4S has a faster chip, bluetooth 4.0, and facetime over both wifi and 3G as well.

I agree with the points he makes in general, but it does not bother me in the least to see an iPhone in a case.

BHalbrooks · 10-02-2012, 08:07 PM

Between the 4s and 4, there are a couple changes. If you have an upgrade sitting around, and want to move up, get a 4s for $99.

So who with their new iPhone is keeping it naked versus getting a case?

I've always been anti-cases for phones, but did use the bumpers on the last one because of the entire glass phone. For the 5, however, I'm going back to my old ways.

I haven't picked up a 5 yet but when I do it will be going in an otterbox. I have 2 small children and my 3Gs has survived them because of the otterbox so I'll be taking no chances with the 5.

I Got The Zagg Invisible Shield HD Screen Protector For The Front & Griffin Clear Back Case From Best Buy To Protect The Rear & Sides Of The Phone. I Like It Much Better Than My Otterbox. Beautiful Clear Screen!

Well you certainly are the risk taker... Best of luck, and may I suggest getting the insurance if your plan to rock your Iphone without protection? its a good idea... Trust me...

CigarNut · 10-03-2012, 09:17 AM

I picked up a bumper for mine rather than a case. I like the bumpers and have not had a problem and they do not add a lot of extra size or heft to the phone.

King James · 10-05-2012, 08:56 AM

Here is an article that somewhat reflects why I don't like a case. However, I wouldn't use as "direct" of language about it (lol) and I don't have the same negative attitude towards people that do use a case, I just don't like them and choose not to.

My iPhone 5 is supposed to show up today according to UPS tracking. Can't wait!

King James · 10-10-2012, 02:25 PM

For people that would rather turn their old docks into wireless speakers instead of getting the lighting to 30-pin adapter:

I have discovered that my iPhone 5 camera is not as good as my wife's 4S camera in low light using the flash. Going to talk to Apple about that next week...

BHalbrooks · 10-11-2012, 05:29 PM

What's the Value on 4s's right now? I found out this weekend that my Father in law wants my Wife off his plan (Long story why she's on it to begin with). My Sprint contract is almost up, and I had planned on just getting my Wife an iPhone 5... Until this weekend.

So now we're gonna go to Verizon, since I have a chance to get away from the death star aka Sprint.

I honestly don't know why I just explained that entire story...

Not sure if this is the best site, but try www.gazelle.com I was offered $234 for my iPhone 4S, didn't take it, but was curious to see what I could get out of it.

Just checked my old phone (droid x) on Gazelle and it was worth $20. However, I sold it on ebay for $75.

mithrilG60 · 10-12-2012, 02:45 PM

Gazelle seems to undervalue things by quite a lot, you should almost always be able to get a better price on eBay or Craigslist. I know factory unlocked 16gb iPhone 4's are selling for about $300 in my area.

BHalbrooks · 10-15-2012, 07:31 PM

I need a completely un-biased opinion.
Is it worth it to get the iPhone 5 over the 4s? I mean speed. Is the 4g crazy fast on the 5?

King James · 10-15-2012, 07:42 PM

The speed is considerably faster, yes. Whether or not its worth upgrading from a 4S is dependent on other things, though. At least in my opinion.

BHalbrooks · 10-15-2012, 07:48 PM

Dependent on what Sir?

King James · 10-15-2012, 07:58 PM

Well I'm sure it can be different for different people. If you are happy with the 4S, if you have an upgrade available, why you need or don't need the speed increase, if you want the bigger screen, etc. I just more meant speed may not be the only thing to consider
