This was a tough one. This is no way a perfect 10, but it's not that innovative and not that big a reason to jump from an iPhone 4. Still a good product nonetheless.
If it was in a different case with slightly bigger screen I bet you would be freaking over it and saying how innovative apple is.
This phone is head and shoulders above the 4, in many aspects.... picture editing on phone.....
Not that innovative and not that big a reason to jump huh. Are we supposed to take your blog seriously when you make those types of statements? Not saying it's the best phone out there for every user but I say the millions sold (many by 4 owners) tell a different story.
This phone is head and shoulders above the 4, in many aspects. Speed, antenna, camera, dual core processor, video, picture editing on phone, Siri..... If it was in a different case with slightly bigger screen I bet you would be freaking over it and saying how innovative apple is. Even though I don't agree with your findings thanks for posting it up.
It will be very interesting when the hack makes Siri 100% functional on the iPhone 4.

When reviewing a phone, why should you factor in how big of a jump it is over the previous model? If it's the best phone on the market, it should be a 10/10, and the iPhone 4, if only slightly lesser, should be a 9/10. Then users would see that, and decide whether or not to upgrade.
No phone is perfect. Thus to award a phone 10/10 implies that in terms of the current state of development it cannot be improved upon. That is absurd.
Oh, I didn't mean that it deserved a 10/10. He just said in a reply that it wasn't a perfect 10 because it wasn't big enough of a jump. I don't think that it is a perfect phone, but it's certainly better than a 7.5/10, and the fact that the previous generation was also good shouldn't discredit a new phone.

Careful with your review: You say that all accessories are compatible with 4 and 4S, and that's simply not true if you have an AT&T iPhone 4. My original Apple bumper doesn't work (the new revision does), and a LOT of my cases that came out for the AT&T iPhone do not work fit correctly because of the shifted mute switch.
I think you just skipped right down to the last paragraph and didn't read the rest. I have a bad habit of doing that too. Lack of innovation was not the only reason. Battery performance wasn't as great as the 4 (from my own testing), no LTE in this 4G capable world, iOS 5 is the best iOS but it doesn't really stand out or do anything different from rival mobile OSs
7.5 is in no way a bad rating. I said several times it's a great phone. I love apple and know what they've been capable of. There's just a lot more they could have done on this years iPhone

It will be very interesting when the hack makes Siri 100% functional on the iPhone 4. I stand by my review and it's pretty clear that the leap from the 4 to the 4S wasn't that great a leap from the 3GS to the 4. And as I mentioned, anyone with less than an iPhone 4, this would be an excellent phone to upgrade to.
I agree with everyone else, if it's the best phone on the market, you should have given it a 10/10. It is, however, nice to see someone taking the time to write something up like this.
7.5 out of ten is 75%. A 75% on a term paper or a test is equal to a C+.
But that's not the comparable leap.
The comparable shift is from 3G to 3GS... and this revision (4 to 4S) is MUCH MUCH bigger
