I actually still have this iPhone but on iOS 6.1.3 which I think was the best iOS version from the end of 2012. I think that this is a collector's idem because the iPhone 4s was the last iPhone made by Steve Jobs before he passed away.
Some of the first gen Iphones sold for over 100k recently. I have the same phone is this video that spent it's entire life in an otter box with 0 scratches or marks. Let's hope someone starts spending 100k on these lol.
awesome! used my 4s for two weeks as daily phone - was awesome, aseptically because I was able to get iOS 6 on it - awesome design and feel of UI as well.
I was on the I-4 until my friend gave me his old I-12 as an upgrade in December, just last year. Mom gave me her old ones when I got sick. I had a backup, but it looks like it exploded or something, case is kinda cracked open. Strange for being in a box for the last few years. Thanks for the share.
I highly doubt that you can connect an iPhone 4S to a cell service today since they did away with 3G signals in the United States, however you may still be able to connect an unlocked iPhone 4S to a cellular service in Mexico where they still have 3G and 2G signals especially out in the ranches outside of major cities in Mexico.
I think apple got in trouble for slowing down their old phones once back then... the 4s probably could be a little faster than it was but of course it's old and has limits
@@greenstacks2397I think with software, the iPhone 4S apparently had the exact opposite problem as the older Samsung S phones between 2017 to 2020. While the iPhone 4S had too long of software support where the hardware was too slow on it's last software, with the older Samsung phones however on their last software version, you ended up with a phone that still had very powerful hardware for their last version of software and technically their could easily handle a newer version of Android, but unfortunately you couldn't update them any farther.
I love this iPhone! Honestly, it works not too bad! It's slow, but it still works quite well! The good thing about iPhones is that even the old ones still work. However, for the S2, the S2 is SLOW!!!
I love the size!!!! I have a newer iPhone, but it’s huge….problem now is the carriers and apple aren’t supporting it. All I want it to do is make calls and texting (don’t need data, as I do all that on my home computer). I’ve tried att, Verizon, sprint, Tracfone etc, none work.
I don’t see a point in you argue so much against buying this phone other than for collecting purposes considerint that it’s obviously a historical item rather than a functioning mobile phone. For something like 6s plus in 2024 sure but 4s? C’mon
I wish they hadn’t stoped the old phones from working would love to use my 4s with the photos etc as a working phone again even if I can’t use the phoneme features or better still Maybe use pay as you go on it again
If anyone is reading this, give me your input on this idea. I am soon returning to school, and I want to buy an iPhone 4s and flex having a new iPhone. Should I do this? Does it sound funny?
I will disagree that it's not worth it anymore. It is, just not as it was intended to be used. It's a great ipod. It's incredibly cheap ($10-20 for a good condition one), it has a damn good camera and it's absolutely a killer cheap ipod lmao. It's so easy to put videos and music on it. For the price, i'd say it's a really nice little "toy"
Depends. The 6s for example still supports a lot of the apps even though the software is a little outdated. However on the 4s you'd be pretty much out of luck
tbh if this was more modernized with software and other things i woulda bought this. WHY IS THE SMALLEST IPHONE BIGGER THEN THE 6+ BY LIEK .6 INCHS (and the new pro max is like 1.4 inchs taller like what?)
Planning on getting one to replace my iPod touch 7 cause I want a smaller device to use as a iPod I have iPod nano’s but they overheat and battery same with my iPod touch 7 so should I use a iPhone 4s as a iPod any suggestions? Also I want to use it as a gps maybe tho maybe still deciding cause my iPhone freaks out a lot
If your looking me a small iPhone to use as a iPod you could always get a 12 Mini which you can get one between $150-200 or a iPhone 13 Mini for around $200-250 depending on the storage size.
Is this even a question? Unless it's used as a music player or something basic like that, you should NOT even think of it. Though the 4S was an amazing phone. RIP Steve.
No. Almost no Apps work on this phone. You can use for only very few things: calls, texts, music, podcasts, very basic navigation, and slow web browsing, but thats about it.
I've been looking for days... does ANYONE know how to unlock the phone if it's protected by a passcode? I want to access all my old data such as photos videos etc... but cannot get in. Very appreciated if anyone knows how to get past that!
I use mine for just that, my main phone is an iPhone 12 mini. I don't know about Spotify compatibility with the iPhone 4s, however Apple Music and iTunes work just fine for me. I like using it for texts and calls, especially if I want a little disconnection from reality
I can make it quick for you: replace it when you cant comfortably get through the day with one charge anymore. Usually if the battery health is labeled as 80% or worse a replacement is worth it.
Let’s not even talk about how Tucci and 3G has been shut down and no longer exist in the US meaning that phone will not and probably never connect to a US cellular network tower again
I've one, after 10 year no software can be installed, nothing, also maps doesn't work.. My old android phones still working and can download some apps. Stupid people buy stupid phones, i will never buy new one from Papple.
Not only, but a Sony alarm clock with only that connector type. -Some of us are too lazy to throw this crap out... E-Waste... I'll make someone else deal with it when I'm gone.
Answer: no. Saved you 8 minutes. Seriously? Is a 13 year old phone worth it in 2024? This creator is simply milking out any video he can think of for ad revenue. Ridiculous.
Serious this was the best iPhone in that year. Sorry but you don’t really know nothing about apples iPhones I have collected every iPhone and this is the best of the best in the line of iPhone that’s why know the 12/13/14/15/have the same square body.sorry but you don’t know anything about that phone.

I miss this era of phones. Phones have peaked now.
Especially since 2017
Facts. I miss when smartphones were new and exciting. Now, they just like to remove features, but charge more for them.
Agree , all boring now all the same I haven't upgraded since 2020 no point nothing different just better camera , and tiniest part faster processor

No it’s like 13 💀
Even older now but still

Alr guys my bad for being incorrect on the age of the iphone
Still use it as my main lmao
I love how he always tells us if the device is still worth it or not in the beginning 😅

I have mine on iOS 9 or 8 idk. I bought it for just 7 bucks,and it doesn't charge. Might be a faulty cable cuz the phone looks to be in good condition
It’s worth it when you jailbreak iOS 6 and download games from veteris

But this iPhone had 4G LTE. I think it could connect and work.
iPhone 4S ain’t worth it as a main phone in 2024. IOS 9.3.6 is laggy and TH-cam doesn’t work on it anymore (ever since early 2021)
iPhone 8 minimum
Yeah, I have iPad 3 with ios 9.3.6. Same. TH-cam does not work sinse early 2021... :(

In what way does a 13 pro max resemble a iPhone 5? The closest thing to an iPhone 5 now is the 13 mini which is barely any larger in form factor
