iPhone 4s: Over One Million Pre-Orders in 24 hours

According to benchmarks its 73% faster than the 4.

As far as it not being a "huge gigantic evolutionary step behind" the 4s, just means the 4s is that much better in terms of performance. But I agree, the iPhone was no slouch!

Benchmarks are about as accurate as you can get... its far better than a youtube video of someone trying to press a button at the same time on 3 phones.

Question? Is the iPhone 4s really better than the Samsung Galaxy 2 because I've seen at least 7 independent reviews comparing the two and all say the Samsung Galaxy s2 is better overall. Especially the T-mobile version. Just curious to know some of your thoughts.

Overall, the Galaxy s2 is better than the iphone 4s, but im getting an iPhone 4s because the galaxy s2 screen is humongous.

AppleCare+ to End Informal Free Replacement Policy for Damaged iPhones

Last week, we noted that Apple had introduced a new "AppleCare+" offering for iPhone, replacing the previous $69 AppleCare with the new $99 warranty extending coverage to two years from the date of device purchase and including new coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage. Incidents of accidental damage covered under the new AppleCare+ program will also incur $49 service fees.

One Apple retail store source has contacted us to explain in more detail how the new AppleCare+ program will also change the way the Genius Bar handles damaged devices. Previously, Genius Bar staff had some flexibility in waiving the $199 out-of-warranty replacement fee as a "one-time exception", giving customers a free replacement for a damaged phone. With the shift to AppleCare+, Genius Bar staff will no longer have the option of offering free replacements, so customers who have been aware of Apple's informal replacement policy should be mindful of the change.

Apple is also now requiring that AppleCare+ be purchased at the same time as the device, a change from other AppleCare offerings that have allowed customers to purchase AppleCare anytime before the standard warranty expires. That requirement has been causing some confusion with iPhone 4S pre-orders through carriers and other outlets, as many of them have not been offering AppleCare+ as an option.

Customers seem to be hearing different stories from Apple sales representatives regarding adding AppleCare+ to iPhone 4S purchases made elsewhere, adding to the confusion. Some representatives have suggested that a simple phone call to Apple can resolve the situation, while others have suggested that users should bring their unopened iPhone 4S boxes to Apple retail stores and have staff members set up the devices and add AppleCare+.


But while Apple's official policy requires AppleCare+ to be purchased at same time as the device, the source who reached out to us notes that Apple will allow users who did not purchase AppleCare+ to add it to a replacement phone if they damage their device and need to have it replaced. Under the program, customers needing to replace a damaged iPhone would be given a $50 discount on Apple's standard $199 replacement fee if they also purchase AppleCare+ for the replacement device, for a total cost of $249. That program would then cover the consumer for additional accidental damage incidents in the future.

Update: We're hearing that even Apple isn't clear on whether AppleCare+ needs to be purchased at the same time as the device. While Apple's iPhone and AppleCare pages are clear that AppleCare+ "must be purchased together with your new iPhone", the legal text of the AppleCare+ Terms and Conditions (PDF) indicates otherwise:
You must purchase the Plan while your original iPhone is within Apple’s One Year Limited warranty.
We've been told that Apple may be offering some clarification on the AppleCare+ situation by the time the iPhone 4S launches on Friday.

This is what I worry about, my evo gets dropped daily and gets back up, I'm scared of dropping the iPhone, i damn sure don't have 200 to replace it when it drops.

Divine what you know about sprint navigation on the iPhone? I need that too...?

Yeah, after reading all the reviews and looking at all the videos of both phones I ordered the Galaxy s2 from T-mobile. I like my G2 but the screen is too damn small.

Yeah I gotta go to the T-Mobile store and check that S2 out.

Yeah Jag but like I was saying earlier all the reviews I looked up were saying the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy s2 was better than the iphone4s. And I have no loyalty to any company. I just wondered which phone was overall better.

