MDG:With all due respect to Steve Jobs, the Apple iPhone 4S did NOT make a believer out of me. Maybe the iPhone 5 will put to shame nice devices like the Samsung Nexus S, the Galaxy S2 or the not-released Nexus Prime, but the 4S has some downsides or better to say it fails to impress as we expected.And we are going to show you what.
Apple ultimately decided to resolve these six-year-old court proceedings and agreed to pay $15 to each impacted iPhone 4s holder.
The Verge: All devices from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone X are impacted.
Fair play to them. On the ethical hacker side of things I would use the hack as leverage against Apple to continue to support their equipment. As they just dropped support for their iPad mini2’s etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, they work perfectly fine but are now blocked from receiving security updates etc. So the consumer is forced to purchase a new product that does the exact same thing.
Apple is on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled iPhone 4s owners. The suit, filed by Chaim Lerman and more than 100 others, alleges Apple's iOS 9 update severely degraded the smartphone's performance both in terms of third-party apps and core functionality.
The only positive things I have seen is the Siri thing (but in the UK apparently not working properly yet) apparently solves the antenna issues (which I never really found a problem with the iphone 4) and it is faster with bigger memory and now has a camera that can compete. Not really that great for an improvement considering a lot is standard now. The Iphone 4s is what the iphone 4 should have been like but was last year. A lot of other companies have stepped their game up since then
In short the 5 reasons are all but same...upcoming Android phones have Super HD resolution, 4.65" screen size, dual to quad core processors with dedicated GPU, at least 1 GB RAM...
This thing called 4s is here to stay for a year and in that time android phones are going to go to six core probably if they continue at the same pace.
The answer apple has come up with i.e 4S is not satisfactory at all. present day android phones and windows ones as well beat the hell out of 4S specs wise and in price-to-specs ratio...
You want more with your hard earned cash dont you ? That is why you should not get the 4S !
1 reason not to buy it: Nexus Prime.
The iPhone5, Galaxy S3 and Nexus Prime will all be out soon.
The battery comparison in this article is totally wrong. I am certain that the 4S has better than "14 Hours" of audio playback.
There are many compelling arguments for Android over iPhone, but I really don't think battery performance is one of them.
The hardware comparison is also moot when the 4S beats spec behemoths like the Galaxy S2 in benchmarks and real world performance.
Im crossing my fingers that ICS will tip the scale in Android's favour!
