Same here. Ran speed test on both my 4 and my wife's 4S and down avg. about 0.2 Mbps faster while up was about 0.3 Mbps faster on the 4S (3.3 down, 1.2 up).
My bad, glanced over your initial post a bit too quickly. That being said, I expected the 4S to have faster download/upload speeds considering it supposedly supports HSPA+.
Yeah, like twice the processor power faster.
i dunno what to do.. i was gonna return it now i dont know.. i still dont see these people who say so much faster..
my 4 - with what 512ram, lesser processoor.. is the same or fastere me thinks
What a horrible way to conduct a test. With all phones right next to each other, it's no wonder they were going so slow. And when he ran the SpeedTest.net app, the AT&T phone was connecting to a different server than the other two phones. Take this test with a grain of salt.
I think it's the apps. Open up something that puts it through the paces and you'd certainly see a difference. The standard cal message etc., stuff wasn't developed to be hyper fast on any processor. You're doing a test akin to running safari on a mini and comparing it to safari on a mac pro. It's still just safari and runs at decent speed. Try something like Final Cut Pro, or autoCAD, if you want to see why the eight other processors were put in that MP>
Those people saying it's faster have fallen into the apple hype and/or are apple fanboys. It by no means has a dramatic difference in speed. Some posters have even stated that the 4 may even be faster than the 4S.

which i would never use.. so the "speed" is useless to me .. so i'm returning it
(they can reactivate my old phone?)
yes yes!

no no.. i'm talking app speed.. system stuff speed
Yeah, you should return it. Or you can swap with me I have a iPhone 4. I'll take that slow dog with the 8MP 1080p sensor off your hands.
ok just did.. shaking my head..

slow dog??? not my 4
Unless, ATT has HSPDA+ in your area, it will be same speed as far as 3g or 4g. As far as loading apps, it varies!
Talk about blind leading the blind.
