What? No they aren't.

3G to 3GS upgrades:
-32GB version available
-ARM Cortex A8 (from ARM 1176JZ(F)-S - 188MHz upgrade
-New GPU (47MHz faster)
-128MB more DRAM
-Faster 3G connection
-Voice control
-Magnetometer
-3.0 MP camera (from 2.0)

4 to 4S upgrades:
-64GB version available
-1GHz A4 to 1GHz Dual-core A5
-New GPU
-Faster connection
-Siri
-8.0MP camera (from 5.0)

Essentially, both times, it was massive specs upgrades. Both times they got better CPUs and GPUs, as well as double the originally available storage.

Yeah... Software upgrades. Specs = Software, correct?

No...

Software = programming. That's why it's called "soft"ware - it's not tangible, or "hard".

Specs = hardware. Because they're physical. Hard.

Whenever I was talking about specs I thought of it as Software. Because I thought Hardware was the appearance and display and such.

So yeah, I knew what you were talking about. The only difference between the 'S's' is the innerds.

Hardware is anything that can be touched. That goes as far as a processor or RAM chip. Since specifications are determined 100% by the processors or other semiconductors, they fit as "hardware".

Software is anything that is digital, coding-based.

Yes, I know that now, thank you.

I'm not exactly a big apple fan, but the OP has got it totally wrong. The software is where the innovation is found and the hardware gets more powerful with each phone.

The new iPhone is going to change, it will be taller sporting a 4" screen.

Other evolution:

Some of my mobile devices are in that list. Like my first mobile the Nokia 3310, first s40 Nokia 6100, first s60 Nokia 6630, first WM HTC Touch. Lately been thinking on going retro and have a phone that can hold charge more than a day.

Lesson:

You can always improve on imperfection, but you can't innovate beyond perfection

“The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.” - Bertrand Russell
