Gotta love how everyone is saying very little has changed from the 4 to the 4s even though everything except the look has. 1.New OS 2.Siri 3.Double the CPU 4.Double the RAM 5.Much improved cam 6.Major antenna redesign. Literally the only thing that the same is the outer shell.
I just got my iPhone 4s 2 days ago and I am very satisfied with it. It doesn't have higher specs as the other phones do but it does run much much smoother then any other phone I've used in my life. Specs don't make the phone the user experience does. And by far using the iPhone 4s is a joy
Good review, I'm coming from a 4 (1st batch) to the 4s and the call quality alone makes it worth it not to mention the smoother/faster browsing and better camera quality. Although not so obvious now.. It's in a different class. This will become even clearer as developers catch up with the A5
Definitely a worthy upgrade for me coming off a 3GS on a two year contract. Thankfully got my 4S on an 18 month contract so hopefully I won't have too long to wait at the end of my contract for the next iPhone.
i agree, from the 4 to the 4s not much has changed, but from something else... it is worth som attention. may not have å bigger screen but for me at least the screen size is just right, love the design, very minimalistic jet elegant and classy
Got the 3gs. Live in europe, just ordered the 4s. I'm used to get the 's' versions even if i hoped for the 5 comin' out. But well, let's w8 for it ;) Thanx for the review, great vid!
Good video as always! I currently have an iPhone 4 but will be upgrading to an iPhone 4S as I extensively use the camera. I also want to switch from black to white and am using this as an opportunity to do so.
You look at Siri as a novelty? I've been using it a ton. Very helpful. Especially for driving. Reading my texts, responding, playing music etc. Outside of that settings reminders, alarms, events, and checking the weather at home is so helpful.
I have the 3G and im planning on a new iphone before summer 2012. But when does the iphone 5 release? Should i get the iphone 4s or should i wait for the iphone 5.
siri seems like a worthwhile thing for me personally. ever since i saw your siri the comedian video i've been entranced because AI has always fascinated me. to have something that complex built into my phone would be amazing for me
This video changed my mind about buying an iPhone 4S. But the only reason I'm going to buy an iPhone 4S is because I'm getting it for Verizon, and I'll have the best iPhone out. Nice review Jon.
would you recommend me getting the iphone 4s or getting the samsung galaxy s2. i guess i've been using ios for a few years now, and im just looking for a change. are there sufficient apps on the android market? and is android more customisable than the iphone? and in addition, do you think that 16 gb is enough for general use? im not looking to be a heavy app user. thanks in advance :)
I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with everything you just said, Jon. my only question was battery life and you addressed that. I'll be going with the Galaxy S II this year.
I have a quite old blackberry 8520 and I dont know if buying the iPhone 4 or the 4s. I would have to buy them unlocked so it's expensive and the extra 100 bucks it's quite a bit. So which one do you guys recommend?
Whether or not you use Siri is subjective. I've been using it so much for creating reminders and calendar events- tasks that take far longer to do manually than by just letting Siri do it. Its just so natural to use, you don't need to remember specific voice commands. It's really helpful, for me at least.
I have the iPhone 4s with sprint, and when it notifies me of a new txt message, it displays a black bubble instead of the usual blue one. Is this just with sprint or each iPhone?
i wanted to ask you a question, i live in egypt so siri is gonna be way more limitid in here for sure, i have a broken iphone 3g, i have enough budget to buy either the 4s or ipad 2. i am a college student and a business man so both devices can be pretty handy...if i buy the 4s for 700 dollars will i be able to use it in egypt "unlock" ? ipad 2 or 4s which one do you recommend ?
Siri is a great added feature that will get better as the functionality is expanded. It is awesome when you receive a text while you are driving. It can read the incoming text and you can reply all hands free.
1. unless its hot for a prolonged period of time, it won't damage the phone. in fact it turns off if it overheats i believe. 2. if you charge it and it gets hot, you might want to take it to the apple store 3. it's ok to use it while its charging 4. the iphone is not tough at all. it's made out of all glass, and if you drop it without a case, it will shatter and you will have to get the glass replaced which can cost up to 100 dollars for a back and a front replacement glass
im on verizon and i currently have the over 2 year old BB Tour, should i get the iPhone 4S or wait for the Galaxy Nexus Prime (i know it hasnt been confirmed for Verizon, but since it has LTE, im almost positive they will carry it).