I won't deny apple makes good products, but I reject them on principle because they're proprietary. You gotta buy everything apple to work with the muthafucka - THAT is (was) Jobs genius. He set up apple like Ma Bell, no other choice if you wanna use MY shit.
For Sprint players who don't mind a larger phone, check out the Motorola Photon 4G. Absolutely blows iphone, evo, galaxy, infuse, etc. away. Only thing is the camera is weak. But it's a world phone (CDMA & GSM) and faster than lightning. EVO owner here, on my way to get me one.
 
Why are dudes still judging phones by specs and benchmark scores :confused:

Apple has always been judged on apps and software, and that hasn't changed with Siri. The only thing that really changed with with the Galaxy 2 was the specs.

This was back in 2009



This is impressive how far it's come

Why is the Photon better?

iPhone4S is a world phone too.

Photon looks good. Nothing out of the ordinary though. Has same specs as many of the other phones. Bigger screen than iPhone4S, and HDMI/USB inputs/outputs, but still similar.

In the future when dudes discuss phones, I'm going to ask, why is it better, because a lot of you don't know what you're talking about.

Siri is a game changer, the Galaxy 2 didn't drop a game changer. If you don't think Google and Microsoft weren't going damn, we should have done that when Siri was demoed you're lying to yourself.

The only mistake Apple made was having the case virtually the same as the 4, if they would have changed it up dudes would be going gaga over it. Now people feel like they can brush it off, because from a distance their phone looks the same.

I concur. Siri is a huge game changer. If Apple released the iPhone5 with a bigger screen, and Siri...

:itsawrap:

Even with keeping the same form factor, they still did a million.

Fuck one million pre-orders, it would have been through the roof if it were the iPhone5 :yes:

no qualms with that. But what about the people who use numbers to judge everything? does that count as giving an example of something being better than something else?

This is your opinion. and i respect it. If this app were to come to android (even though there is already Edwin), i highly doubt i would ever use it. Im speaking for me only, not for everyone else, but a phone that has this capability is not something that i would base my phone-buying decision on. Its a good app. I wont knock it.

It is built into the phone, so Siri is not an app. :smh:
 
i stand corrected then. i'll say "feature" instead.

And I agree, Siri is a nice feature, but over hyped in my opinion too. People will get tired of it soon. I might be wrong, but personally I can see myself getting tired of the shit. :smh:

Siri is built in to the phone, it's not an app. It started out as an app.

And generally specs don't affect every day use. I've asked people to tell me what a benchmark score determines?

So a dual core 1.5 is better than a dual core 1.2? What if you don't have any lag on the 1.2? If you tell someone you have 12 gigs of RAM on your computer, they're going to go ok and...

Has dual core made games on Android phones better than the iPhone? No, it mainly just helped with lag issues and multitasking.

Specs have become a way of marketing phones. We can just put out the same phone in 1.5 dual core, name it something else, and people will rush out and buy it. I swear I think HTC, Samsung and Motorola just mix and match parts and put something new out every month and slap a name on it. It's cool and the profit margins are higher, because Android is free. I understand tech geeks doing it, but if you're just going to use your phone to make calls and text, but you're repeating processor speed and the amount of RAM, you're just as bad as the apple sheep.

so then there is truly no way to say which product is better, unless you go by sales numbers? I agree with everything you just said.
 
Are you retarded, why do you do that shit :confused:

Because that's they way I always post. Most people don't give a shit about what I say, but the bitch I may post.......now that will get muthafuckas attention and may even have them go back and read what I said. Been posting like that forever. Just relax and enjoy the hoes with each post. Occasionally I will put them all in one post too by the way.

I think it's a cool feature and it will only get more intelligent over time.

It will be cool if you didn't have to press the button, you can just say Siri, ask your question and it will respond.

I could see myself using it a lot, and it would be very handy while driving.

Press the button twice. Once to begin, and once when you end your query. :smh:

As a feature to use while driving, great, but the whole thing og having to press the button twice :smh:
