Many iPhone fans were extremely disappointed with the latest smartphone from Apple. With high expectations of an entirely new phone, the iPhone 4S has a shockingly similar resemblance to the previous model. Some of the new features include an 8MP camera with HD video recording, a dual-core A5 chip, iCloud, and iOS 5. The 4S will be competing neck-to-neck with the Samsung Galaxy in order to maintain their market share lead (currently lead by 0.6%).
I believe that although there won’t be many consumers upgrading from the iPhone 4 to 4S, there will be a large number swapping their 3rd generation iPhones. Also, I expect for there to be many smartphone users considering buying the 4S to commemorate Steve Jobs, who lost his battle with cancer on October 5th. Pre-orders for the 4S are already sold out and the shipping estimate was recently extended to 1-2 weeks. I think current iPhone 4 users should wait for the 5th generation model and users with older generations should definitely consider upgrading to the 4S.
Come release day, one can expect lines outside of Apple retail stores, wireless carrier stores, and other places such as Best Buy, Future Shop, and Wal-Mart.
