What would convince you to buy the new iPhone 4S?

   In the comments written by you to the articles about iPhone 4S published by me in the last two weeks, I noticed that the terminal does not motivate you to take money out of your pockets to purchase it. The fact that the design has remained unchanged matters a lot, the new hardware is unimportant and Siri is mostly useless. The camera does not seem so important to you that it is worth the upgrade and the iOS also works on the iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS and you say that the upgrade is not worth it at the moment.

   If you don't like the iPhone 4S now, what could Apple change about it to make it more attractive? New features? Limiting the performance of iPhone 4 or 3GS terminals? Availability in a new color or price reduction? I want to know what exactly Apple could change in iOS 5 or iPhone 4S to convince you guys to spend some money to buy the device. We exclude here the design change or the implementation of a larger screen, things that will not happen.

  1. Well, if you exclude the design change and the bigger screen, what else could we choose?! Well, let's start by saying that there were and will be some "nonsense" if I can call them that, because they limited certain software on iPhone 4 and 3Gs, here I mean SIRI. The price should be lower, as for technology, I have nothing to comment on, it's ok.

  2. Crazy, if it was 1 euro per subscription like the Motorola Defy and other plastic stores, see how many kids here would buy it. But since it's money and the mother doesn't give them money to spoil the "fools", they sit and comment and find all kinds of reasons that are funnier.

    I didn't buy it because soon a new operator will appear and I want to move to them, and if I were to buy a 4S now, I would have to stay with the current one for another year or 1.

  3. Hello,

    Well, first of all, the price is very high. I know I'm paying for a premium product blah blah blah. 3000 RON represents an amount that exceeds the salary of a large percentage of your blog visitors. I will personally purchase it from Orange, as I have a 3G now that I can no longer work with.
    Indeed, the fact that it looks the same is an additional reason to wait, but this only applies to those who already have an iPhone 4.
    In conclusion, when our operators start selling, more 4s will appear in our area.

  4. An advantageous subscription price. If the price of the iPhone 4 stays the same, I'm really thinking of upgrading (being the owner of a 3gs)

  5. What would convince me to buy iphone 4S....I THINK THAT THE FOLLOWING ADVERTISEMENT WOULD CONVINCE ME! :

    Mobile phone Apple iPhone 4S Neverlocked for only 2699 RON. 16 GB memory, Wi-Fi and extraordinary resolution - send a smile to the other end of the earth with a simple touch. You can also make the payment by payment order. Product available immediately!
    Price: 2699 RON

    You can find this at PCcommerce ……iphone 4S for only 2699 (16 GB neverlocked variant!) I already placed the order and received the voucher. send it to me because the offer doesn't last long. Good luck

  6. The 4S clearly convinced me not to take it, taking into account that I have an i4... it doesn't come with anything revolutionary: just for the proc and the camera, it's really not worth the upgrade. Of course, I won't say anything since it will be ported to i4 as well
    if I had 3GS or below it was a completely different story.
    things will change radically next year with i5 when we will probably have a new design, bigger screen and more powerful hardware than 4S

  7. Absolutely nothing can make me change the current iPhone 4 for a 4S. Maybe I'll make a stop at a Nokia over 200 RON :))

    What would I want from Santa?... An iPhone 5 with a 4″ screen that is thinner, lighter and with a much longer battery life.

  8. thinner and with greater autonomy are not compatible things... but who knows, maybe we will have surprises, although I doubt it

  9. The money I have doesn't really help me to buy a 4s, but it seems like a big leap and what KFF says, there are many here who ask their mother and if it was 1 leu, yes, they would all buy it .it seems eclectic to me and yes, I will buy a 4s in the near future.. the recent purchases do not allow me, but I will take the phone. see the graphics soon and it is a huge leap for how it opens applications compared to the i4, let alone the 3g ... more than that, the camera is one of the best implemented in a phone at the present time

  10. I don't understand what could convince me apart from the price. They just won't change the components for me.

    Anyway, everyone was complaining until now that it is behind the iPhone4, now the components don't matter anymore, they wanted a different design.

