Frankly if the 5 comes out in less than a year, which I suspect, then i will also get that.

Well, needless to say. while this Iphone 4s doesn't seem to be a barn burner for those with a 3 GS it is a big upgrade and for those with a 4 its eye candy or an early holiday present to themselves.
So bottom line: it will take months for Apple to catch up with demand. Only thing thats not in Apples favor is that ATT is not giving early upgrades this time around.

Not true. I've had my iPhone 4 for 15 months and am eligible for a subsidized upgrade from AT&T. The amount of time before you can get an upgrade depends on how much you spend each month.

OK. Here are the facts that we know:
1. The iPhone 4 and 4S look the same. Someone superimposed the pictures and there is no discernible difference.
2. The physical dimensions from Apple's site are identical-to 0.1 mm.
3. Apple's site claims that the same bumpers fit the iPhone 4 and 4S:

Quote:
the two-tone iPhone Bumper fits snugly around the edges of iPhone 4S and iPhone 4.

Now, based on that, your argument that there might be a problem with cases fitting is a little bizarre. Seems to me that YOU are the one who needs to come up with evidence to support that claim.

What's that got to do with anything (and, no, I'm not angry). You claimed that iPhone 4 cases might not work on the iPhone 4S. Yet all the evidence (see above) says that they will.

So where's the evidence to support your claim that iPhone 4 cases might not work? Alternatively, feel free to withdraw your FUD.

Are we talking Bumpers or iPhone 4 cases in general? I would think Apple's redesign of the "universal" Bumper for the GSM-base and Verizon iPhone would have also included the iPhone 4S, but I'm sure there are plenty of cases that need to be redesigned for the iPhone 4S. Mainly for cases that cover the back side where Apple now has an f/2.4 aperture.

The only reason ATT gave out early upgrades was they wanted to secure one last 2 year agreement from the people who wanted to jump ship to Verizon.

ATT knew more US carriers were coming.

That's simply not true. Just as an appeal to authority is not fallacious (except in a strictly deductive sense, which isn't normally the case in a real world discussion) if the "authority" "appealed to" is actually an authority on the subject, an (ad-hominem) attack on their qualifications, honesty or motives is not fallacious if it calls into question whether they are actually speaking from their unbiased knowledge or from some other basis.

I don't think the change in aperture is likely to, in the absence of evidence that it does, change the actual outside dimensions of the lens. It certainly doesn't seem to be necessarily the case, pun intended.

You may want to employ basic English grammar in any insults (even if it's not an AI rule)?

"you're" means something quite different than "your", and didn't make your post look particularly smart either, even before adding the f-word.

So... you're saying that when you ordered your 4S on Friday you had absolutely no problems getting it even though you phoned right at midnight PST. That's fantastic! Congrats! Hope you enjoy the new phone.

The depths of this subject that you guys are plumbing is impressive. You are correct in the specific sense that argumentum ad hominem refers to an attack on the person that is not relevant to the argument, and calling into question someone's pertinent qualifications is not, in itself, a logical fallacy. However, dismissing an argument based on a lack of qualifications is precisely the argumentum ad hominem logical fallacy.

Correct. Not sure why people keep suggesting iPhone 4 users aren't qualified for a subsidized upgrade. I got the iPhone 4 day one and have been eligible for an upgrade since June (AT&T). Pre-ordered my iPhone 4S day one again no problem with the subsidized price ($299 32GB). Again, just because you're still under contract does not mean EVERY person is not eligible. The amount you pay monthly will determine your eligibility.

Another thing that determines eligibility (with AT&T at least) is primary/secondary line status. The primary line usually becomes eligible for an upgrade before the other lines on the account. My wife is listed as our primary, and she became eligible about 16 months after our last upgrade. I'm considered the secondary line, so my line was eligible 3 months after hers.

Apple is now showing one of our phones shipped, but with a big 'exception' on the UPS tracking list, saying the service is not available to our address. Is anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Nevermind about the exception. It looks like both of my phones had the same hangup between Shenzhen and Hong Kong during shipment.

Jesus, it didn't take long for you to all get over your earth-shattering grief and start salivating over your next purchase, did it?

Nice.

And nicer still that you're all prepared to buy the same phone twice. Again.

Cue blah blah about graphics x7 etc. yes, yes, I've heard it. It's bollocks. It's the same blower, rehashed. With a voice assistant to make you look like even more of a self-obsessed tit while you talk to it in public.

Magical indeed.

But, pragmatically, it's also the right thing to do when dealing with trolls, shills, and their ilk. If you know someone is deliberately being dishonest, or intentionally attempting to provoke, the best course is to simply call them out on it. Sometimes, argument is a fool's game.

Yes, but keep it for the actual trolls, rather than people who might be disappointed with something Apple does. Scaramanga89 is an obvious troll.

First, you just said it that's nonsense. I simply said I'm not sure if will be compatible because of hte slight differences in hardware (it DOES have two antennas you know) and the fact that it has a different camera lens. We haven't had a lot info. I belive the iPhone 4S has a (1/3.2") sensor while the original iPhone 4 has a 1/4. Again, not sure if that would make a difference or not.

Again, what TRUE evidence do you have? Do you have the iPhone 4S in your possesion? Thing's are different on paper than in your hands. No need to get all worked up for something as simple as a case.

I wasn't even talking to you, so what does that have to do with anything? Also, it's not "Glenn Beck's style of argument" as you have no basis for that? Is it defined in the dictioinary? Is a "Glenn Beck" argument a fallacy? Well, then don't bring that to the table.

So... if it had the SAME internals as the 4, but with a different external case (or perhaps a bigger screen) then it would be better?... and you'd consider that an "upgrade"?
But since the improvements are all internal, then it just doesn't count?

Amazing. You're CONTINUING to imply that iPhone 4 cases won't work with the 4S?

Apple says that their bumpers work with both.

The physical dimensions are identical.

Someone reported superimposing pictures - and not seeing any discernible difference.

That sounds pretty conclusive. You're going to need more than "but there COULD be a problem" to justify your argument.

Until I see the cases on the phones, that's not enough evidence. There is a high likelyhood. But I'm not holding my breath.
