iPhone v4
Posted: Fri 11 June, 2010 Filed under: 1BEM, Geeky, iPhone, Thoughts 3 Comments »As regular readers know, I’ve now had my iPhone 3GS for a couple of months. I’ve been surprised by how well I do get on with it in a lot of ways (although it does have some epic frustrations as well, mainly based around the keyboard) and how much more I use it than I expected to.
But I’m still not an evangelist on the thing. I’m not addicted to it or obsessed with it, and if something better came along, I’d have no problem with moving away from the iPhone.
So – as someone asked yesterday – would I want the newly announced iPhone 4 ? Am I envious of the people who will have one? Do I feel the need to upgrade as soon as possible?
In short, no. There’s nothing really on the new iPhone that is a deal-breaker for me. In fact the only thing that I’d like from it is the more advanced/powerful battery. I don’t need/want any of the other little doohickeys. I don’t make video calls anyway – never have – and the rest of it was all a bit underwhelming, really.
So if this one breaks, I wouldn’t have an issue with replacing it with a v4 iPhone. But I’m not going to go out and upgrade for the hell of it, or to have the latest/greatest. It’ll be updated again in 6-12 months anyway.
Deal breaker or deal clincher?
You will know the day before the world is about to end – you’ll find me having bought an iPhone 😉
Yeah, deal-clincher, whatever.
And yep, I thought the same about the iPhone. But like I said, at the time it was the best of the options, and I do like it. Just don’t love it, let alone worship it the way so many seem to.
Sad to say, the longer I have mine (since early December), the more I like it. I can’t compare it to another smartphone as I haven’t had one before, but I’d certainly not return to an ordinary mobile phone.