    I would like Siri, to play. Maybe he will wear it

  11. The new operator in France will be Free Mobile. With prices at half of what they are now on the market.

    Put in google.fr: free mobile and there are already a lot of people discussing this. The network is being tested, there are some problems with others 🙂

    Sorry for offtopic

  12. This freeMobile might not offer the 4s, because I don't think it has a contract with apple yet, for the delivery of 4s phones. Or maybe ma n'shell. 🙂

  13. I think that for all those who don't have it, the problem is the price, you know the story, foreign prices and Congolese salaries, that's our minus, but as I said before, if you really like something, don't look at money, only in the time that passes until you have it... and to all this is added its usefulness compared to what we own, me and the old 3GS for what I need at the moment is enough, maybe others use it for other purposes as well (4s) , but more just for internet, games and telephony... it's a premium/luxury product, so not everyone can afford it

  14. On: I'm waiting for the "tucius boys" to come and bring 4ass for half the price, how can I find one of these, I bought it when I return to the "Land of choice".

  15. Free, through its parent company, Iliad, has been in discussions with Apple for a long time.

    And in France, all operators have iPhone 4S, even the virtual ones.

    I am waiting for virtual operators to appear in Romania, like this, at least 10 companies, in order to lower the prices.

    Free, however, is a classic operator that built its network starting in 2010. And it is impossible not to come with an iPhone. 101% impossible.

  16. In Russia, they don't give them a license for virtual operators, that's for sure. I don't understand the thing about "virtual operators".
    (( 🙂 ))

  17. Nothing for now, I've said it before, what does the i4 do and the i4S, except for the camera and Siri (which cannot be used in Romania) and for now at the current prices I don't see why I should upgrade, I would do it, if one from operators in Romania, would introduce convenient offers, maximum purchase price of 200 euros and subscription of 25-30 euros.

  18. The iPhone 4s is not very different from the iPhone 4, they have about the same functions except for the series, changed hardware and a better camera. These are some very important changes, but for me, one does not attract me with almost anything extra, it is very sump!!! It would only make it more attractive if it put a slightly larger 3,6-3,7-inch display and a flash player plus an android-like home screen. I'm thinking of buying a Samsung galaxy w, it's a very good phone in my opinion, even better than the iPhone 4 and in addition it's much cheaper around 300€ if it costs that much and the iPhone 4 would definitely destroy the android. We expect major changes from Apple for the iPhone 5

  19. Optimizing battery performance would come first for me. And it's scrambling to roll out Siri in all languages ​​once it gets past the beta stage. Which Apple won't do….anytime soon. But there would be strong assets to get my 4S urgently.
    As for what some users wrote above, oled screen, flash... I hope that Apple doesn't screw up and align itself with the failures of other companies. Who likes Galaxy, get it.
    But for example @cosmin142 you are contradicting yourself: you say that the Galaxy is better than the 4S, in addition it is also cheaper, and if the iPhone were cheaper by 300 euros, it would destroy the Android. Why, if Galaxy is better? A cheapness plus you say it's weaker would destroy Android, the Galaxy you want to get?
    I say this: (I said it before): Let Samsung raise the price of the terminals to the level of Apple, and then let's see what the world chooses!

  20. there would still be only one reason why I would buy a 4S: the home button would not have the problems of the i4. But since even this is not a certainty... I have almost exactly 0 reasons to get my 4S

  21. @TheDog, if you want to solve the problem with the Home button forever, find a friend who has a 4S for sale, to exchange it for you (the Home button between terminals), because he will sell it anyway. That's what I did, the 4S was sold and I was left without headaches (2 days ago).

    I meant exactly the screen, but if it wasn't considered that I would want a 4" screen, I wouldn't buy it for anything else. iPhone 4 suits me perfectly. I simply cannot understand why Apple does not make a 16:9 screen, which would be about 4" and would fit very well in the same dimensions of the case?...

