But I must say the iPhone 4s still performs better than many Android smartphones that have been introduced much later. And I must say I can clearly see the progress Apple has made in improving the camera on its iPhones. But the phone suffers a lot in low-light and comparing the iPhone 4s and iPhone 12 is like comparing two different planets. There are some shortcomings of using a small-screen phone: the small form factor means the iPhone 4s has a smaller battery, which translates to not-so-great battery life.
My phone lasted about four and a half hours before it died completely. So yes, your fear of using a compact phone is right. You are choosing a small form factor over long battery life.
Maybe that is why most smartphone makers including Apple, stopped making compact phones. It depends. I bought the iPhone 4s solely for nostalgia. But I can always use the iPhone 4s as a secondary phone. Click here to join our channel indianexpress and stay updated with the latest headlines. Anuj Bhatia Here is our verdict. A one-handed iPhone The moment I picked up the iPhone 4s, it reminded me of the era when phones were small in size. Siri may not be finished yet, but it already feels like something straight out of science fiction.
The final piece of the iPhone 4S puzzle is iCloud. While not strictly a service just for the new iPhone, iCloud is being introduced along with iOS 5. So what does iCloud do exactly?
Well for starters, it does pretty much everything MobileMe did before it — meaning web-based email, contacts, and calendar. Those three services will also sync to your devices. But iCloud does a lot more than that. The service promises to keep your photos, music, and settings synced across devices, using the iCloud servers as a way point and container for most but not all of your content.
All of that content is beamed up to the cloud, and then back down to your phone, iPod touch, or iPad. Essentially, this is a rather static service which is constantly moving your content from your devices, up into the cloud, and back down to devices. In its current state, it works quite well, though there are some catches in the service that you should probably make a note of. Secondly, the way iCloud handles your photos is that it will keep photos in the cloud for up to 30 days. If you go beyond , or past 30 days, you start to lose your content unless you move it to a device say your laptop or to a folder in your Camera Roll.
Once your pics have uploaded to Photo Stream, you have no way to delete individual photos. By the end of October, Apple will introduce one more component to its iCloud offerings, which is iTunes Match.
In all, the basic iCloud service which is free should go a long way to simplifying the experience of moving content to and from devices. This is the easy part, kind of. If you're an owner of an older iPhone, or someone looking to switch to an iPhone from a different platform, there's never been a better Apple device to buy.
The iPhone 4S is an astoundingly good phone. Between the hardware both inside and out and the software iOS 5 as well as third party offerings , it's just kind of an awesome package. The lack of LTE, a larger display, or a new design may put off some buyers, but that won't change the fact that the 4S is a force to be reckoned with. It's not exactly the same story as with the release of the iPhone 4, where you felt like competitors had to go back to the drawing board completely, but Android and Windows Phone device makers will certainly be scratching their heads trying to figure out how to best what Apple is offering.
The iPhone 4S is a great device for some, but what if you're thinking of upgrading from an iPhone 4? That's a tougher call. The phone is faster, to be sure, and has an amazing camera.
And of course, you can't get Siri unless you have a 4S The concept is a particularly hard sell for Verizon customers. The gap between this year's model and last year's model isn't as wide as Apple would probably like.
For this review, I returned to the iPhone after a fairly long period of using and testing other devices. Spending a week with Apple's newest phone, I'm reminded again of just what makes the company's products so special. It's not specs, services, or apps. This phone is not perfect. Certainly it can be improved. But there is something here, beyond the screen and CPU, beyond iCloud, something under the surface.
Some intangible spark. Is this the best phone ever made? That's debatable. But I can tell you this: the iPhone 4S is pretty damn cool.

Displaying of 1, reviews. The iPhone 4s what definitely Apple's most brilliant creation ever. This is the phone that raised the bar to entirely new levels. Maybe even levels that they themselves wont ever be able to reach.
With the sleek, eye grasping style and the new addition of Siri, this phone blasted itself miles ahead of its rivals. And as it did this, it took our expectations with it. The 4s has definitely made Apple what it is today. This phone runs very smooth and is probably the most user friendly device out there. It's very comfortable to hold and fun to use. And on top of that, you get reception nearly everywhere. I can't remember the last time that I haven't had service.
Now that the 5 has been out for awhile and the 5s and 5c have been revealed, I can compare the 4s to what was supposed to make it a thing of the past. Let me put it like this. If someone were to lay the 4s, the 5, and the 5s and 5c in front of me and give me a choice as to which one I would take, I would take the 4s.
This phone is still, in my opinion, the best phone out there. I have used the 5 and it doesn't have the same feel as the 4s and I assume that the 5s is going to be the same way. Is this review helpful? Nice phone. The brand says it all. Nice phone with lots of features.
Liked the Siri and the touch interface is very smooth. Lots of free apps on App Store is available. It doesn't hang As a whole a nice phone. The best ever made.
