Technology has me feeling really old lately. I need to step my game up. Was a decent programmer and hacker in the late 80's, but times have changed.

On the iphone.. I have a 4S 16GB.. My 2 years w/AT&T is up in a few weeks. Gazelle will give me $180 for the 4S 16GB. So, I figure I'll probably get a 5S 16GB for $200 and sell the old one to Gazelle.

I've heard Amazon pays a bit more (in Amazon.com credit, which is fine for me)... any other good options out there? I sold a phone to Gazelle before and they sent me a box in the mail.. made it really, really easy for me.

My biggest reason for getting a 5s is I'm hoping for overall speed/processing to be a bit faster, which supposedly it is. The rest of it.. blah blah mostly. I use the web, listen to some mp3's, check gmail and use a small number of free apps.

Need a good case for the 5s too. Have this leather-like cheap thing I bought for the 4s. It flips up to reveal the screen. (when it's closed it connects w/ a magnet.) LOVE IT and they're sold on ebay for about $5. Need to find something similar for 5s.

Amazon, Gazelle, and a direct trade-in with Apple are your best choices. But Apple pays the worst of the 3, so I'd stick with Gazelle or Amazon.

Biggest difference from 4S to 5S is screen size and speed. Its a 4G phone (faster network) and has a much faster processor. Screen size is 4 inches on the 5/5S vs. 3.5 inches on the 4S

I just sold my old 3GS 16GB for $26 a few days ago.  Couldn't believe I still had it laying around and that someone would actually pay for it.  By the way, Gazelle only offered $10 for it, but when I went through the Apple site, the company they work with gave me $26.  You might want to see if you can get more.  I had to include the charger and the USB cord as well.

brewcity will chime in shortly. He's getting in a few games of angry birds and a catching up on 2 broke girls.

This whole schtick really isn't working for you. I suggest a new gimmick.

As long as you have an iphone5 it is great. Lots of improvements. Control Center, improved multi-tasking and new camera functions are outstanding.

I wouldn't upgrade on a 4 or 4s as some of the new functions won't work anyway.

If it's going to be used on the job - the iPhone 5 is a must have. If you do upgrade your 4 or 4s, I'd wait til 7.01 comes out to do it. That way most of the bugs are worked out.

iOS5 was brutal when it came out if you used Outlook Exchange on the job. Accepting meetings on the phone would destroy your calendar on the PC and Microsoft and apple blamed each other for 6 months before it was patched. Haven't seen any such problems with iOS7 despite Chico's story (not saying it isn't true).

Works great on a 4s. Most of the changes are present. Very snappy OS as well. It is a definite upgrade must for a 4s.
I'm holding out until next year for the iPhone 6, which should have bigger memory options and a bigger screen.
Maybe I'll get an iPad this fall once I see the new ones in October.

Updated my iPad2 today, took about 1.5 hours and that was on a 64GB unit with plenty of space to spare.

Overall, not real crazy about the look, but maybe it will grow on me.  Don't notice any performance issues, though it did reset my ESPN Live app settings which was not cool.

I put iOS 7 on my 4s. I'm fine with it. Calendar is wonky. Changed a couple of things (background auto refresh of apps... removed the motion weirdness thing)... and it's fine. Will probably get the 5s in a few weeks.

Exact same.  Also, I listen to lots of podcasts, so I'm hoping for some improvement in management of those.

On the iPad, had to dump some music to download (I have a 32; mistake).  Haven't played much with it, but seems pretty harmless

Has anyone else heard the rumor that the next generation iPad is coming out October 15?  I've always been an Android fan, but I won a $500 Apple gift card from a Chicago tv station, so I thought it might be time to retire my 2 year old Galaxy Tab 2 tablet for an iPad.  In doing research I came across some people saying the newest, latest & greatest version is coming out 10/15, 25% thinner and lighter than current one, and twice as fast.  Also read that due to the current competition they may lower the price by $100, ie get the 32gb for the price of the current 16gb.

Sell the gift card for $400 and buy a Nexus 7 and pocket the difference. Win win.

Been thinking about something like that.  I also have a Galaxy S3 and a Nook Tablet hacked to also run Android, so I thought an iPad would give me access to Apple apps that I can't use now.

How do you get rid of the "motion weirdness thing?"

Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion - TURN ON.

Reduce Motion - "Reduce the motion of the user interface, including the parallax effect of icons and alerts (i.e., the motion weirdness thing)"

Yes, sometime in October they are supposed to announce the new ipads.  I think you gotta go with either Android or Apple and just stick with it. Apple offering the fee iworks apps that work well in on icloud will be a nice selling point.  Easier to use than Google's versions.