  22. I have a little list made by me, for the future at least:

    – Facetime over 3G
    - Facebook integration
    – GameCenter User Availability + Chat
    – Stocks App optional download
    – News Stand optional download
    – Google Maps Turn-by-Turn
    - Stereo Speakers
    – Larger Folders
    - Radio
    –USB 3.0
    – FLAC Codec
    - Flash
    –Java
    - NFC
    – LTE
    – Panoramic Wallpaper (Android)
    – Wallpaper Loop Auto Change (Android)
    – Icon Renaming

  23. btw... some know it exists after the jailbreak... i don't do jb

    the list above refers strictly to how the phone leaves the Apple factory

  24. @Vasi, why pick it up if they can afford to sell it at that price? The price itself is part of a marketing strategy. A change like this in the marketing mix is ​​unthinkable. The plastic on the SGS2 is a desideratum made for the weight and the price, basically they wanted to offer an extremely high performance product, light, very thin and at an unbeatable price. From my point of view, although I am subjective, it is that they succeeded...

  25. I would like a bigger flashlight, to see in the night when cutting wood. In fact, what I would like the most from 4S is that not all cocalars have it. I feel stupid when I see all the idiots who have a nice and expensive tool, but they don't know how to set up their email account. Because they don't even have mail. And he asks you like a teaching doctor: well, aren't you going to make me play some games?

  26. The answer to the question posed in the following way "for what reasons would you not buy an iPhone 4s" would be more appropriate. But for what reasons would I get my new iPhone, there would only be one, namely, if I lost my iPhone 4!!!!

  27. I would buy 4s if it didn't have problems, but I see that they repaired one and there are others, ... I would like apple to return to the quality of the products they had until 3gs, to count again on quality and not just the money - win them

  28. Siri shmiriii, if we can't use it in Romania, it's fixed for nothing, and the weather widget doesn't even have coverage for all cities in Romania (I live in Bistrita-Nasaud and it's not a village, is there a fix for this???)

  29. @Tuzgureanu :)) well he says, that's how I feel too, I have a colleague who doesn't know how to download his games and has had an iPhone for about 5 months... yes, he really knows what the Home button does, if I show him Voice Control, I think he's having a heart attack!

  30. Other colors of the case [I saw a yellow one, the color was beastly, like the Camaro SS, yumi...], the possibility of stopping all connections much easier [sbsettings is vital], returning to the robustness of the system [from what I read on the net became full of bugs, how can I compare it with an Android :D], Siri, it has no importance for countries that do not speak English. Honestly, I won't be talking on the phone for a long time from now. I swear enough at that girl who gives me directions on the GPS. Could the Home button be like the Samsung Galaxy ones?? Robust that is. More than once I hit the office phone, maybe it will come back [it didn't :(]. The possibility of using drag-and-drop, it is incredibly simple and easy to use that facility. And for real now, I want to I have a bluetooth that works as it should, in line with the century we're in. I die when I see that I can't transfer anything with anyone...

  31. To avoid other comments, the color was not from the stickers, the back and the screen were changed, including the home button, everything was like the original, only the color was different. I felt it in Qatar.

  32. Simple: The phone is part of a Business category, but monkeys will never understand that only Nokia made bananas...

    What would motivate me? I was already motivated by the Apple brand, nothing more, but as some others also said, if mothers didn't give them money, everyone would buy turbo gum.

    I kept trying to refrain from forum comments, but this topic really broke reality for some users ("oled", "bluetooth pairing"), although I forgot that the most ported songs and images are with Salam and Braileanca...

    In short, let's not make a flame out of this topic, what is important is everyone's opinion:
    The phone is absolutely PERFECT
    I still have the iPhone 2 and the rest up to and including 4.

    Only at Zaone did Neverlock for i4.
