- DROID RAZR or iPhone 4S? pdog.ws/pPcvI0
Aaron reviews the Apple iPhone 4S, the evolutionary upgrade from the iPhone 4 that debuted sixteen months ago. While the design is virtually identical to its predecessor, there are quite a few improvements in the 4S like a dual-core Apple A5 (800 MHz) processor, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, global roaming capabilities thanks to a SIM card slot in all models, and Apple's iOS 5 out of the box. It retains the same 3.5-inch Retina display and metal/glass aesthetic. It's available at AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon starting at $199.99 with contract.
It's a nice revision and packs some awesome features, but the mobile market has shifted dramatically over the past sixteen months, and Android is closing the gap. Is the 4S enough to lure new customers and keep existing iOS users on the platform? We'll find out. Part 1 of 2.

getting mine in 4 months and counting!!!!! i cant wait any longer!!!!!!!!
you should do all the reviews, i enjoy listening.
getting one tomorrow! my first smart phone so excited
No matter how many devices HTC, LG, Samsung, or any of those companies come out with, they will never be able to stay even with the single iPhone.
I bought this phone. Upgrading from a Droid X. Looking forward to a consistent experience. Just tired of having to tweek and figure out what is wrong with my phone. More power to ppl who love doing that though.
oMG DUDE
i havent been wathing phonedog videos for a long time, but damn man, good job
u look sharp and well
I just bought an unlocked 64GB 4s to use with my tmobile pay as you go plan. Excited!
i am getting one just like this one but in white today and i am so excited to have it
My iPhone should be here any day now. Watching these iPhone videos is only making me even more impatient. BTW, I got the white one :)
I bought this phone Oct 14. It's my first smartphone. I love it.
WTF OO'... I was watching the review of the galaxy S II then I watched this video ...
You've changed so much Aaron oO...=)
Getting this on Thursday (possibly). I ordered it off of Amazon but the shipper still hasn't brought it to the post office! I was supposed to get it today. Sigh, at least I'm getting it. Hope it's worth it.
@PreApproved1 I used to think the same, so I got rid of my iPhone to have an Android phone. However, at the end of the day, it all goes back to the core features, usability and stability. You can do some fancy stuffs with an Android phone but how many people will spend most of their time looking for new ROMs, installing new cool things.... The majority of user still need a reliable phone with various good functions, and to be honest no Android phone can do it better than the iPhone.
i use the reminders app on my ipod touch a whole lot. I hook it up to my speaker dock and it kinda acts as an alarm clock now. And it just helps me get all my little things done whereas normally, i would forget or end up doing them too late.
Mine's supposed to come tomorrow or Friday. So excited!
@MrOGsonic well said!!...most android users tend to dismiss iOS just bcuz, without ever giving the iphone a try..i used to be one of those fandroids..gave the 4S a go...and never switching back to android
How's battery life compared between the 2 because my iPhone battery is terrible and that's one reason I might go to the galaxy
Hopefully getting mine tomorrow. Depending on how things go with verizon..
Have thunderbolt now...hate it, should be getting this tomorrow!!
I just ordered mine - So excited!
Lool loving the 'iTouch!!' outburst at 05:43
That is a really nice view from your window!!
You didn't mention the speech to text feature that was added to the keyboard
Much as I have trash talked the iPhone, I find myself now getting one to replace my Xperia TL, which was a poor choice, and with a year and a half left on a 2 year contract, I find myself in the position to get a brand new 4S for under 50 dollars, and I'm taking it. Sure, smaller screen and no 4G LTE connectivity, but it's a small price to pay for a phone that won't lag like crazy and has 4 times the battery life of the Xperia I have. Time to give Apple its due and actually try the iPhone
cant wait for this, ordered it yesterday after returning my g nexus. After using android, i can now say that iphones are much better.
@Spart4n02 No. You fail. Read the specs again. The higher megapixel is just a bonus, it's the sensor size that matters besides different other things, just look at the pictures taken with it and you'll see exactly what i mean.
Should I keep my iPhone 4s or switch to a Galaxy S4?
Need help!!!
so, im thinking about getting the i phone 4s do u think its worth the money?
I cannot wait to get my iPhone 4s in the mail hopefully this week!!!
Speed would make the most sense because of the a5 1ghz processor vs the iphones 4's a4 1ghz processor, but it could also stand for siri because it is the only major hardware change on the phone.
Hopefully getting this for Christmas
getting mine in 7 days cant wait my first apple product! HAPPY DANCE!!!
Getting mine in 4 weeks :) so happy!
@BrigadaCerdito get the galaxy s II epic touch you wont regret it man trust me the phone is a beast and as for me i wouldnt wanna upgrade to the nexus thats coming to sprint due to lower specs..Ics is hype imo to and its laggy compared to just touch wiz or even the ios5..
@phonedog how do you like sprint? i was thinking of getting the iPhone 4s on Sprint. how is it?
I have the 4s over the 5 as well have had many friends get the 5 and returned it many issues with it.
The first question to Siri by every reviewer: What is the weather like today? xD
Getting this phone from Verizon next month! Can't wait.
You're absolutely right about Android inconsistent experience, that pisses me off very much actually, especially true with the older models (which in android world is like a year) when put Android 2.3.3 on them it will be lagging everywhere, painful experience.
should i get this or the iphone 4 cause i want to know if the 4s is worth the extra $100
my boy Aaron looks good!
PLEASE RESPOND: i heard on the news that the ios 5 is eating the battery but they got some software to stop the battery from going down fast. whats the software called?
They don't necessarily need a redesign but the screen has got to be somewhere between 3.7 - 4.0 inch screen.
