Will you buy iPhone 5 or wait for next year's upgraded iPhone?

whirlpool

Are you going to buy the iPhone 5? Or are you going to wait and buy the upgraded iPhone model next year?

Tallon

I don't see anything pushing me to change my 4s.. It's perfect

I5 does not interest me at all

naasrd

If a get an unwanted upgrade sold on cheap enough.

clappyhappy

Not buying either, very happy with my xperia.

Have a year left on my 4s contract and the 5 has offered me nothing worth breaking that for.

IamMetaldave

Will certainly upgrade to the 5.

I'm curious why you ask. What are your own plans/thoughts?

My contract isn't up until December 2013, at which point I plan to upgrade to whatever the newest version of the iPhone is at that stage.

Why so brand loyal.? Who's to say that in the next 15 months one of the other manufacturers won't release a phone with far higher spec for a better price? Or that the apple phone won't be plagued with reliability of issues?

Think i'll wait myself, dont see the point on dropping 600-900 quid to upgrade from the 4s, When more than likely there will be an updated version like the 5s in the near future.

FFS, can we not have one thread without this bs?

I don't like the flow of android or the look of any of the handsets

I hate apple, but cannot fault the design and flow of the os

That's why I stick with it

My feelings in a nutshell, I was a staunchly loyal Nokia customer from 1994 til just a couple of months ago and eventually gave up in desperation at Nokia's "go it alone" attitude. I've switched to a 4s and now I know what all the fuss is about. The iPhone just does what its meant to do, brilliantly.
I won't be switching to a 5 though (because I couldn't afford to!)

Im getting the 5. Have the 4 since launch day in the UK.
If i had a 4S i wouldnt upgrade tbh.

I had the S3 for a week as i was going to jump ship, but it wasnt for me.
In two years then i'll upgrade again, ive done that since the 3GS.

Then the 5S will come along, and you may wait to see what the 6 is like

Eh, you're kind of making a few assumptions there based on very little information. Bit of a knee-jerk reaction there from ye, which makes me think you just take issue with Apple fans in general, and therefore are biased and not really thinking rationally.

All I said was that I'm stuck in a contract for another year. Yes I currently plan on buying the iPhone next year, but I never said that I'd ever bought another Apple product before in my life - nor did I say that this plan of mine was completely definite. Take a chill pill!

Why the poll if the results are hidden OP?

Hurricane Carter

Not going to bother with the 5.

My next handset might be a HTC One X if I decide to move from the 4s in the near future.

Deep Thought

why even talk about iPhone 6, when we haven't even gotten the 5 in our hands yet.

McGrath5

I will be getting myself the iPhone 5, even though I already have the 4S.

nicklauski

iOS6 is released tomorrow for everyone isn't it?
I only recently got the 4s and I love it, so won't be changing anytime soon.
I think the 4s is a great sized phone, moved from the DesireHD and now it seems gigantic compared to the iPhone.

Running iOS6 now...not much different to iOS5.

Apple's Maps app is rubbish!

Sorry for derailing the thread.
But is there any other differences? Camer, Facebook integration etc?

Facebook and Twitter integration - you can tweet/post status updates from the the notification area.

When you go to share a picture from the photos app it (finally!) gives you the option to mail, message, tweet, upload to FB.

'Do not disturb' is handy.

Don't get me wrong, I still like it, because I like iOS, just not hugely different. Which isn't really a bad thing either - I, personally was just expecting something a bit different for a change.

I generally don't care about ringtones, but they're STILL the same!

I installed it at the weekend. Other than some colour tweaks I haven't noted much anything different. (Oh, you can upload pictures/videos to a webpage from the camera roll...)

Played with Siri with my four-year old. That was a laugh, but will likely never use it.

Will buy the iPhone 5 as am over two years happily on bill pay with my iP4 so might as well take advantage of my upgrade benefits.

missingtime

I'm tired of my sony x10 so will probably get this although it is quite expensive.

I like vanilla android and use it all the time on the touchpad but too few devices ship it these days. I really dont like touchwiz or sense so wont be getting a samsung or htc. I know I could go tinkering with the handset but i just dont have the patience to do that anymore.

I could wait for a nokia with windows phone 8 but I've been waiting too long for a new handset and the iphone will do everthing i need it to do and probably a bit more.

Android or Msoft ? Crap OSs. They will never release a decent quality smart phone. My one year contract on the 4S is up in a month or so and it's on to the 5 ! the best phone on the market by far.

On a two-year deal so if I do get an new iPhone, it'll be the 5S. Have a 64gb 4S though and don't see any other phone out there right now that I'd consider a worthy upgrade.
