SimonG: You mean like we've became overly depenend on electricity, cars, antibiotics? All extremely creepy high tech when it came out.

BoxOfSnoo: I'm not committed, but leaning heavily towards getting one. I have an iPhone 4 at the moment...

Factors
- LTE - This will be a big deal for me. My iPhone is all about data
- More screen (I'm not one that needs it that desperately, I like the compactness of my 4. I like how they did it though, I imagine landscape is probably miles better for typing)
- Nicer screen - though my 4 screen is still gorgeous.
- A6 chip (need speed)
- (slightly) better battery
- HD voice - if supported
- much nicer camera (and quite a bit of DSP to back it up). We'll see how this plays out in practice. Not as good as the Lumia 920 of course but I don't want to buy into that platform.
- dual band wifi - because 5GHz rox in an apartment complex.

If I had a 4S it wouldn't be all that worth it. All those things above are pretty compelling though.

wpegg: While I wouldn't want to sway your opinion in any way, I think some of those requirements contradict. If you're going to be using LTE, your slightly better battery will be a hell of a lot better at running out, and your faster chip will be processing a lot more data. Same goes for the wifi. I've read that one of the main costs to battery and processor is the switch between a 4G (or what is now called 4G) and a 3G signal, the same for going from 3G down to 2G.
