It looks like Apple has done it again! They debuted its mighty iPhone 4S on 3 major carriers and it turns out to be a mega hit instantly.

Sprint is still accepting orders for the 32GB and 64GB version of the iPhone 4S whilst they have sold out all the 16GB units. Verizon and AT&T have sold out completely. Verizon shows that it plans on delivering new orders on 10/28/2011. So it seems they are still taking orders with anticipation of a quick turn around time for more iPhone 4S devices. We were unable to browse the AT&T website as it wouldn’t load up properly at our end (at the time of writing). Keeping that in mind, we can safely say that; the iPhone 4S is a hit regardless of the fact that it resembles the iPhone 4 in looks. The phone is an upgrade no matter how you look at it. Siri has the potential to be exceptionally useful specifically to those driving and more specifically; the lazy ones. The internet is a gateway to mass freedom of speech, and we witness this most anytime news is released about Apple or Android. With that said, all of the internet hate on Apple can be squashed with this fact: the iPhone 4S is a hit. Numbers don’t lie and some may not feel that this device is a worthy upgrade, the masses have spoken.
Gartner analyst C.K. Lu told Reuters;
[I]"Apple no longer has a leading edge, its cloud service is even behind (Google’s mobile operating system) Android; it can only sell on brand loyalty"[/I]
Well it appears that there are a lot of loyal people C. K. Lu.
I feel what C. K. Lu failed to understand is, Apple is doing a better job of bringing all of the services and products together so that they work fluidly and seamlessly. Google may have Google Music along with its cloud storage for music and its funky lil’ web-based music player, but you need that when they don’t provide an application to manage all of your media on your computer. They may also have Google Docs, but what good is that without providing me productivity software that automatically syncs all of my documents as I am creating them?
I think Roger Entner summed it up pretty well in an interview with Bloomberg;
[I]"It looks like another blockbuster launch for Apple, only this time with three carriers."[/I]
What else can I say? Since I have been covering much of the iPhone 4S news and beginning to really see how Apple has integrated all of its products, I feel as if I am starting to convert. I have been an avid Google user from GMail to Google Chat to GCal and I use them extensively on my Android phones. Its come that time where I am starting to realize that maybe its time to experience what Apple has to offer.[/quote]

Their bitching is justified.
Apple are really really big dickheads, but I applaud their business tactics, because at the end of the day - it's a business.
And here I am saving up enough to get my own plan and get a 3GS (which comes free with a plan) and pay the early termination fee.
Well.. uh, good for apple.
ITT: butthurtness levels high
Well Apple users just lost more credibility.
Also, 2k posts.
why would you buy a whole new fucking phone if it only has a handfull of new features
fucking hell apple fan's are so retarded

It's not that.
It's because Apple users seem to show us over and over again that they're not capable of making more economically sound or informed decisions.
New iPhony got sold out on the first day, what a surprise
[QUOTE=Zanfall;32769966]I know, right. It's almost as if people have different tastes than me. Unacceptable.[/QUOTE]
Its not that, its that a lot of them would have had an Iphone 4 already so there would really be no point in getting the Iphone 4s

what. You act like they're going in to huge debt or something over a phone. It's not like they're buying a beach house or something. People buy what they want, and people happen to want the iphone.
Well i'm glad to say i won't be getting one.

And it's stupid as fuck, people who do things that are stupid as fuck consistently piss Facepunch off. Especially when it enables the company to do this shit more often and possibly encourages other companies to follow the same path.
We don't care that people want this, we care [b]why[/b] they want it.
95% of them are sold for the exact reason I said. "Oooohh shiny new numbers and letters." That bothers me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you prefer android, yes? Cool, other people prefer the iphone, it's nothing to get all bent out of shape over.
The iphone4s isn't just an iphone 4 with an s tacked on, it's got totally re-worked insides too, such as a new camera and optics, siri, better processor, a redesigned antenna (which admittedly wasn't the best in the iphone 4), possibly more ram, but that's unconfirmed as of right now. What more do you want?

You act like it's a bad phone.
It's not, it's one of the best specc'd phones out there with a simple and easy to understand operating system.
I work in consumer electronics, and it's plain as day that people find iOS easier to use (pick up and immediately use it) than Android.
The mass marked is [B]NOT[/B] driven for people like you, who obviously prefer the level of depth Android can have; it is for ease of use and simplicity.
Man, people are really wasting their money.
Ahh the Nerds... *puffs cigar* Siri tell android fans they are gay and owned. 'Yes sir"

I never once said it was a bad phone. I said it bothers me that minor changes that should be expected of a company(let alone a company like Apple) drives news stories like this.
And that EVERY tiny change to the iPhone get's talked up in the press like God incarnate.

Well it did just net over a million pre-orders. That's pretty newsworthy.
Nathax stop post

Well this is the first time the iPhone has been available on Sprint, so a large number of the preorders actually are first-time iPhone buyers, as well as people extending their contracts after having a 3GS for two years.
