We have used 4S for a while, I would like to see how people like it. Personally I will give 4S 7 out of 10. To be honest, its just like 3G to 3GS.

Siri... just fine.. it was interesting at the beginning, but I quit using Siri after 2 weeks...

the other features are pretty much the same as 4.

let me know what you think :rolleyes:
 
IMO iPhone is the best phone available. I wouldn't have another phone. The 4s isn't a whole lot different than the 4, but the few differences make it worth it

What's with the "sarcastic" smiley?
 
I have both 4 & 4S .... functionally... they are pretty much the same... but Siri is a good tool to teach my 3 year old pronunciation
 
I love it, i use the camera all the time! Siri i use some, but not too much, and i have noticed the speed difference between the 4 and the 4S, and im quite happy i have the 4S, everything is much faster. Though I wish it was the 5... oh well i just get that next year :O Also the battery could last longer, but im happy as long as it lasts all day.
 
To be honest, its just like 3G to 3GS.

I would say no to this. IMO, the 3G to the 3GS was a bigger upgrade than the 4 to the 4S.

I upgraded from the 4 to the 4S and then switched back after a week due to battery life issues. My advice to every one I know who is thinking of making the switch is to just wait for the next generation iPhone. Heck, it could only be 7 months away.
 
Using the 4s only when I have to. The speed of the SII skyrocket is too hard to look past. 4 to 4s is meh 7/10.
 
I went from the 3GS to the 4S, for me it's a great update, and I suspect I'm more the market they were going for than owners of the 4 looking for a reason to swap. The 4 is still a great phone so I can see why the 4S wouldn't knock your socks off in comparison, but for anyone at the end of a 2 year contract it's a big step up from anything they had before.

Best feature - probably the excellent camera, followed by the overall speed and fluidity of the thing. Siri is interesting, I expect it to get better and a lot more useful fairly quickly so I'm glad to have it on board..
 
PS battery is no issue for me, it's at least as good if not better than my 3GS and comfortably gets through the day without a snag, I don't need anything more than that and wouldn't expect it from such a well-used smartphone.
 
Love my 4S ! I have not had any battery issues, lasts me well through the day with my usage pattern. I also don't have the buzzing vibrate or yellow screen or any other issues.
 
Because the 4S was such a downer, I wanted the iphone 5. But decided to go over to Android with the new Galaxy S II Skyrocket that has more goodies than the iphone could hope for and it supports full 4g LTE speeds. :)
 
It's my first iphone and I'm absolutely loving it. My favorite feature is the music cover flow. It looks so slick and stylish :D

I can see myself keeping this phone for the next 3 years.
 
I have iPhone 4 and my wife just got the 4S... played with it... and really not that much difference ...

she loves it because she got a big upgrade from 3S to 4S!!
 
I love my 4S!


Off-T : nice pic.
ON-T : i already have the phone. i love it. the only phone i might ever think of changing iphone to is the galaxy nexus. but not sure about that either at all.

i know the upgrade is like 3g to 3gs. but i really liked the 3gs and i couldnt the stand the iphone 3g after while. hell. to this day the 3gs is supported because of the speed of the processor and its really fast compared to the iphone 4 " i kinda believe they are about the same in terms of speed for the user. aside from what its written in paper "

so do i regret my iphone 4s ? no i dont even if i paid good cash for it. but would i have lived if i had my iphone 4 ? yeah ofcourse as the upgrade wasnt really very important. just had some cash and i was able to afford one so yay.

Thanks!

I'll never go back to Android.
 
How are options 1 and 2 different from each other? Wouldn't "iPhone 4 + Siri" automatically be the best iPhone in history? Unless, of course, someone likes the 3GS better than the 4.
 
I bought the 4S a few days after release. After about a week with it, I came to the conclusion that I'm fine with my iPhone 4, returned it and will use the upgrade possibly at a later date.
 
I bought it yesterday. but i found there is no big difference. BTW, I love the outside color.
