为什么叫iPhone4S?
从功能看,就是iPhone5的东东嘛?
据说是为了商业利益,不想冲击IPHONE4的销售,所以推迟IPHONE 5出台
IPHONE4S, BUY OR NOT?
iPhone 4 owners: No. Generally speaking, unless you're switching carriers like me, you should not upgrade. You have a sexy-looking phone with a beautiful screen, and so will iPhone 4S owners. When you upgrade to iOS 5 (available Oct. 12), you will experience most of the latest iPhone software advantages. The only thing you're missing, software-wise, is the 4S-only Siri personal voice-activated assistant. The speed advantage that will be apparent on AT&T's network (but not Verizon's or Sprint's) is decent, but it's not a real 4G leap. The improved antenna design, likewise, will probably not mean fewer dropped calls on AT&T, since it's generally understood that that's a network issue. And for Verizon iPhone 4 owners, sheesh, you just bought the thing. Hold your horses!
iPhone 3GS and 3G owners: Yes. Even though the 3GS is listed as compatible with the iOS 5 upgrade, it's not advisable, since it demands a lot of an older machine. 3G owners can't even get the upgrade, and why have an iPhone if you can't get the amazing software functionality it brings? And if you waited out the entire iPhone 4 period, any excuse that you're holding out for iPhone 5 just doesn't hold water. You're definitely at a point now where you are eligible for upgrading pricing, and you can even switch to another carrier without a penalty. So what's stopping you?
Family-plan customers: Yes. The fun thing about a family plan is that there are generally at least two people with different phone interests: Without getting into gender stereotypes, let's just say Person A wants the latest and greatest, while Person B just wants something that works and looks nice. This is a very cool situation, because it means that Person A can buy a shiny new phone every year, and hand over last year's model — as long as it's in acceptable condition! — to Person B. Win-win, unless the beloved Person B is as big a hardware freak as you, I mean, Person A.
Sprint customers: Yes. You have been waiting for ages for this thing to happen, and now Apple has brought the latest and greatest model to your carrier. Perhaps waiting this long means you can easily wait another 9 to 12 months for the iPhone 5. But there's no guarantee that Apple will even build a 4G model for Sprint, since it uses a different 4G technology than the other carriers. If you haven't already bought a Samsung 4G Epic Touch or HTC Evo 3D, I say it's iPhone time.
Android super-phone owners: No. You guys are looking for raw horsepower and a fast network connection, not to mention some customizability and unfettered use of apps, no matter the dangers. You either know what you are doing or are gleefully reckless, and you're loving the Android. There's nothing wrong with that, and you should keep on keepin' on.
Current cheap-o phone owners: Maybe. Whether you have a nearly free Android phone, a BlackBerry or a plain old dumbphone, you are clearly waiting for something. If you are a Sprint customer waiting for the iPhone to come to your carrier, now's your chance. If you're a T-Mobile customer, it might be time to re-evaluate your relationship with the carrier (because there probably won't ever be a T-Mobile iPhone, at least not until the proposed merger with AT&T happens or is permanently kiboshed). If you've been holding out for some messianic phone to emerge from the heavens thronged by a host of angels, well, you may have to wait longer. Possibly forever. |
