So, who's getting an iPhone?

[Extraordinary]

One of the many reasons why the iPhone does so well with battery life is because of the screen size. It does make a huge difference. Also lacking 4G technologies like WiMax and LTE help it too.

But the battery life is great. I would like to see a iPhone XL with a 4-4.5 inch screen. I am sure they would also beef up the battery.

I went extreme camping for 8 days this summer, no electricity, no cell service, no running water, extreme. I brought a solar charger, but didn't use it. I brought my iPhone 4 fully expecting it to die half way through or less than the 8 days. I used it for pictures here and there, showed a few videos I took months ago, played a little music, used the digital compass a few times. I never powered the iPhone off once. I only put the phone in Airplane mode, turning off the cell radio. At the end of 8 days 53% battery left. I am totally happy.

Airplane mode is key any phone will last forever then. Did that with my old tp2.

Great, what's the point? Could your touch pro 2 last 8 days and still have 53% battery life. I doubt it. The TP2 didn't even have a digital compass. The point is battery life comparison. I can go 2 or 3 days of normal use without a charge ordinarily. Bickering about battery life is ridiculous if one has to lug around a whole backpack of phone batteries and charging accessories just to get acceptable usage.

All depends on the area and the users individual's usage. That's the great thing we can all pick a carrier we like along with a phone that fit our usage and needs.

im waiting to see the iphone 5..its suppose to be 4G and a Sprint only phone from what i read around online so im going wait and see the iphone 5

I highly doubt it'll be a Sprint exclusive. Just doesn't make sense. I know articles suggested it, but 1) has anyone even confirmed that WSJ article about Sprint committing $20B? and 2) if it wasn't an exclusive for this 4S, there's no reason for Apple to cut out the two biggest US markets (Apple and Verizon) to make it a Sprint exclusive (especially a year or more into this supposed $20B deal).

It could be 4G finally tho. The timing is pushing it. If it comes out in June, that's especially tricky. However, if it comes out in October or later again, then it's much more likely. That's a combo btw Apple having time to fully testing the new combo LTE chip as well as Sprint's LTE rollout plan (Apple is gonna want Sprint to have as many locations LTE ready as possible).

You will be waiting at least a year.

IMO Apples not going rush out the 5 at all.

I would agree. No sense in pushing out a new (record sales) iPhone 4S to deploy a new one a few months later.
This model will work well into the holiday shopping season.

I hope to receive my new Sprint iPhone 4Gs tomorrow. I live in northwest Oklahoma, which Verizon does not serve, AT&T covers only spottily and with only one tower of 3G service, but Sprint covers the ENTIRE region, every square inch, with its 3G service. I know it isn't as fast as AT&T, but having something is better than having nothing.

You realize this was a baseless rumor put out by BGR to get as many hits to their site as possible. If you honestly believe this, you're going to be greatly disappointed.