I watched a number of phone reviews before i came here.. Nokia Lumia - HTC's and Samsung etc.... and somehow when i watched this video i felt very happy its like moving 5 years a head of those guys, i mean nothing wrong with the others but this is just in a completely different league !!
i know this might be a silly question, but my contract isnt up until next june and i want to get the 4s., i have the 4.but im not sure if i want to upgrade to the 4s or just wait until the 5. please help
I have a serious question not fanboy wars please. But i have the galaxy s2 atm and its time for an upgrade. Should i get an iphone 4s or another android...
Hi. I live in Bahrain in the middle east, we have CDMA and GSM based carriers and thats fine, but i just ordered my iPhone 4S from the UK and im going there in November on holiday where i will pick it up. but i dont really want to pay for a monthly/yearly contract so i was wondering, will it work on a Pay-as-you-go sim? please reply as i'm really not sure. thanks in advance, William
Dear TechnoBuffalo. Questions about the iphone 4s... 1st.when get it for the first time and fired it up.it get hot quickly and I mean pretty hot. is it going to damage the phone? 2nd.for the first,second and third time I charged the phone.it gets pretty hot too. is it going to damage the phone? 3rd.is it okay to use the phone while charging?like calling,gaming or internet brosing? 4th.is the iphone 4s a tough gadget?or is it pretty fragile? please reply.thanks
but the hot phone is only at the begining.(first time I opened the phone) and now its not hot anymore when i charge or use it.should i still bring it to apple store? and for the phone durability(like before its going wrong and stop working or lots of error) does iphone got dat problem?since this is my first iphone...
Do you guys think I should get the 4S? I currently have a 3G and I desire a new phone. I was either thinking of getting this phone, or the Nexus S. What one do you think is better?
I'm having the same issue with the 4s battery life as well not as good as the 4, the 4s was said to have better battery life than the 4. But I do notice the speaker is a little louder and and phone calls sound a little louder too.
I have samsung fascinate is ot worth the upgrade? And i travel pretty often to other contries and im on verizon , i put my own sim when i go to different country since its dual cdma and sim.
Don't have a 4S but I agree, I may be missing out on talk to text on my iPhone 4, but at least the battery life is great and I can upgrade to the iPhone 6 when my contract expires in 2013.
I have the 4s and it is much louder than the 4 at least with playing music. Maybe not the loudest of all phones in the world but certainly louder than the other iPhones. Good review though Jon.
Gotta love how everyone is saying very little has changed from the 4 to the 4s even though everything except the look has.
1.New OS
2.Siri
3.Double the CPU
4.Double the RAM
5.Much improved cam
6.Major antenna redesign.
Literally the only thing that the same is the outer shell.
watching this on my 5S! Time flies!!
Watching on my 6plus
Yes it does
+Gol. D Rodger watching on my iPhone 6s yup
Still watching on my 4s ;-;
Does it really?
Ha, right now the XS is the iPhone today. Watching on IPad Mini 1
I just got my iPhone 4s 2 days ago and I am very satisfied with it. It doesn't have higher specs as the other phones do but it does run much much smoother then any other phone I've used in my life. Specs don't make the phone the user experience does. And by far using the iPhone 4s is a joy
this is your best edited video yet jon, and a great review. well structured and informative.
"Siri is a novelty that will fade".........A fortune teller he is not. Lol.
Lel
i know there has been other iPhone reviews before this but i like watching Jon's reviews first because he's a great informative reviewer.
This is an excellent review Jon. I'm impressed.
Good review, I'm coming from a 4 (1st batch) to the 4s and the call quality alone makes it worth it not to mention the smoother/faster browsing and better camera quality. Although not so obvious now.. It's in a different class. This will become even clearer as developers catch up with the A5
Definitely a worthy upgrade for me coming off a 3GS on a two year contract. Thankfully got my 4S on an 18 month contract so hopefully I won't have too long to wait at the end of my contract for the next iPhone.
How about for your first iphone? would the 4s be something i should get...
Will it blend?
i agree, from the 4 to the 4s not much has changed, but from something else... it is worth som attention. may not have å bigger screen but for me at least the screen size is just right, love the design, very minimalistic jet elegant and classy
got my iphone 4S monday and loving it!
I have a 3gs, should i want for the new design or just get the 4s.
I'm surprised this video wasnt as short as the ipod comparison video a few days ago
Any Idea when the 5 comes out?
Got the 3gs. Live in europe, just ordered the 4s. I'm used to get the 's' versions even if i hoped for the 5 comin' out. But well, let's w8 for it ;)
Thanx for the review, great vid!
Does Siri work using EDGE connection or do you need 3G?
do i upgrade from 3gs or should i wait for iphone 5?
Good video as always! I currently have an iPhone 4 but will be upgrading to an iPhone 4S as I extensively use the camera. I also want to switch from black to white and am using this as an opportunity to do so.
