So what do you guys think of the new iPhone? I'm a bit underwhelmed to be honest, I think they needed/should have been more ambitious.

I am interested in seeing the new version of iTunes which is revamped more than they have in a long time, something I think has been long overdue.

What a trash "upgrade". A tad better battery life and a bigger screen. What a joke.

IWP - One is lead to believe that the 4s will not carry iOS6, based on the chart you posted. I'd like to think the 4s will support iOS6?

I'm only excited about the native Turn by Turn navigation in the Maps app. Yes, I know there are third party apps that work, but I just like using the Google Maps version (former Android user). I'll be downloading iOS 6 for my 4s next week.

The rest of the stuff is just fluff for me.

I expected it to press my clothes to be honest. To not even be able to fold is almost an insult.

You would think it would with all the media attention they get for such a simple phone upgrade. As if this was news or something.

You would think Apple is the only company to hold these events given the reaction they get from the anti-Apple crowd.

It'd be lessened if it weren't shown on every news network as a featured story every time. Call me when the new Nokia phones or every new Android device gets a feature on CNN.

Also, I'm posting on a Mac right now so it's not like I'm simply an Apple hater. I just don't like that they're seen as the beacon of innovation when they haven't been since like 2007 or so in the phone space.

Well they've done well enough in the past decade that they basically don't need one anymore.

I'm not blown away, but I'll be updating to the 5, since I skipped the 4S. Still on the 4.

I still have the 4. I think I'll pass on the 5, maybe pick up the next version.
