iPhone 5 – absolute number one in terms of design, longer display, beautiful back, super thin, light phone, I don't regret the investment and I wouldn't take the 4S back for anything, even though it's not a big leap in terms of hardware, but when I see it now, it feels like a terrible brick.
Looking forward to the ip6 design!

The bigger jump was iphone 3g–3gs/4–4s
Raywen
or 3gs–4. That was quite a change
That information about the different versions of SIM cards reminded me of when I was still putting a classic SIM card the size of a credit card into my phone :-) Haha, those were the phones back then. My children laugh at them the same way I laugh when I see an old American movie where cell phones were like 3 bricks joined together.
…reminded…
igin
right, over the air :D
I started with the Nokia 3310, and it was awesome then, color displays came later and Java games were a revolution
or when there was a 1-line display and a 2-line display or sms, later mms
and then he came iphone and the world became more beautiful

Can you elaborate on the differences between iPhonem 4 and 4S? I'll then do the same between 4S and 5.
