Remster 24 #42 September 24, 2012 I'm no Apple Fanboy. By any stretch. Except for a 2nd Gen iPod, I never spent any of my money on one of their products for myself. This being said, I got a iPhone 4s 2 months ago (couldnt wait to get a phone, and it was my only option for international coverage on VEZ). I am very impressed. I've had Androids and Bberry (dont laugh lol), and, usability wise, the 4s is head and shoulders above all my previous phones. Some things I miss (like small hack-like apps for enabling hotspot functionality like you can find on Android without paying VEZ stupid money for the service, and without fully hacking my way into it), but beside this one issue, I'm impressed.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pincheck 0 #49 September 25, 2012 I was quite surprised when we renewed my daughters contract. She is a apple fan . I am not ,discussions can be hot . She knocked me for 6 though, by turning down the iphone 5 and plumping for the 4s ! i thought she would have went for the new one. Her reason was its was too large that simple it would not be comfy in the tight jeans teenagers squeeze into was the other reason why she discounted the Samsung galaxy s3. wonder if this will be a big issue for the younger generation ?

quade 3 #50 September 25, 2012 QuoteHer reason was its was too large that simple it would not be comfy in the tight jeans teenagers squeeze into... The iPhone 5 is a little less than 1/2 inch taller and it's actually smaller if you consider its entire volume because of how much thinner it is from front to back. Check my math. iPhone 5 Height: 4.87 inches (123.8 mm) Width: 2.31 inches (58.6 mm) Depth: 0.30 inch (7.6 mm) Total volume = 3.37 cu inches Weight: 3.95 ounces (112 grams) iPhone 4 Height: 4.5 inches (115.2 mm) Width: 2.31 inches (58.6 mm) Depth: 0.37 inch (9.3 mm) Total volume = 3.85 cu inches Weight: 4.9 ounces (140 grams) Source: http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ So, in reality it's smaller and lighter.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
