Actually, Siri will NOT work on the iPhone 4. And I know physically challenged people who are very excited about Siri (or used it prior to being bought by Apple) who wouldn't want to live without it - thus either have or will purchase the iPhone 4S.

technology=penis size. theres no real reason to buy an 80" tv other than bragging rights: look what I have.
i hate to be so blunt but thats what it boils down to. peer pressure and fashion shape more purchases, especially in tech, than anyone cares to admit. theres no real reason to buy a kindle 4 if youve got a kindle 3 but plenty of people tripped over themselves to do so.
maybe 1 in 10 actually care about specs. personally i like to know what something can do now right out of the box rather than what the specs say it can theoretically do.

Ouch! So not always true. That's like saying every guy with a sports car is trying to compensate for his [small] penis. Not really the case at all.
