I got the 3GS and 4S both on launch day. I am really quite happy with the 4S, so I'm not entirely sold on upgrading. However, I do believe in upgrading on launch days to get maximum use out of a device before the next upgrade. So if I don't do it now, I'd wait at least another year. I will probably end up getting a 5S, but... we'll see.

Your 4s will get the update to iOS7 next Wednesday, so it will be running the same OS as the new phones which includes a ton of cool new features. However, what remains to be seen is if the latest and greatest iOS will slow down the 4s like last years iOS6 did to the original iPhone 4. I'm hoping not.

I'll be upgrading to the 5s on boxin day when my contract is eligible. I'll be gettin a black 32gb version

So who bought one??? I got me a 64GB black (space grey) model today. I had wanted the gold and should have ordered online last night when I had the chance. 99% of stores didn't carry it. But I would rather have a black model now then wait 6 weeks for gold to become available at this point.

What the heck's the point of colored iPhones when 99% of people are just going to put cases over them?

Are these out yet?

If not, when are they coming out?

Honest question. Do you live under a rock?

I have made the decision to stick with my 4S for another year. In the end, I just couldn't justify the cost when I have no complaints about the function of my current phone. When I upgraded from the 3GS to the 4S my battery was crap and I was ready to be done with the 3GS design. That just isn't the case with my 4S right now.

4S is very capable, yeah, but the 5s is a a pretty big upgrade in every category. it's worth the $200 if you are already on contract to just swap it in, IMO. We are talking about a device you carry with you all day, every day as your personal companion. I'm happy to invest a little into that.

Besides, if you have had your 4S for more than two years, you are actually doing yourself a disservice by NOT upgrading, because your monthly bill will be the same rather you upgrade or not, and technically you are being charged a subsidy fee every month anyway, so why not get your true money's worth?

Yes, but it's a rock worth living under :tgrin:
