I got my first iPhone, a 3GS, a few months ago. How do upgrades work and how much are they, typically?

You're the second person to say people poo-pooing the design are 3GS owners who are bummed.Dreams-Visions said:

Looks nice. Smaller screen @ higher res would be great except I find myself having a hard time text when not in landscape mode as it is. I'd be a wreck trying to 1-hand text with a smaller screen.

If this leak is a fake, what are the chances apple would respond and say so? I'd think the longer their silence lasts the more concrete this story becomes.
I think the phone looks fine myself, certainly much nicer than this HTC android.
Can't wait for official media, the iPhone 4G/HD will be my first iPhone, I have to enjoy it while it's hot!

Yeah you're not gonna be happy. Full retail.
fixed for accuracy. I don't care if they change it from the 3GS/3G design. I do care if they use a completely uninspired and boring design used by a huge number of current phones. maybe it looks different in my hands, maybe it will feel like holding nothing at all.. I'm not going to let boring looks stopping me from getting one. I just liked being able to use my iphone and everyone around me knowing I'm using an iphone.. compared to using my phone and everyone not even thinking anything of it because it looks like every other phone.Dreams-Visions said:

Loser slave of the system :(
I wonder what Steve Jobs is doing/thinking right now.
Yeah, if it was "lost" in a bar, wouldn't a normal person bring it to the bar management where the owner could go back and find it, instead of taking it home and posting pictures of it on the internet?
I can see where Apple is coming from when they say it was technically stolen. If someone randomly just found it on the sidewalk, it would be different.

And it doesn't really look THAT different from the current iPhone. If people could spot you using an iPhone before, they should still be able to tell with this new one. All slate-type phones w/ touch screens basically look the same, not much you can do differently.

Probably a mixture of anger that it got out and joy that people are apparently digging it.AgentWhiskersX said:
Apple will be very "no official comment" until July, at which point it'll be some off-handed joke about how the hardware reveal is a "big surprise" or something during the keynote.

I really like how the new iPhone looks. Although, I'm wondering what new additions to the OS it's gonna have, if anything.
Might get one for Christmas. Who knows.

It does look like every other phone, because everybody fucking has one!
I was one of the first people in my office to get a 3G, I work at an engineering firm and there are at least 80 iPhones in my company, this is on top of the many I see daily.
You can't stand out with an iPhone!
meh.. you guys might think it sounds stupid or petty... but for an industry that has always seemingly prided itself on original, innovative, and/or artistic designs, it just seems that once smartphones took over as the norm everything just became 100% generic looking. all slate phones look like all slate phones and all qwerty phones look like all qwerty phones, etc. boring.
shit, this is the last year I get to be considered the prime marketing demo 
lol.. pretty sure I'm well outside of your generationTalon- said:

Well, yes yes. I know it'll come with OS 4, I meant extra features. Like the 3GS had a compass while the 3G didn't.

There are some major areas where Android is very very far behind the Iphone, but they are mostly limited to gaming and business. Other then that, its personal preference
basically all the new iphone has to do is improve the screen, there doesnt need to be any other revolutionary change to it. A bump in the processor is most likely as well, but the only real noticable difference hardware wise when you sit a Nexus One-esque (incredible, desire, etc) phone next to a 3gs is the screen.

incredible, isn't it? buying shit for the singular purpose of hoping *someone else* cares about it to make you feel better?zero margin said:
anyway, can't wait. will be a worthy upgrade from my 3G. for the upgraded screen alone. I bet the iChat implementation is gonna be sick.

My 3g is falling apart so this is a definite day 1 for me.
Be interesting to hear about what happened to the guy who lost it.

feels like only the Windows Phone 7 phones will stand between Apple and absolute mobile domination.
considering they'll be starting their "app store" damn near from scratch...I hope MS is gonna be up for the challenge. I love a good fight. I just don't think it's a fight they can win this time.

Probably not, though. Isn't an app like PhotoSwap only allowed because there is moderation of the images to remove anything objectionable?
As in, I don't think Apple is cool with swapping photos with strangers. Might be wrong, but I never understood the point of PhotoSwap's moderation unless it was mandated of them.

I haven't followed the iPhone carrier situation closely as of late, but is there any chance that the new iPhone (or some iPhone) will end up on Verizon or T-Mobile (or even Sprint)?
