    As crazy as it sounds, I'm actually using an iPhone 4s as my main phone atm! Long story short, I was using a 13, but unfortunately it got damaged to the point where I could no longer use it. The 4s is the only spare phone I have and I'm basically forced to use it until my replacement phone (Galaxy S23) arrives. And yes I can tell you based on my experience, it is incredibly slow and frustrating to use in 2023. But the bright side is that it's taught me to not be on my phone all the time, as well as all the things I took for granted.

For example, the few times I had to make one, I could only understand about half of the other person's end, as the audio kept breaking up for whatever reason.
      And I'm not so sure about texting. I don't text that often, and I didn't have to at all during the 2 weeks I was stuck with the 4s.

    Yes, great video, more like this! As an iPhone user who went from a BlackBerry Curve 8300 to iPhone 4 to iPhone 5S to iPhone 6S, I recently found myself looking back over the Android offerings that were available at the time. I wonder why I went with iPhone over say a Galaxy SII or SIII during the time the 4/4S was available. Just side by side the build quality is just on another level. Though I now have an iPhone 14 Pro Max *and* a Galaxy S23 Ultra, back in the day when $200 was a huge amount of money to me, I could only choose one and I'd make the same choice again. This was an amazing phone. I wish I could have had this and an SIII back in the day. Sigh.

The only reason I can’t use a phone that small nowadays, though is because my eyes have degraded with age. Otherwise I think I really would prefer to have that small shape rather than a big beefy iPhone XR, which is what I have now which is big and heavy.

    Definitely one of the most exciting times for smartphones. The days when I was genuinely excited for the next phone that was coming out. I'm more of an Android user and still prefer it but I've also had the iPhone 6 and 7 plus and the experience was nothing but great. Flash back to this 4S and I still remember how it was just in a league of its own. It was that much better than anything else. Apart from the Galaxy S2 (I think this was its direct competitor at the time), most Android phones were steaming piles of unoptimized trash. Obviously, things have come a long way now but you're absolutely right that Apple did set the tone for most of the things to come.

I will probably have to jailbreak it sometime to be able to get back into it. Not sure if it’ll work with the current 5G cellular towers, but will specifically use it for recording videos since it’s a lower resolution which takes up less storage. I believe I can still airdrop since that’s what the 2 iPads (one of them is from 2014) and the newer iPhone SE can airdrop as well.
