I recently purchased a iPhone 4s 32gb White at Best buy and when I started using it was extremely disappointed. I renewed my contract for 2 more years on AT&T and I regret the decision. In my area I would typically get 5.2 download and 2.2 upload on my iPhone 4. When I'm on my iPhone 4s I get these speeds. It's absolutely ridiculous and I know it's not a network problem because whenever I use my iPhone 4 on speed test I get the same speeds as I normally get before I got the iPhone 4s.

Apple iPhone 4s Is a failure:

So, the iPhone 4S is a failure because it's slower in your area than your iPhone 4? Could it be network problems with AT&T?

I'm testing it on my iPhone 4 within inches from the iPhone 4s location. It is clearly not a network problem, it's something that Apple needs to fix.
 
iphone 4s Network problems

Hi,

I received the iphone 4s on Monday and love it, BUT.... because 'apparently' because the new 4s is only G3 and my nearest mast is G2 I keep having a network problem... where by it keeps dropping me and a keep getting a 'YOU HAVE NO NETWORK' message on screen.

Add to this I can only ever have email OR text, but never both and again 'apparently' this because the 4s is only g3 instead of G2/3 or even G4 combined. I've been told by orange tech guys my nearest mast is a G2 mast and thus I'll always have this problem... :eek:(
The Orange tech guy suggested I send my shiny new iphone4s back :eek:(

I am wondering if this is an 'orange' problem or a general problem with all networks.... has anyone else experienced any network problems.... ?

Thanks Lisa
