Today Apple announced their fifth iPhone, we have had, in order: June 2007, iPhone July 2008, iPhone 3G June 2009, iPhone 3GS June 2010, iPhone 4 For this iPhone, we were all hoping for an iPhone 5, which is to mean, a redesigned phone. Instead we got an updated iPhone 4, we got the iPhone 4S. What we did NOT get: A bigger screen, the iPhone 4S will be the usual 3.5". 4G! This is huge, can people wisely enter into a two year contract without 4G. 3G might be good enough now, but what will happen in a year with carriers shifting their resources to 4G LTE? When websites continue to demand more bandwidth? When our lives inch closer to the cloud? This launch reminds me of the first iPhone, the 3G technology was there, but Apple chose the safe route and went with 2G. When Apple released the iPhone 3G a year later, it rendered the first iPhone obsolete. Many mactards were "forced" to upgrade. What we DID get: A dual core processor and bump in RAM
