Apple iPhone 2 - Will Anybody Be "Upgrading"?

Post by Myrm » Tue Jun 10, 2008 4:06 pm

Hi

I purchased the Apple iPhone (16GB) in March of this year and was feeling pretty sick when I saw that the iPhone 2 is being released in July. That was until I read what it has to offer; basically very little extra in comparison to the iPhone 1, particularly when bearing mind that the iPhone 1 software is being updated this month to version 2, which will give you all the software benefits of the new iPhone - for free. So once I have updated the software on my iPhone 1, I see very little reason to "upgrade" to iPhone 2.0 as it will more or less have the same functions, except for it is slightly slimmer, will have GPS, and has 3G - meaning faster internet access. However, I consider the 2G speeds with the iPhone 1 to be totally adequate for my needs.

So, will any of you iPhone 1 users be "upgrading" to iPhone 2?

I have been thinking about it, now that the cost is lower, its faster, and has a built in GPS. But you still need to sign up for a phone plan that is more than twice what I am paying now.
