You're assuming wrong.
I have a "4G" phone with AT&T and I cap out at around 8MB.
I've seen Verizon 4G phones hit an upwards of high 20's, low 30's.


Also, Apple isn't ahead of the game anymore, they're behind.
dual core processor?
There's been Motorola dual cores since Feb.
The Galaxy S-II is just icing on the cake.
However I need an iTouch for all my apps I bought while being an Apple user...

My HSDPA on my HTC Sensation (No 4G in the UK) Hits 11Mbps. '4G' is a general term which is linked to connection speed of up to 100Mbps, not a particular technology. So what you are getting in 4G the majority of the time is likely just HSDPA/HSPA+ or a similar competing technology just using a different frequency.

And it's naive to think that they're behind the times in processor technology just because they don't have more than two cores. The 4S will boast better battery life and better performance as everything is optimised together, i.e. they don't use different hardware and software overlays like Android phones do. Even the Google branded phones don't have this as they are made by third party manufacturers, just with the newest version of android (Such as the HTC Nexus one and Samsung Nexus S)
 
My friend told me to watch the iPhone 4S video and something caught me so much is the gyro-camera. It simply just stabilise your video so it wouldn't look shaky. An awesome feature for a phone camera!

That's incorrect. 4G uses different technology standards. To be certified as 4G the underlying technology has to be able to reach peak speeds of 100Mb/s+, 3G technology like HSPA+ does not reach 100mb/s.

The people who have made it a general term are the phone manufactures. Who are wrong.

Don't forget the cellular providers too.

I was kind of disappointed by the announcement. I kind of wanted true 4G capability despite not really having a 4G network in the US. I want to be able to use my phone on 4G if I travel or when we have 4G networks widely available.

However, I would say, I'm on a 3GS now, but my contract's been over for half a year or so already and I'm still paying the full monthly plan rate. It doesn't make sense for me to stay on the 3GS, since whether I'm on contract or not, I'm still going to pay that monthly rate. I think I'll upgrade to the 4GS, I'm not going to wait another year for the iPhone 5.

I will however, consider going to an Android phone in the meantime. I'll have to think about it and see if there's anyone I particularly like.
