The 4GS looks just like the 4.

How will people know just by looking at my phone that I'm superior?

Those in the know will be able to tell. Trust me.

Strangers may not know, but hopefully you have already
established as known fact amongst your friends and acquaintances that
you always buy the latest iPhone the first day it hits the shelves.

The lens for the camera appears to look different since it has a wider
aperture.

The model number on the back should be different.

And you will be able to show how Siri works while us with antique 4
phones won't.

I was at a sales meeting last week and we had some new folks so we
introduced and told of one interesting fact about ourselves. One of
the new guys was introducing himself and said, "I'm a Mac guy."

There were a bunch of audible "What?"s and general looks of huh? did
he just say....? wtf?

Pretty funny. He's a good guy, but it was lame.

Having been a Mac user since they existed, I really don't get the
whole fanboi thing.

Nah. It's those who didn't get it who are the lamers. If you don't get
it, you don't get it. And if you ain't usin' a Mac, you don't get it
about *personal* computing.

If you would and could trade your Mac for a Windows PeeCee right now
and not notice the difference, you're not a fanboi. If, like most of
the world's 60+ million Mac users, you wouldn't switch for anything,
you're a fanboi.

If you use both, recognize the advantages of each over the other,
realize that Macs crash, lock up, suck at times, etc., etc., etc. you
have a reasonable perspective on "personal" computing.

...and you can look at someone who thinks being a Mac user is somehow
special and recognize lameness.

I used a MAC for a while, but there just wasn't enough software
written for it.

Hi. I'm the FNG.

Oh, I think you do, and there is no point expounding it.
