One-third of Britons are 'disappointed' with iPhone 4S - and just 29 per cent plan to buy

Apple's iPhone 4S smashed sales records on its launch weekend, selling four million handsets around the world.

But now that the dust has settled, it appears that Britons aren't overly impressed with what the new handset has under the bonnet.
More than a third of Britons described themselves as 'disappointed' with the new iPhone in a survey polling people on the features of the new phone.

And a paltry 29 per cent of the clued-up phone fans surveyed said that they planned to upgrade to the new iPhone 4S
The most common reason for their disappointment was that they had 'expected more differences' from the new phone.
In the run-up to launch, many analysts had predicted a complete redesign for the best-selling handset, and other hi-tech features. 
The poll, of 1,687 people familiar with the handset, found that 64 per cent of disappointed fans wanted more features.

Another 27 per cent had been hoping for a total redesign - the promised 'iPhone 5' that now seems likely to launch next year.
Fans seemed to like the new Siri voice-control best out of iPhone 4S's new functions. Others were impressed with the new camera.

The survey, carried out by website MyVoucherCodes, found that of the 71 per cent who said they did not plan to upgrade to an iPhone 4S, 48 per cent said they were planning to switch to Blackberry whilst 37 per cent were thinking of changing to an Android phone.
