How is that not slagging someone or something off?

Grow some ***** FFS.

I must have confused you with Ant. I mean, you are just so alike now it is hard to remember who said what.

That's one of the annoying things people say! So, I've got an iPhone so I'm automatically a 'fan boy' that's bollox! You get labelled a show off or fan boy for having a device you want/like! For me, the iPhone works best, it's been so reliable, easy to use, fun and a great help in my job.

I remember when my mrs first got her iPhone, I told her she'd get grief off her non iPhone possessing work mates and family. She thought I was mad at first, then she came home with a story of her brother slating her iPhone and being nasty about it. You literally get attacked for owning one, I've had it off various ***** for years! There's nothing else like it that seems to stir people up so much, it's hilarious really.

As I say, I wanted out of the apple thing because it's quite annoying being labelled a fashion victim but the reality was I'd be cutting off my nose to spite my face!*

Not at all. A fanboy is someone who will not except that there are other people out their that prefer different things.

I have lots of chums with iPhones. Do I really hate Apple so much as to not have them as my friends anymore? Don't be daft.

If you don't go around stating that Apple is better than anything else and that the only reason people don't have their products is because they can't afford them, then you are not a fanboy. So try harder!

Seems light hearted banter gets threads locked around here now, I'm sure this will follow the same way.

Managed to find the pictures that we tested the phones with, granted the angle is slightly different but here they are, one with the 4, one with the 4S (both with HDR on). Which is which?!? Would you say there is enough difference to warrent spending £200+ over the length of the contract?





Can you tell we did it over our break?

Having just got a Galaxy S2 I was surprised by how good Vlingo is. OK, it's not Siri, but it's still usable, and considering how quickly they must have rushed to move it on when Siri came along, it's quite impressive.

I'd guess the 2nd pic as from my testing they looked the same apart from the 4s colour rendition was more realistic and the 4 was over colour saturated. *The 1st pic looks brighter colours so I'd say the was the 4? I did the same thing with a mate and the increased megapixel count seems BS to me.

The camera isn't exactly something to choose between them! The dual core and fact the 4s will not **** out on loading pics on a large thread with loads of pics is a better reason! Let alone the improved antenna.

Ignore my personal observations if you like, now children, back to the original question, what gives?
What those articles tells me is that since October 2011, the number of activations and internet usage has been in a continual decline for all iOS devices where as all other platforms have remained pretty much static. The downward trend isn't exactly a great endorsement for Apple, even Blackberry managed to show a gain in the last quarter.

The iPhone 4S shot is way better than its predecessor there. That is a surprising amount of difference actually. It's like night and day!

On a serious note I think some iPhone 4 handsets got 3GS cameras and the later ones got 4s cameras. You look at pics like above and the 4 camera looks ****e, yet I've held both in my hand and the quality is almost identical.

This was taken on my HTC Desire S.



Have no idea how it stacks up, but I was quite impressed.

But they are better and people who can't afford Apple products are the ones that slag them off!