You look at Siri as a novelty? I've been using it a ton. Very helpful. Especially for driving. Reading my texts, responding, playing music etc.
Outside of that settings reminders, alarms, events, and checking the weather at home is so helpful.
Just ordered mine four days ago. Can't wait!
Nice review:) Atleast you waited a bit to do a review unlike those other people who unbox it and then review it on the spot.
Can you still buy a iphone4 16gb or just the 8gb model? And how much will the 16gb be if it exists.
I have the 3G and im planning on a new iphone before summer 2012.
But when does the iphone 5 release? Should i get the iphone 4s or should i wait for the iphone 5.
Jon sounds like he's talking with helium in the video test. LOLZ
Good idea! I'm thinking about getting a 4s for Christmas! I hope its worth it! I am upgrading from a MetroPCS 30$ phone!
Whats the difference with AT&T and Verizon and so on ???
My iPhone 4S was a big upgrade from my iPhone 1! Love it
Gettin it after Christmas can't wait
Can you record videos below the 1080p resolution? What resolutions are available? Cause 1080p videos just take too much space.
If I have a Iphone 2g should i upgrade?
I hav a blackberry i hate it should i go for the 4s?
siri seems like a worthwhile thing for me personally. ever since i saw your siri the comedian video i've been entranced because AI has always fascinated me. to have something that complex built into my phone would be amazing for me
This video changed my mind about buying an iPhone 4S. But the only reason I'm going to buy an iPhone 4S is because I'm getting it for Verizon, and I'll have the best iPhone out. Nice review Jon.
i get my phone upgraded by sprint on the first of November...what should i get??
would you recommend me getting the iphone 4s or getting the samsung galaxy s2. i guess i've been using ios for a few years now, and im just looking for a change. are there sufficient apps on the android market? and is android more customisable than the iphone?
and in addition, do you think that 16 gb is enough for general use? im not looking to be a heavy app user.
thanks in advance :)
iphone 4s or galaxy nexus prime? i currently have the BB Tour on verizon
Initially Jon always says the dropped call issue has been fixed, a year down the line it's always back again.
I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with everything you just said, Jon. my only question was battery life and you addressed that. I'll be going with the Galaxy S II this year.
i got a ipod touch 2nd gen and a blackberry curve 8520. should i get the iphone 4s or wait till the iphone 5 comes out??
Got a iPhone 3G should I upgrade ??????
Is there going be an iPhone 5?
does it have game center?
Excellent review!
so is he saying that siri drains battery? so is it better to have siri turned off while i'm not using it?
I have a quite old blackberry 8520 and I dont know if buying the iPhone 4 or the 4s. I would have to buy them unlocked so it's expensive and the extra 100 bucks it's quite a bit. So which one do you guys recommend?

Its just so natural to use, you don't need to remember specific voice commands. It's really helpful, for me at least.
I come from the year 2020, your Siri will soon be able to toggle Settings like WiFi and Airplane mode
what is that on the top bar next to the wifi symbol on the iPhone? never seen that before.
isn't the at&t and verizon the same phone now?
i have a blackberry torch shud i get the 4 or 4s?
i suggest that you should use transitions between clips and images in your videos, it makes the whole video flow better.
Siri with phone utilities like wifi on would rock
I have the iPhone 4s with sprint, and when it notifies me of a new txt message, it displays a black bubble instead of the usual blue one. Is this just with sprint or each iPhone?
so if u dont reccommend switch to the iphone 4 to the 4s why did you upgrade since you hd a iphone4?
I'm about to start a new contract wtih verizon should I just pay 100 for iphone 4? Or go for 4s?
i wanted to ask you a question, i live in egypt so siri is gonna be way more limitid in here for sure, i have a broken iphone 3g, i have enough budget to buy either the 4s or ipad 2. i am a college student and a business man so both devices can be pretty handy...if i buy the 4s for 700 dollars will i be able to use it in egypt "unlock" ? ipad 2 or 4s which one do you recommend ?
Does anyone think that the price will go down by next november?
The thumbnail for this video is of an iPhone 4, not 4S
Siri is a great added feature that will get better as the functionality is expanded. It is awesome when you receive a text while you are driving. It can read the incoming text and you can reply all hands free.
About the iPad2,, it has an A5 chip so why dont they put siri in it??
you think 2 years is bad? Up north in Canada I've got 2 more years on my 3 year old iPhone 4
1. unless its hot for a prolonged period of time, it won't damage the phone. in fact it turns off if it overheats i believe.
