Iphone 4s what does it come with

But running iOS 9. 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.

Here is our verdict. Few are going to go out of their way to touch and hold the iPhone 4S, but that's not to say it isn't very nice to grasp. The iPhone 4 felt like a finely crafted piece of machinery and there's no doubt this one walks in those very same footsteps.

Compared to your average modern Android wunderphone the 4S feels small, dense and heavy, a very different sensation than the occasionally lighter but frequently more plasticky competition.

The 4S does actually have slightly more heft than the 4, but only by carefully holding one in each hand can you notice the increase from grams 4. Save for a few tweaks that even the most dedicated Appleista wouldn't be able to spot at a distance, the 4S is identical from the exterior.

A few of the controls have been shifted by fractions of a millimeter and this uses the same exterior antenna layout as the CDMA iPhone 4 that hit Verizon earlier this year.

Rather more significantly, though, how it works with those antennas has changed. The other major change to the internals comes in the wireless network support.

A , 1,MHz. All that naturally means you'll be getting 3G data on nearly every carrier in these lands and abroad, though those providers are still being cagey about just how much success you'll have at porting the 4S from one to another — at least until the unlocked model shows up in November.

Up front is the same 3. That ppi density is still quite a lovely thing to behold, surely one of the highest quality panels currently available today in a phone, but in nearly a year and a half the world has moved on.

Smartphones are bigger than they were in and 3. It's a great size for those with moderately proportioned hands, and opinions certainly differ when determining what is the optimal girth for a smartphone if, indeed, there is such a thing as optimal but, after living with a 4. Still, this isn't exactly unprecedented, apps like Vlingo do similar things elsewhere. Also, it should be noted that Siri isn't necessarily any more accurate than other offerings.

We did a side-by-side comparison of the dictation abilities of iOS 5 vs. Android's dictation services, though rather less friendly than Siri and requiring a few more taps on the display, were every bit as accurate.

Windows Phone, however, struggled to provide consistently accurate transcriptions, often missing words and getting more complex statements wrong. Vonnegut would have likely approved, but wasn't exactly what we had in mind.

It's in going the other way that Siri has even more potential, saying that you have a new message and then promptly reading it to you — then letting you reply by voice. The biggest issue here, though, is that you can't have emails read to you, which means you can't fully reply by voice. You can do voice dictation, but you'll need to trigger that with your fingers. This potentially could be a boon for people who would rather listen to their inbox than NPR on the commute home from work, and indeed it is, but the functionality here is a little more limited than we'd like.

For example, you can tell Siri to look up something on Wolfram Alpha, and that she'll dutifully do, but she won't read you the response. You have to look at the phone, likely thanks to Wolfram Alpha rendering its results as images rather than plain text. Having to still fish your phone out of your pocket for some things makes Siri rather less wonderful than she could be, but she's very impressive nevertheless.

And, more importantly, this signals that Apple is taking a real interest in improving voice recognition and hands-free device interaction. That should mean some amazing progress from here, and we can't wait to talk to the next generation Siri. We also hope that Siri's siblings will be able to run offline, because today's girl requires a 3G or WiFi connection to do anything. Even the simple voice commands that were available in iOS before no longer work offline, and if you happen to be one of the few who actually used those commands to change tunes while offline, you're sadly going to have to find another way.

We also hope that she broadens her horizons a bit, as much of Siri's functionality directions, looking up businesses doesn't work in Europe. But it's not all about the benchmarks, and we've been overall quite impressed by the performance of the 4S in general tasks.

We remain continually impressed by the performance of the iPhone 4 — despite its aging assets, it still performs like a young smartphone in its prime. For video, the device offers p HD recording with video image stabilization and temporal noise reduction.

The phone has blazing fast 4G LTE data speeds, 4. The phone will be available for pre-order on Oct. You can get it through the wireless carriers or through Apple. Finally, what are your thoughts on the new iPhone 4S? Do you have any questions about the new device?
