What can Apple do? They knew this product was not ground breaking. #fail
Too much hype for a small hardware upgrade like this.

That is for low 'IQ' graded people

Suppose, If you ask 'siri', Do I need umbrella to day? it will replied,(after checking with weather monitoring application) yah, To day is going to rain..

(Don't tell me, you can watch the cloud and make decision whether to took umbrella or not..Your decision are now with Apple.. if they say 'live' you live! 'die' you 'die'.. It is the wonderful land out there)

Its not the iPhone 5, its a 2nd edition of the iPhone 4. Just like the 3GS. And it is quite a development over the first. It has got the best resolution (better than the SII), Retina display, Video Stabilization, iCloud service, Siri, iOS5, Scratch-resistant glass back panel, 8-MP Camera, IPS screen, etc. Overall it will a great phone. Personally I prefer iOS + Apple's display over anything else. ;)

I beg to differ how can you say that ! No I don't think so it is better than SGS-2. Thats a Line from a iPhone Fanboy.

Mind checking the specs of the phones?

SII: 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches (~217 ppi pixel density)
4S 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi

Well Yeah, the Pixel Ratio may say that but having compared the iPhone 4 and SGS-2 Screen Resolution side by side in Real I really didn't find the iPhone 4 resolution beating the SGS-2 anyways...

I think Rajnuskar is talking about the new iPhone 4 and not the old one. S2 is def a good phone, but the iPhone 4 is also a fabulous phone. You need to use it to know the difference.

There is no difference in the Screen and the Resolution of both the iPhone4 and iPhone4S.

You will find the difference while browsing.

Apple delayed the launch by 4 months and what they come up with is processor and camera upgradation only!!
This is just pathetic!

I felt it was too soon for an apple 5. Looks like I was right.

BTW the present 4 is a good phone. The 4S just caters to the "there's no apple dual-core" argument.

The retina display is very good for text and even other things. The smaller screen becomes a problem only when you have used a bigger one. A lot of people prefer the smaller screen because that means even the phone is of a smaller form factor.
Also a 4" screen is difficult to navigate on with one hand. However I would have like if the apple was made a little smaller which retaining the screen size.

Overall a news for present iphone 4 owners to rejoice and Google too :D

I'm waiting for the new itouch. Always felt the apple's were overpriced :D

Fanboy or not, kindly post facts like actual resolution, any online review/comparisons etc etc

Also the IPS of apple has wider viewing angles and has a much clearer display

The OLED of Samsung has a wider contrast ratio and better colour reproduction.

I wanted to see more on those lines since I haven't used a Sammy at all. I only know this much about both the phones.

1.The SMOLED plus has viewing angle of almost 180 degrees,it has always been better than ips in this dept.
2.Colour reproduction is more neutral/better with ips.
3.contrast is something where SAMOLED blows everything away.
The IP4S feels like a Nano sized Merc.

Don't worry, iPhone 5 should have a 4" screen, which is to be released next year.

If you choose the right settings for conversion, movies could look just as good as the SII or even better. Not to mention the 4S supports H.264 video up to 1080p (unlike the iPhone 4's 720p). I have used the SII its a good phone, but I find Apple's screen to be more pleasing. SII itself is a quite huge phone, which may be to the disliking of many. Many prefer slim, compact yet powerful smartphone just like the iPhone.

I hope the new iPod touch features more or less the same power as the 4S. iPod touch's are always the best bang for buck products.

^It obviously will carry the same specs except the camera which cannot be fitted into a slimmer form factor.

Honestly I use Android because I can't live with a closed eco system such as apple's. I have not found Android to be phenomenally better than the iOS. I am a user of both and both are still far away from outdoing each other.

That is the sad part,you will have to convert it.
I know you can use oplayer hd,but it takes a big hit on the battery.
S2 is slimmer than ip4 and it is compact enough(not too sure about women though)
