All of the carriers have quietly changed their upgrade without penalty period from 24 to 30 months. Unless you are pgrading from an iPhone 3G, you are paying a penalty that is about half of the ETF fee.

It/he/she has the stock robot voice used for every movie where the robot tries to take over the world. First reaction from the iPhone 4S video introduction was fear, honestly. Why Siri? Iris spelled backwards. Very bizarre to me, I just don’t see where it is coming from.

It’s one thing to give commands in a rigid procedural programming environment and another to just have a conversation with a “friend”.

LTE seems to suck batteries dry and the 4s 3G download speeds of up to 14m on HSPDA are more than enough. Consider this… I have 3G and get 3m or so… and can’t find a need for more, esp when I’m data capped.

They’re incredible battery hogs and have significant mass production units. (More than one Android launch has failed to meet deadline over 4G radios).

To the end consumer, you won’t notice much difference unless you heavily use your 3G already.

Personally, I use 3G very rarely and opt instead to use wifi, which uses DRAMATICALLY less battery than 4G (and even 3G) and still beats the pants off 4G in terms of speed (as long as your internet connection is good).
