Apple iPhone 4S - 64GB - white (Verizon Wireless) price range: $579.00
- Reviewed by: Kent German
- Reviewed on: 10/13/2011
- Released on: 10/14/2011
The good: Apple's iPhone 4S has a faster processor and an upgraded camera, all the benefits of iOS 5, and a useful and immensely fun voice assistant. Call quality on the Sprint model is admirable, and the data speeds, while certainly not 4G, get the job done.
The bad: It's about time we get a larger screen.
The bottom line: The iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade.

Better than my old Android (HTC Incredible)
by jlphilli on December 15, 2011
Pros: -The #1 pro for me is IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY (issues with previous Android phone)
-Very responsive screen
-Screen resolution
-More user friendly
-More apps/games
-Siri. I actually find it very useful (reminders, calling/text, and finding restaurants)Cons: -No flash support (although I haven't been inconvenienced yet...)
-Camera sucks when taking pictures in dark lighting
-No zoom on videoSummary: The main reason I like this phone so much is because of how well it just PLAIN WORKS! The reason I think this is a big deal for a smartphone ...
Summary: The main reason I like this phone so much is because of how well it just PLAIN WORKS! The reason I think this is a big deal for a smartphone is because of the issues I experienced with my previous phone, the HTC Incredible. Issues I experienced were: 1.) my face hanging up on people (I heard this had to do with the HTC sense software?), 2.) my screen would "lose control" and randomly flip through the home-screens, 3.) overheating/shutting off randomly, and 4.) lack of games. I had to replace the phone twice...I have never had any problems with the iPhone 4s. My Fiance has a Motorola Droid X and has 2 of those problems as well, and his phone is rooted.
I forgot to mention the battery life is pretty amazing. I can play games/listen to music all day and I only charge it once every two days. I would have to charge my old phone twice daily.
I must say that in the past I was against all of the Apple "hype" and chose to go with Android for my first smartphone.
Unfortunately, I think by having too many phones and perhaps too many different Android versions out there, they aren't able to update them all in an organized manner and are left with some that are glitchy and don't work well at all. Of course, that is just my opinion.
Other PROS:
-I like being able to organize my music on iTunes. Despite previous comments, you CAN drag and drop songs into this from any library...
-Elaboration on user friendliness: If you're like me and you don't like to spend hours on your phone customizing widgets after every download and you would rather just have a nice clean looking UI, I think the iPhone is for you. I like that everything is uniform and clean looking, and that you can place your apps into unobtrusive folders. I also like that if you want to delete an app, all you have to do is simple delete the icon. You don't have to go through five hoops just to delete it and then wonder why it's still running in your background...
-iCloud: Really nice to instantly have your pictures on your home computer (even if you have a PC) right after you take them...don't have to worry about downloading them from your phone.
Other CONS:
-Sometimes Siri doesn't work. There are occasions where it(?) just says, "I'm sorry, I can't process your request right now," and you want to yell obscenities at it(?) instead. Not sure if this is a carrier service thing, or if it's the center where the info is processed (overload).
-Doesn't come with free navigation, although I found an app (MapQuest) that offers it for free. It's not the best, but it works.

Overall a good smart phone, but not great camera.
by moonmv on November 3, 2011
Pros: I really enjoy all the iPhone 4S has to offer.
Cons: I won't be getting rid of my Canon Elph camera or my Flip Camcorder soon, both of these out-perform these functions on the iPhone. For example, it is very difficult to take a good picture of a moving subject. In order for Siri to work you have to ask ver

Verizon works fine for me.

Great for my first iPhone
by slugrex on October 15, 2011
Pros: Stable OS; Finally enough gbs for all my music; beautiful screen; speedy browser; and the BEST is the battery life.
Cons: Still no way to assign different tones to different email accounts. COME ON, this is critical, CRITICAL, if you use multiple email accounts.
Summary: I'm not sure if this is worth it if you already have the 4, but definitely a great phone.