It could if you want it to but people have come to a decision that the "s" is for speed because of the new processor.
Im thinking about this phone because im moving back to sprint and this is probably the best phone on there...other than maybe the new htc evo but i have the inspire. Needless to say battery life sucks and i dont want that to happen again so i think im going with the sure shot.
I missed Noah, but I was like what the heck he's on techno buffalo. Now I enjoy watching Aaron's reviews and I don't watch Noah's videos anymore, lol.
Getting one this Wednesday!
@BrigadaCerdito Hate to tell you this but you should probably wait for the Iphone 5 or the Galaxy S3. They will both be coming out around summer and the performance will most likely be better, but if your set on getting a phone i would get the Iphone,
Such silly discussion. iPhone 4S and SG2 are both great phone. It is impossible to say which is better because all come down to personal preference. I have both and certainly there is few things indisputable such as the size of screen and GPS for SG2 and polished UI and voice commands to the iPhone. However, most of what has been disputed and its indistinguishable differences such as speed, camera, functionality, etc... I don't get the desire to say my phone is better just buy what you like.
even though this is about 2 years old i still prefer it to the iphone 5, can't wait for mine to turn up :D
Voice actions on android vs Siri on iphone...come on Aaron dogfight lol
Will the Iphone 5 that comes out in september be available on Tmobile?
Did they ever fix the MIC Issues? My UPGRADE is march 17, so i get the 4s or get a droid?
I'd wait for the iPhone 5. It's coming out around October/November.
when is the iphone 5 rumored to come out?
Matt bell what will you sudgest? Iphone 5 or xperia z?
@phonedog: Agreed, smoothness is one of the thing that iOS has done way better than Android, that's also why I always wanted an iPhone even though I have a high end Android device (Mytouch 4G)
Would u happen to know when sprint will have 4g lte nationwide
And Aaron, good job on the weight loss, you look awesome, how'd you lose the weight?!
The quick brown fox does an awesome review
I'm looking in the market for a new phone and I'm considering this in white or an HTC Vivid in White(:
I'm still wondering why phonedog never did an iPhone 4s vs Galaxy Nexus dogfight 0.o
@CurveXD dude forget that,8.0 Mega pixel thats all siri works on the iphone 4 and ur iphone 4 can be updated to ios 5,
I mean really you couldn't just click the weather app(talkin bout people who uses it for that on daily bases)....stuff like that just bugs me but, I still love your reviews
hey im on sprint carrier and im getting mine in the mail in a couple of days, and i was jw can u turn off the battery life number percent in the upper right hand corner, or is the number always there
@RecklessRangerHD So, how is the iOS experience ?
iphone 4s or htc amaze ?! I'm debating on changing my service ?!
i just ordered my white iphone 4s 32g to replace my droid3 that melted, yes i did said melted. the sad part is Verizon wont let me get a replacement droid3 phone because this little plastic peace fell off of the back cover of my old droid 3 because it got to hot and the glue came undone, they told me it voided the warranty that i pay for each month.
Getting mine next month!!
when is the iphone 5 coming out
plz tell me!
I'm getting this tomorrow for my birthday. I hate my droid and most of all I hate having to carry my droid and iPod touch so this will fix that problem:)
Man I want this phone so bad going to get it by the the end of June!!!!!!!!!
I would say normal S4 over the iPhone 4s but since you are talking about the mini s4 then you should probably go for the iphone
Then when the 3GS came out what did the 'S' stand for?
thats a good iphone 4 review. where did apple go to download the siri app?
can u do iphone 4s vs htc amaze dog fight!?!
should i get this or wait for iphone 5?
@december120994 according to leaked specs, it's equal to the GS2. The phone to look out for now is possibly the Droid Razor.
whats the porpose of a dual -core processor, when you dont have any flash support...i love the Iphone, but i love my droid better
it is in 3GS, but in 4S it stands for Siri. Tim Cook confirmed that some time ago
So, it did take ideas from Android, including that text msg in the notifications bar thing. I always hated how msgs would pop up on friends phones
I was gonna get a 4s a couple years ago but since its obsolete I made smart choice and got a 5s
It seems like virgin mobile is cheaper but for the first year it's about the same in total
All iphone 4 has simcard slots? So what's the new thing about it on the 4S? I don't get it..
I'm getting mine at best buy for $50 through my two year contract update with att
@CurveXD and a duel core processor thanks to the new A5 chip
but yes its a very minor upgrade from the iPhone 4. i would get the iPhone 4 from Verizon cause they still offer a 16gb and 32gb model and Verizon is the best
same with sprint.Verizon is actually pretty cheap for what you get. AT&T charges $40/mo to have unlimited text/talk with other AT&T devices, but you only get 450 min for other devices, lol wut? But Verizon is $40/mo for unlimited talk/text to any mobile any service provider. Im glad verizon lowered their rates...
Aaron...looking good !
Cant wait to get my 4S in about a month! :DD
Which one is better iphone 4s or iphone 5? Need answer ASAP
A lot of people have missed out on the mic now in messaging app talk to text.
It's a speed boost... Siri is the alternative name to the s but mainly for speed call it what u like
should I buy the iPhone 4s or the samsung s3 ?? please reply ASAP
dude its free on the website with a two year data plan (gotta pay for plan though)
how much would it be if i get an iphone 4s a 16g if i get a two year contract? i heard its 200.00 ... is that right?
All these years later and the iPhone is still the best.
Can the 4S be a mobile hotspot without jailbreaking it like the 4
Crazy how people were going crazy when apple announced the 4s..... now its the highest selling iphone ever
Getting mine in 18 days and counting!!!:D
Where's your hands on the new galaxy nexus
