Has anyone switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S? Happy? Sad? Don't mind wasting money?

I have a iPhone 4 and I don't really see any reason to get a iPhone 4S. The one thing that stands out is obviously Siri but I doubt I'd use it plus if I really wanted it I heard there is a hack to get it onto iPhone 4.

Plus, I was able to get all the updates of iOS 5 without buying a new phone.

Convince me to buy the iPhone 4S or else I'm getting a blackberry! (just poking a little fun at threads about switching from blackberry to something else)

For me it was a no brainer. I had saved an upgrade for a couple of months, so it was just $199, and I sold my i4 for $300. Back to your question, IMO its worth the jump. I take a lot of pictures, and the camera is head and shoulders above any other in the industry, including the i4. It's as clear as my 10MP Canon digital. The processor is uber fast, probably 40% faster than my i4. And of course Siri. It's really is handy when you're driving, and iCloud is pretty handy too. These are my main reasons why I'm totally satisfied with my purchase.

Upgraded camera, faster processor, Siri.

Siri really comes in handy when you're driving, like pilsbury said.

That really is a no brainer. You made money and got the new updates. Definitely would be handy having Siri in the car. I don't have an upgrade for a while but I did receive an email saying I could upgrade for full-price, definitely didn't seem worth it for me since I'm pretty happy with my iPhone4. Thanks for the feedback

I don't think it's worth an upgrade and not worth paying full price for it if you already have the i4 already. I still have my 4 around and test drove the 4S for a week. Everything is quicker, camera is nicer but definitely not worth the upgrade for the average user. If you use your phone a lot, it maybe worth the upgrade, but I'd save it for the iP5 if I were you(especially since your on the fence) and I'm sure in a few more months, rumors of an iP5 will be resurfacing again.

If it was the 5, yes. I can't justify full price for it though when I love my 4 with os5.

Oh! It seems that upgrading would cost a little bit of my <a title="You can get a paydayloan without a credit check" href="https://personalmoneynetwork.com/payday-loans/">payday loans</a>. I like the idea that it is quicker and the camera is more nicer when upgrading is done. Maybe, next month I'll pursue upgrading it. Thanks a lot.

I'm most likely going to wait for the 5. I really like Siri but right now it alone is not enough to make me upgrade. The upgraded hardware is great, but currently my iPhone 4 runs fast enough to the point where the difference will only be really noticeable in benchmarks.

I may pick up the Galaxy Nexus instead for now, but I am still undecided and disappointed with the hardware in that device.

I thought so too, but put a i4 and i4S side by side and run a few apps. The difference is a matter of seconds, but noticeable. I tried it out with Rage HD and not only did it load a few seconds faster on the 4S the 4 was much more choppy on the video.

Trust me, I have put them side by side. The 4S is very impressive, but not impressive enough for me to spend $800 full retail when I have an iPhone 4. If I had an upgrade available right now, that may change the situation.

I upgrade and made 50 bucks in the process

Agreed. If you don't have an upgrade then it isn't worth it.

I have an upgrade available in March 2012 and November 2012 so I will definitely be buying something then.

i upgraded both my wife's and my line to get iphone 4s...these are our first ever iphones. sprint made an error and i still have an upgrade available on my line...ill save that for 2012 BBX or iphone 5. in the 6 years i have been with sprint this is the 3rd time they do this lol

[avt123]

Not surprising. Sprint use to mess up my bill every month lol.

[sj-performance]

ive stayed with Sprint because im happy with their service and 3G and a 30% corporate discount that ive had for the last 6 years that comes in handy every month...

[avt123]

Yep Sprint is great if their service is good in your area. I had a nice discount as well, the constant dropped calls made me leave, same thing with AT&T.

[BrindawithanI]

I had an upgrade available but WAS going to stick with my iP4. My daughter had an 8gb 3GS and decided she was going to use the upgrade for an 8gb iP4, and there was no talking her out of it... She was unhappy with the performance after ios5. (too little memory with everything she had stored on it) Needless to say, I sold her my 2 month old 16gb for $100, sold the 3gs for $150 and used the upgrade for a 4s. (She can't believe how much faster everything is now that she's not maxed out on space). Kids!

Ha you sold you kid the PHONE AWESOME!!!!

Good parenting and I mean that. Teach them the value of money.

I know Sprint took a lot of flak at the beginning of the 4S launch, but its working great for me now. My Sprint phone is now consistently faster than my AT&T home DSL internet, and I've burned through 6GB of data with a week left in the month!

Oh, yeah, with free mobile to mobile I've only used 19/450 minutes voice also.

Heck yeh I sold it to her! She'd have spent the same $100 on the 8gb ip4 so she got a reeeeeally good deal on a practically brand new 16gb ip4 instead. Even SHE couldn't argue with that!

And I'm happy to report that we're both very happy! Siri is so convenient and I have better reception in my house with the 4S antenna than I ever got with my 4.
