iPhone 3GS will be 3 years old when iOS 6 is released.
iPhone 4 will be 2 years old. It will only lack Siri, FaceTime over cellular network and support for 'Made for iPhone' hearing aids.
I wouldn't call that 'most features'.
- ThePherocity 14y agoiPad 1 released in 2010 (two years old) lacks all features. iPhone 4 lacks turn by turn navigation, 3D maps, Siri, and Facetime over cellular. So I get what with an iPhone 4? Passbook, Facebook, and a maps app that no longer tells me what train I can take? Im going to have to stick to the most features.
- aiscott 14y agoI agree, if we stick to "most new features", which I think was the unstated meaning. However, I like my iphone 4 post-keynote as much as I did pre-keynote. Which is to say, quite a lot.
- jkubicek 14y ago> So I get what with an iPhone 4? The ability to run apps targeting iOS 6 and above, which is arguably more important than everything else you listed.
- ThePherocity 14y agoAgreed.
- majormajor 14y agoWelp... Pogue's point is really proven now.
- Karunamon 14y agoThe problem is it's dickery, pure and simple. There is no technical reason those add ons can't run on the 4-non-S. I'm running a freaking Siri app from Cydia and it works just as well as the real thing. The battery life isn't reduced any appreciable amount, the phone isn't slower or more prone to running out of memory. Yes yes I know Apple doesn't owe people free upgrades. It still bugs me.