Summary: After 3 attempts (the last one successful- a whole year) at taking care of an iPhone 3G, I was ready to make the leap. I am glad I did! Unlike the above reviewer, if you are ready for the 4 (and you put it off till now) get the 4G.

Summary: 1st phone I got in Dec 2011 would loose 3g and I had to power down to get it back - it also entirely locked up and I had to do a hard restart to be able to do ANYthing with the phone ... so I went into the apple store Feb 2012 and they very nicely gave me a new phone. you would think everything would be nice now ... NO WAY this phone locks the contacts- they wont scroll or allow me to go from group to group. This morning I couldnt find my phone so I tried to call it ... it rang and went to my voice mail but the phone NEVER rang ... when I located the phone it wouldn't even turn on so I plugged it into my computer - it has 85% battery so WHY wouldn't it turn on or ring ??? after I located the phone and plugged it in to my computer I tried to call it again - no ring - no missed call so here it is 9 days after the 2nd NEW 4S and it is worse than the 1st one. Siri really does not "get it" much of the time. I'm referred to the apple store to get yet another one??? NOT happy with this phone at all!

Specifications
- Manufacturer: Apple
- Part number: iPhone4S64GBWhite
- Description: iPhone 4S picks up where amazing left off. It's the fastest, most powerful iPhone ever. It features an 8-megapixel camera with all-new optics. It records stunning 1080p HD video. It comes with iOS 5 and iCloud. And it's the only phone with Siri - your intelligent assistant that helps you get things done, just by using your voice. Now you can use your voice to use your iPhone. Just talk to Siri as you would to a person: "Do I need an umbrella? " or "Any great burgers around here? " or "Where's the closest ATM? " Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes phone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, and more. How much more? Just ask, and Siri tells you that, too. Two cores in the A5 chip deliver up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics. And you'll feel the effects. Fast. iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when you're launching apps, browsing the web, gaming, and doing just about everything. And no matter what you're doing, you can keep on doing it. Because the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life. This just might be the best camera ever on a phone. And with all-new optics, it just might be the only camera you need. Because behind every shot, you've got 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should. And just wait until you see the photos. The iPhone 4S camera gives you 8 megapixels - that's 60 percent more pixels than the camera on iPhone 4. And they're engineered with a higher, full-well capacity to collect even more light. With more megapixels and more light, you'll see a dramatic difference in the resolution and details of your images. Shoot stunning 1080p HD video everywhere you go. With all-new optics, the light is always right, the color is always vivid, and everything will look even better than you remember. Video stabilization steadies shaky shots. And you can edit video right on iPhone and share your lush life as fast as you shoot. Record amazing 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second. The advanced backside illumination sensor and larger aperture let in even more light. Improved auto white balance makes color even more accurate. And temporal noise reduction helps you take great videos in low light. With every iOS advancement come even easier ways to do everything. That's what makes iOS years ahead of anything else. iOS 5 leaps even further ahead, bringing over 200 new features to iPhone 4S. iCloud is the easiest way to manage all your stuff, because it manages it all for you. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents, and more. And wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. It's automatic, effortless, and seamless. And it just works. With iCloud, the music you buy in iTunes appears automatically on all your devices. You can also download your past iTunes purchases. So your music collection goes where you go. The sharpest, most vibrant thing you'll see on iPhone 4S is everything. The Retina display is the highest-resolution phone screen ever. In fact, the pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. But without a doubt, you'll notice crisp text, sharp graphics, and stunning images. It's more remarkable than the printed page. And you'll be completely absorbed. FaceTime lets you hear a voice and see the face that goes with it - iPhone to iPhone, iPad 2, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi.5 So no matter where they are, no matter where you are, you'll always be there. Making a FaceTime call is just as easy as making a phone call. And it's even easier with Siri. Just tell Siri "FaceTime with Mom" and you show up, smile, and wave hello. You'll never miss a big event, an important meeting, or a good laugh. And who wouldn't be happy to see your face?
