Oh shhhh, I know, sure, there are tons of tech geeks out there who are getting their panties all in a bunch over the newest iPhone. We’ve read that many of the past failures of the iPhone have been upgraded: the call quality and antenna are better, the camera is great, and the screen looks awesome. However, most tech analysts are saying it’s not the best investment of the year, and here are a couple reasons why:

1) Upgrading signs you up for another full 2 years of AT&T’s crappy, overpriced service.

Assuming you’d rather not ditch your 2 year old iPhone and pay up to $500 or even $600 for an upgrade, you’re gonna have to sign up for another two years of service with AT&T, who has spotty coverage at times, despite whatever Luke Wilson tries to tell you.

2) It’s just an iPhone

If we’ve noticed anything about Apple, it’s that they are the King of small, unnecessary upgrades. Like, woo hoo! You made the iPod nano…. more… nano-ey! This is no exception: aside from a few minor changes, the iPhone 4 isn’t a mind-blowingly awesome upgrade.

3) Android is right on Apple’s tail

Actually, Gizmodo’s article listed both Android and the new Windows phone as legitimate competitors to the iPhone, but I hate hate HATE those new “Kin” commercials so I am going to spitefully leave Windows off the list. However, from friends with Droids — I can tell you that I’ve seen them struggle with their phones far less than my friends who swear by their iPhones. Also — the Droid works with Verizon who we all know has a big red map of coverage. Or something.
