Apple iPhone 4S review: Fast 4ward

21 October 2011
The last thing you need is one that looks exactly like your ex. On a second thought, it's too early perhaps to end it. You two did look great together, your iPhone 4 and you. In fact you still do. iPhone 4S owners, this is between you and your phone's inner voice - Siri. iPhone 4 owners, this...

Biggest problem is the screen. It Is now at 4.65" super AMOLED HD.

also. now Steve jobs is dead maybe apple can move past his personal issues with adore and GET FLASH.

Then it would be a great phone.

            Only in Apple-world is a triple-click and tap-and-hold-for-2-seconds considered good UI design, lol

              Also, GSMarena, you are the first of many reviews to state that 4S camera is better than GSII and even N9. 4S sensor is tiny compared to N9's. GSII is much better in dark and light. Biased much?

                Hey you GSMArena guys, I'll love your reviews and put a lot of faith in them, I never buy a phone without checking it on your page first! I have a request, though: what about a shootout between the 4S and the N9? A chance on that?

                  mrx, 21 Oct 2011Considering that Siri is based server-side computing and no... moreWatch as that is probably what is going to happen

                    Considering that Siri is based server-side computing and not some magical iphone 4s hardware, I'd be extremely pissed at Apple for blocking all older iphones from the service.

                      Mr Bluesman, 21 Oct 2011Does Nokia N8 is still the king in photography department? And why wouldn't it be? Did Apple figure out a way to defy laws of physics with their tiny sensor that Samsung and others couldn't figure out before?

                            [deleted post]I saw this one coming based on the benchmarks of the iPad 2. The iPad 2's A5 blew past the rest of the pack and I am not surprised to see the results replicated on the 4S. If the A6 continues this trend then expect the iPhone 5 to have better benchmarks than the top 'droids, again.

                              Ok. I am impressed with the 4s' browser, audio output and camera. But I still can't force myself to buy a overpriced, fragile and over rated (it is great, but still over rated IMO) product like an iPhone (and other Apple products).

                                        Rumors has it that the real iPhone 5 was supposed to come out with the 4S but was met with production difficulties so they will launch it with the iPad 3 instead.
