It has a dual core processor, dual core graphics and is available in 64GB. It also has an 8 megapixel camera capable of recording in 1080p at 30fps.
I would read this iPhone 4S over iPhone 4: Should I stay or should I go? - GSMArena.com gsmarena is usually accurate and my choice for any mobile device specs

if you already have an iphone 4 its not a huge upgrade as opposed to somebody that still has a 3gs.
if you google it you will probably get a faster more complete list of differences between the two devices.

nothing! one you cant jb two the camera has 3 moRE mega pixel the ip4 camera is good enough .do i think wasting an upgrade for two yrs is worth it absolutely noT if you have the money to spare than okay but if your like most of us, way to much to buy without ct personally im waiting for ip5 . besides all that i cant see myself upgradling to have a phone thAT looks the same it was a money move by apple why put out a 5 when they can make billions of a 4s.wait for 5 my opinion. ALSO with a four siri appears to b close to available thru cydia .HAYB!

As stated, it all depends on what phone you currently have.
If you have a 3Gs, then I personaly would say yes.... if you have a iPhone 4 then it is pretty pointless to upgrade and just wait for the ip 5.

I have paid for my iPhone so I will jailbreak it if Apple like it or not.

my whole reason was the camera.....if you use your phone as your primary camera,the 4s is awsome....the faster processer and faster shutteer speed with the updated componants....make for some sweet sweet shots
my 4 did everything else i needed it to....just the camera was that important to me
cant wait to free my phone with the jailbreak next week

ummm yeah, there is no release date on the jailbreak cause we just found out today that the only way the devs were able to achieve a jailbreak on A5 devices was with a dev account so either we will never see a jailbreak on the 4s or it could be however long it takes for them to find an exploit that does not require a dev account

I still have a year to go on my 3GS b4 my upgrade is due, I'm not sure if I'm going to splurge on the 4, or 4s myself.
It probably would be the 4 if anything, cause the 4s can't be jail broken. or I may wait for the iPhone 5, but then again it will probably take forever for the IP5 to be jailbroken too, lol.

I am also quite happy with my iPhone 4 16GB to be honest but I agree people who use their mobile phones primarily as a camera it is a worthy upgrade to the iPhone 4S. Since I am not a camera or a photography maniac I will shun the 4S and upgrade to the iPhone 5 instead!

Most definitely worth it to update to it. Only listen to those who actually have the 4S and can give an accurate opinion, not those who never even owned one.

I'm still very happy with my 4 but am due for an upgrade so I'll get the 32gb 4S and sell it. With the proceeds I'll get another iPad 2, maybe 32gb wifi model. I'm always chasing members of the family trying to get my jacked iPad off them so 2 would keep the peace and maybe even save the marriage....

If it's time to renew your contract then I'd say yes. Siri is AWESOME!

if you cant live without jb apps and tweaks (w/c are awesome!) then ip4 is just fine.
if you can live without jbreak and on a contract renewal and you feel you must have the latest but BORING ip4s then by all means go ahead. if you have unlimited data plan then siri would be useful that is if you would even use it at all. the only reason i think of getting one for myself is for the laughs siri gives. but actually day to day use i think im not the kindda person who talks alot with his phone. if i needed something id click it if i needed real help id ask my friends
