Is it worth it to make a fast phone faster?

its up to you, i think its a minor upgrade. IF you don't have an iphone and looking to buy one go for the 4S. But in your case i will keep it since its only a processor,Camera, and iOS 5 upgrade

I would say no. The only reason i could think to update is because of Siri but i'm sure there will be something in Cydia to get that on your IPhone 4. Also next year you will want the IPhone 5 and really is it worth the hassle every year?

I have an iPhone 4 as well. I'm perfectly fine with mine, it's still fast, still works great so I'm just waiting until they release the next because we all know, knowing apple that'll be within the next few months. Since it seems they have new products every day...

the only difference is the letter s
Too bad that's not the only difference, iPhone 4S goes ahead with its Siri voice-activated personal assistant, A5 processor, CMDA+GSM chip, 1080p video capability, faster download speeds, improved graphics, improved camera and an intelligent switching antenna. The storage has also gone too high, up to 64 GB. The iPhone 4 storage went up to 32 GB only. The image quality is expected to be better even in low light conditions, the video resolution would also be better. The iPhone 4S comes with an 8 megapixel camera compared to the 5 megapixel of iPhone 4. In terms of pixels, the front facing camera goes from 720 pixels to 1080 pixels though it still remains a 0.3 MP one. The iPhone 4S also has hybrid GSM/ CDMA cellular connectivity whereas the iPhone 4 had quad-band GSM/ CDMA cellular connectivity. he faster A5 dual core processor will make it powerful device, with a claimed battery life of 8 hours.

This new phone was meant to be an upgrade to the iPhone 3GS users, as it may not be worth the upgrade from an iPhone 4.

The new dual A5 chips makes the 4s the most powerful phone on the market atm, it wasn't a small upgrade and many companys are going to pushthe new chips and better then ps2 graphics games will start showing up in the next year. If you don't use it for gaming then there is no reason to upgrade.

The only reason I'm going to say it's worth it is because I'm currently stuck with the 3GS. 4 or 4s, either way, it would still be an upgrade for me. If I'm spending money on an upgrade, why not go all the way.

In My Opinion i would probably say yes... I know i know you probably think i'm all insane, But How much will the upgrade cost? £100-£150 ($200?) Anyway, If you are going to get the 5, Think how much it will cost t go from the 4 to the 5...? If you but it now you will be able to get the 5 for dirt cheap, And im thinking the 5 will be out in 7-8 months. Also the 4s has Siri, Its 2 times faster and some of the Tips and Tricks / Easy features available on the 4s are insane. But i guess it up to you. Im probably being a bit bias because in 4 Days i get the 4s for my B-day so ( My first iPhone! ) im probably too excited but i guess it really up to you. It will be good if you get it, If you don't then your not really missing out.

Except you realize the dual core A5 is clocked under 1GHz.. The Rezound is a Dual Core 1.5GHz with a gig of DDR2. The 4s is a joke. The only nice thing is GSM+CDMA in one phone. Still no 4G...

It's an upgrade for the 3GS users. If you have the 4, save the upgrade for a newer one that will most likely be announced in the near future.
