September 9th, 2013 11:53 PMSerene GraceI never really experienced the battery problem because I use WiFi at home and when I'm out, I tend to turn off 3G unless I'm actively using the internet on my phone. This makes the battery last around 7-12 hours for me, which is very good indeed. I recommend trying this out and seeing if there's any difference.
iOS7 is absolutely beautiful in my personal opinion and I feel opposite in terms of hardware capabilities. Apple have a great way of pushing updates to their mobile platforms with minimal hardware upgrades. While iOS7 may need more processing power, it also comes with new technology that tries to use as little processing power as possible and still improve battery life. The A5 chip in the 4S should be more than capable of handling iOS7 with ease. It may be a different story with the iPhone 4, however, which I believe will start to feel the strain from the upgrade.
Is the new iPhone going to be different? I'm not too sure. Apple are unpredictable as hell - one of the reasons I'm particularly fond of them from a design and decision making point of view. On one hand, it would be safe to make things look similar but have the next iPhone have improved functionality (as is the pattern with 4 and 4S). The design overhaul would have been with the 5 and the improved insides would be the next one or "5S" as people are calling it. To me, the 5 is beautiful anyway so if they don't change the design this year it's not going to stop me from getting the next iPhone. A radical change of design is only a plus, really.
That being said, Apple is still a business and from a business point of view the smartphone market is in such a competitive state right now that maybe they can't afford to just overhaul the insides in order to attract more customers - hence the (justified to an extent) rumours of a cheaper iPhone "5S" being released alongside the new one. Same insides, OS, etc. it's just made out of plastic instead of glass and metal. For me, the whole point of having an iPhone is the premium materials that it's made out of - therefore I'll still rather get the other, more expensive, "5S". The cheaper model could prove to be a game breaker in the smartphone market, however, as it means anyone has access to an iPhone now. -
September 8th, 2013 2:22 PMRazgrizYeah... I know that it has something to do with the 3G/Facebook/Push notifications. A lot of people complain about how iOS 6.1.3 drains your battery :(
I'm not so happy about having to move to iOS 7 right away... I'm sure that it's going to slow down my 4S. Do you think that the new iPhone is going to be too different? I don't think so, I mean 4S and 5 are basically the same thing, my 4S works great. -
September 8th, 2013 12:23 PMSerene GraceTry turning on 3G only when you use the internet on your phone and closing the apps you don't use manually (double click the home button and hold down the apps until they start to wiggle) and it does make a difference - especially not having 3G on every time.

September 8th, 2013 11:26 AMRazgrizyeah, I always have the 3G on... I hope Apple fixes this soon, although I'm sure we are going to have to wait until iOS 7

September 8th, 2013 7:45 AMSerene GraceDo you always have 3G or 4G (mobile data) turned on?
-
September 7th, 2013 1:11 PMRazgrizI know it's because of the iOS but man... I hate it.

September 7th, 2013 1:11 PMRazgrizNiiiice man, I'm studying all day long.. except on weekends :D
Yeah, sometimes the phone heats up a lot and consumes a lot of battery, most of the time it doesn't warm up but the battery doesn't go down as it does when I turn it off and on. I'm talking about 30% in 2 hours... -
September 7th, 2013 9:10 AMSerene GraceHaha, I move into university so I'm using these last few weeks left to relax before being plagued with studying :)
And yup (you meant 6.1.3 right?) I also have the 4S running the same OS - what's up with your battery life? -
September 7th, 2013 7:34 AMRazgrizI'm great! just studying a lot... :( but saturday is band´s day!! xD
How are you? Hey do you have an iPhone by any chance? I have the 4S and I'm struggling with the battery and iOS 6.3.1 -
September 7th, 2013 12:08 AMSerene GraceCrazily nuts! How are you, anyways?
-
September 6th, 2013 6:28 PMRazgrizhahaa I bet you are nuts about it xD
-
September 6th, 2013 9:18 AMSerene GraceAll set up and it's even better than I expected. I'm absolutely loving it!
And no worries - I think I'm one of the rarer technology fans who actually really likes both Windows and Apple! -
September 4th, 2013 4:57 PMRazgrizAwesome! I bet you can't wait xD I think I'm going for the Pro since I use apps like GarageBand and I may edit some vids as well... besides it looks better xD
btw, thank you for not being an ass like 99% of the people out there thinking that because they insult Apple you are going to change your mind -_-
Which one did you buy? -
September 4th, 2013 12:39 PMSerene GraceIt'll come in tomorrow morning and then I'll let you know how it is! No worries - any closer to making a decision yet? :)
