haters and the regular phone users aside would still buy into the phone regardless of the name.
In the end, the iPhone4S is still a great phone, simple end user experience for EVERYBODY.

It could be the first shipment of iPhone4S in hk, cuz I'm heading to Sin Tat directly once she gets off her plane on the evening of 15th.
The sin tat guy that I've deal with since iPhone2G guarantees that I'll get 250k profit for this shipment  | Quote:

Sin Tat taking max at $20 000 HKD = $2666 CAD

You claim: You're expecting at least $250k of profit.
So unless you're telling me the shop's willing to only earn a $7000 profit from this shipment...
or equivalent of $46 cad per iPhone...gtfo Resident Bullshitter

okay I did some digging around for HK pricing
Never burn your bridges when u leave an industry
the one "group" within sintat will take 64gb white 4s at roughly 15-7k HKD
expected to sell at 20k HKD
BUT, these guys already have connections to bring back stock, THE ONLY way they will take your unit..is if you BEAT their shipment that comes back from Canada or where ever...
even then.. good luck trying to sell more than 2-3 units
the thing is, no one knows how the initial batch will sell.

The iPhone 4S is a pretty decent upgrade from the 4. Don't know why everyone is hating on it. It's not only about the looks, the upgrades are worth it for sure.

Evidently, manufacturers don't expect users to use their devices with just ONE hand otherwise features such as pinch to zoom and Samsungs touch to pan/tilt features wouldn't exist. |
well certainly you can get used to anything
but at the end of the day i wouldnt want to carry a phone that big around

The benchmarks are in and it's looking good for the 4S. Not surprising, since anyone who follows mobile chipsets knows the A5 is damn good, especially in the graphics department (better than Mali, Adreno and Tegra 2). Even underclocked to 800MHz in the 4S still has significantly better graphics than processors running at 1.0 to 1.2GHz.
Better yet are the browser benchmarks. iOS 5 now makes the 3GS faster than the 4 was under iOS 4 (37,000 for the 3GS vs 30,000 for the 4). The 4 now climbs to around 51,000 which is a huge increase over iOS 4. Seems like there's more going on in iOS 5 than feature upgrades - there are speed optimizations for the browser as well.

Yup the A5 is a fantastic processor. Add to that that the A4 is a piece of shit, and it looks even better  | |

The iPhone 4S is on top of a phone that has been released for almost a year now...The next big thing from that competitor (Nexus Prime) will surely be on top of the Galaxy S II, iPhone 4S and probably the iPad 2 as well for this category.
After that, other devices may or may not catch up but Apple will not be able to improve it's hardware until NEXT year which of course by that time, other companies will have continued to go forwards too.

^ There's always something faster. However this now presents a catch-22 for iPhone 4 owners. iOS 5 not only brings features, but unlike iOS 4 (which slowed your phone) it appears to be optimized and extracts more from the iPhone 4. This gives iPhone 4 owners some good reasons to keep their phones. However, the 4S is not a minimal upgrade in terms of performance. This also provides a reason to upgrade. There are valid reasons to keep your 4 or get a 4S. Posted via RS Mobile | |