2. if you charge it and it gets hot, you might want to take it to the apple store
3. it's ok to use it while its charging
4. the iphone is not tough at all. it's made out of all glass, and if you drop it without a case, it will shatter and you will have to get the glass replaced which can cost up to 100 dollars for a back and a front replacement glass
1:36 how do you view the voicemail like that?? i can only listen to the voicemails by the stupid call mechanism.
im on verizon and i currently have the over 2 year old BB Tour, should i get the iPhone 4S or wait for the Galaxy Nexus Prime (i know it hasnt been confirmed for Verizon, but since it has LTE, im almost positive they will carry it).
if you upgrade ios5 on an iphone 4 will you get siri?
i have a htc evo should i get it
So john y did u upgrade
so how do you get the iOS5 on my IPhone 4 ?
I don't have an iphone and my contract runs out in may should I wait for the iphone 5?
I watched a number of phone reviews before i came here.. Nokia Lumia - HTC's and Samsung etc.... and somehow when i watched this video i felt very happy its like moving 5 years a head of those guys, i mean nothing wrong with the others but this is just in a completely different league !!
i know this might be a silly question, but my contract isnt up until next june and i want to get the 4s., i have the 4.but im not sure if i want to upgrade to the 4s or just wait until the 5. please help
I have a serious question not fanboy wars please. But i have the galaxy s2 atm and its time for an upgrade. Should i get an iphone 4s or another android...
@Domitruco was this what made you upgrade from the 4 to the 4S???
Oh and what's that app under maps
Hi. I live in Bahrain in the middle east, we have CDMA and GSM based carriers and thats fine, but i just ordered my iPhone 4S from the UK and im going there in November on holiday where i will pick it up. but i dont really want to pay for a monthly/yearly contract so i was wondering, will it work on a Pay-as-you-go sim? please reply as i'm really not sure. thanks in advance, William
Dear TechnoBuffalo.
Questions about the iphone 4s...
1st.when get it for the first time and fired it up.it get hot quickly and I mean pretty hot.
is it going to damage the phone?
2nd.for the first,second and third time I charged the phone.it gets pretty hot too.
is it going to damage the phone?
3rd.is it okay to use the phone while charging?like calling,gaming or internet brosing?
4th.is the iphone 4s a tough gadget?or is it pretty fragile?
please reply.thanks
Should I get this or HTC Rezound? I like both iOS and Android. I use my phone for messaging, emailing, music, games (mainly RPGs), etc. Thanks!
It's sad when a prime feature of the iPhone is that it doesn't drop calls now.
i had my iphone 4 for a year and 2 months now ,and it have never dropped a call
I'll stay with my iPhone 4 right now hope that the next iPhone has a bigger screen
i love your honesty.
what is that symbol beside the wifi symbol?
but the hot phone is only at the begining.(first time I opened the phone) and now its not hot anymore when i charge or use it.should i still bring it to apple store?
and for the phone durability(like before its going wrong and stop working or lots of error) does iphone got dat problem?since this is my first iphone...
is their any reviews for the sprint iphone 4s ?
Do you guys think I should get the 4S? I currently have a 3G and I desire a new phone. I was either thinking of getting this phone, or the Nexus S. What one do you think is better?
@AlexMusicovers Errrrr, I'm confused on what your trying to convey cause Apple did copy Android when it comes to Voice commands and such
Is there iPhone 2? Cuz iPhone series starts from iPhone 3g,then 3gs,then 4 then 4s..I nvr heard of iphone 2 b4
ok 1080p 30 fraps per second, and what about 720p ? is there more fps ?
You can toggle the settings on the iPhone 4S if you have it jailbroken and if you have some jailbreak tweaks installed.
how can I change things in the info shade thing? and how come I don't have the stocks app?
I'm having the same issue with the 4s battery life as well not as good as the 4, the 4s was said to have better battery life than the 4. But I do notice the speaker is a little louder and and phone calls sound a little louder too.
"Siri's novelty will where off" boy were you wrong. Now android is putting out a Siri like personal assistant.
Should I buy the Iphone 4S or wait for the Iphone 5 to come out. It's just 9 months left for the Iphone 5.
I have a galaxy s2, should I upgrade to iPhone 4s? Is it worth it? :/
great review!
I have samsung fascinate is ot worth the upgrade? And i travel pretty often to other contries and im on verizon , i put my own sim when i go to different country since its dual cdma and sim.
Don't have a 4S but I agree, I may be missing out on talk to text on my iPhone 4, but at least the battery life is great and I can upgrade to the iPhone 6 when my contract expires in 2013.
