Upgrading to iPhone 3GS: how you responded

26.06.2009

But don't get the impression that all iPhone 3G owners were sitting this one out. Forum member bumped up a 16GB 3G model to the 32GB 3GS:

I'm looking for the speed boost mostly. Next comes the extra 16GB. Finally, Voice Control. The rest of the features aren't very interesting to me. I'll probably use the camera/video recorder a bit but that wouldn't entice me to upgrade. I'm willing to pay the $200 premium for the early upgrade for the speed boost alone.

Not every 3G owner was that moved by the additional features. Forum member didn't qualify for the discounted iPhone price, so it's more time with the iPhone 3G. Which sounds like it's just as well:

Most of the features I have now in 3.0 upgrade of software. It is not worth it. Will wait for better deal in year when my two years are up (both carrier and price) and supposedly another major jump in phone at that time.

That touches on a couple common themes from the responses of people who don't plan to jump on the iPhone 3GS train. Many of our respondents whose AT&T contracts linger into 2010 figure that Apple will roll out another new model next summer, so why not wait it out? Other forum members are hopeful that whatever the future holds for the iPhone, it involves a choice in service providers. Says :
