eTaab perhaps the iPhone ? will prompt you later this year
I exspect it to have a different Design as with most phones now they have become
that bit bigger so prob a different design on apples next phone

Apple are pretty discreet so judging Photoshop pictures aint that real thing
not until apple have posted up and set a date then thats when you should believe

im not actually buying a phone this year I cannot see anything thats different from
what was around 6months ago ok so ICS comes in different forms on each phone
but its hardley impressive except those minor Kidsplay things

I think come end 2013 there will be more intresting things at play for myself
in meantime I will purchase the Applecare Extended Warranty for my 4S and enjoy it
like I have been for the past 5ish months now

Enjoy ur Samsung The Third (More like Shrek the Third)

@ Miss UK - personally ive always loved how the iPhone 4 looks, but to be honest now i think it looks old, dull and with a tiny low spec screen compared to the S3 and One X.

I know this is simply my opinion, but the sheer amount of black borders above and below the screen on the 4 and 4S just suddenly looks really old now.

I very much doubt Apple will tempt me. Out of all the tablets out there, i'd probably choose the new iPad, but Apple's closed ecosystem would just wind me up too much on a phone. Also, Apple would need to completely redesign their UI as its now looking really old also compared to ICS, Sense 4, Touchwhiz and Windows Phone.

I think the iPhone 5 or whatever it will be called will need to be the single biggest upgrade in Apple's most recent history to capture people back from Android and myself. They dont just need to increase screen size but tackle many other software and hardware issues where they're being left behind, NFC simply being one of them.

That old look or small issue isn't much of a bother
To me etaab I think the phone is really classy looking
Especially for a 2 yr old design what all boils down to is what
The phone can do for me Music is a must factor for me and
The iPhone delivers this better than a Android device Ive encountered
The OS is abit bland but I'm a 30+ Woman I don't care for
KidsPlay sources

The iPhone is a mature woman's phone
I indeed have never had a issue with a apple
Product there updates fix issues if I find something
That concerns

Not a fan of iPads that's another story
The Macs are abit odd to use I'm a Windows Gal

Android is a nice system though I can't say I'm missing
It but I would prob look at a spare if I needed one

But my 4S will become my next spare next year when
I figure out what's hot or not then

Im sure whatever iPhone comes next will please you, but to be honest apart from software innovation, which Apple seems to be running out of, i dont see where Apple can go next.

I'll stick my neck out and predict this years iPhone, if one comes this year, will be the biggest disappointment for loyal Apple fans ever and more than likely the biggest single unit of ammunition Android fans will ever need.

I think to get the wow factor, Apple will have to go for a full face HD screen with absolutely no bezel, or one which only has a 3mm-5mm border around every side of the screen. With possibly a camera and Xenon flash, at last !

Heh, thats a matter of opinion as always.

I found an iPhone 4 today, there it was laying amongst dead leaves, mud and rubbish at the side of the road. Sadly, its front screen is smashed, the rear glass is entirely missing as is the battery. It would have been nice to find a phone intact lol.

Anyway ive picked it up and brought it home with me. The owner obviously discarded it since it is totally destroyed but i though a dissection would be in order for Apple's 2010 flagship.

Yep well im not intrested ina iPhone 2012
so I will wait for the Sports version next year or look at something else
as I will keep my old iPhone

haha trashed iPhone lolz even if you got it working after paying all the bits for it
chances are it would be barred maybe the owner delibratley lost it to get a 4S

btw if you do pay for all the bits and do get it to work you can use it as iPod im sure
but I would look into that incase itunes can trace it

I dont think its repairable. Since its been through what appears to be a war, the entire phone is unstable. I always thought the aerial was a one piece design, well unless this one is broken the two halves can be moved independently from each other.

Im pretty certain the chips, components and micro circuitry is all but fried due to the recent weather. I was actually quite sad to see such an expensive high tech gorgeous device in such a poor state.

Sadly i dont have the money or time to spend attempting to repair it, moreso if it'll simply be blocked as reported lost or stolen. I think im just going to stick it on the shelf with my other phones as a museum piece.

Now how do i get the sim card out without the little tool .. ? (if theres one in there !).

if its a black iP4 then its I only like the white ones

post a pic up of this obliterated phone as will be a laugh to see its peril
im sure others will also be in for a treat

to take the Sim tray out you need a Drawing Pin or a needle slot it in and
it will come up (Sim tray I mean)

I never got a Tool with mine don't think there even included in the 4S boxes?

Heh, i will when the girlfriend has gone out of sight. You see its a kind of secret, i picked it up when walking past and showed it her and the other people of the group we were in. Then on the way back later in the day i had to walk behind the group on purpose and quickly snap it up when they were looking the other way lol. So she doesnt know i have it.

I know im such a geek when it comes to phones !
