    Are there upgrades for the 4 or has the 4s rendered the 4 a relic?

    thanks for your thoughts.

    The iPhone 4s ships with iOS5 (the new operating system) - iOS5 can be installed on the older iPhone 4.

    Hardware wise, the 4s has an updated camera, and a faster processor. It has the exact same screen.

    Currently the only major item that is not offered on the iPhone 4 that is present on the 4s is Siri the mobile assistant. This is not really a hardware issue as Siri ran fine on iPhone 4, it's being locked out by Apple in order to sell 4s.

    If you have a 4, unless you desperately want Siri, or want a better camera, or faster processor - the old 4 will work fine.

    thank you. i guess i was wondering of the value of siri and could it be installed?

    i could care less about the camera and the processor speed is fine enough for now.

    Wait! Lol keep your 4 and update it after they get all the bugs out of ios5. Sir I is just a gimmic to buy the new one. Just use Google voice search does just as much and it has been out for 3 years. Your hardware should be just fine for all future ios updates
