Question for iPhone peeps, ideally ones who have had both the 4S and 5

[DaveShoelace]

My phone is on its way out. I'm not that arsed about an iPhone 5, but my missus did show me one feature I liked (she has one) which is the fact she can dictate text messages and the voice recognition software is really accurate.

I quite fancy that because it means I can do sum well gud writin n that when I'm on walking aboot.

Anyhoo, my questions are:

1) Do they also have this feature on the iPhone 4S?
2) Is it any different in quality between 4S and 5 if so? I heard the early version of Siri wasn't so great.

cheers

btw I don't mean Siri itself here, I mean the bit where there is a microphone button on the keyboard in the message/notepad sections

The 4S and 5 run the same software so should not be any difference.  The 5 has a larger screen, better camera and faster processor otherwise I believe it to be pretty much the same.

Just checked my 4S and the microphone button is there on the keyboard but I have never used it.

Have 4S keep turning down the free 5. Its too big imo 4 fits perfectly in my hand.

I caved and got an iPhone 5.

I actually really wanted a 4S for the same reason Flushy said, but the price difference for the tariffs was so small I had to go with the newer one, especially because this '4G' thing is happening soon.

Was thinking of just getting as all my docks accessories for my 4 will fit 4 s and not 5 !!

Why upgrade at all? it's not compulsory, and the new phone isn't free. you can keep your old phone and negotiate a 'sim only' contract which will cost you less than 50% of what you're paying now.

Unless there is something I really want, I never upgrade my phone just because the contract term has expired. That's the point when I have the most negotiating power.

I agree with this, my phone had been out of contract for three years and its about to die. Only reason I am getting the newest one is because I want to go a long ass time before getting the next one.
