I don't see the iPhone 5 being a big step up from the iPhone 4. I mean what more do you really want from a phone? Basically it could just get an updated CPU and GPU.

oh ok, my daughter might want to get it in June when her contract expires but is wondering about the features and if it's worth it.

First and formost, has it even being confirmed for launch in June?
I think it will be a very minor upgrade like the 3g and 3gs..

I'm waiting for the 5 to come, I feel it's too late now to get the 4

 

[waynegohl]

yeah wait til tomorrow because they may announce the iPhone 6.

Sure, the 4 is worth it, the 5 should be ... more worth it!

There's actually a world of difference between a 3G and 3GS.

if she does get it then i may inherit the ipod touch thats has been jail broken.

Actually.... If they just fixed the signal issue, and it was USABLE AS A PHONE, then it would be ideal!

up to 128GB Storage, maybe?

seriously, I have no idea how you can really improve, But I can damn well say that Apple does. they really do innovate.

These guys create markets like nobody's business.

you might have it right there.

I think the iPhone only works with Apple Apps and not Java apps do you think they may have those apps now?

 

[xera]

I heard that they were planning on removing java from OS X in the future... If that's true, then why would they add it on the iOS...

I never think these thing through before i type something.

 

[xera]

Personally I wish it could have java, so that I could write and use my own apps on it without having to go through the app store.... unless I'm missing something?

No chance, it works with Objective C only - and you have to be a registered Apple iOS developer to publish your app to your phone - unless you jailbreak or something.

 

[waynegohl]

My daughter works with a Romanian guy who always buys the latest gadgets and what he does is jailbreak them he did that to her ipod touch and she is able to download free apps so i reckon he will get the phone and do the same and if my daughter decides to get one then he might do the same to her phone.

According to both my kids if Apple does not activate full bluetooth with the next version they're going back to Nokia or some other brand of smartphone.
