The iphone 4S Has been released. You may be wondering if it is worth it to upgrade if you have the iphone 4. Well that will be a matter of opinion mostly, but here is a few things I will point out. Also I will give my opinion.
First i'd like to say...First iphone I ever bought at retail price...the iphone 4S. Yes I did buy it. And to add to it...I have been the most loyal blackberry fan ever. I still am a fan. But I decided I will give the new iPhone a shot.
I have used a few iphone 4's before the iphone 4S. But I never owned one. The first thing about the iphone 4 was that there was plenty of other phones with better cameras .Also the operating system to me was a let down since it didn't offer much more as in features. However the iphone 4S at the moment in my opinion has the best camera I have seen on a smartphone. the 8 Megapixel camera made by Sony is exceptional for picture taking. As well as the 1080P video recording is great for many applications like youtube and facebook. It almost eliminates the need to have a traditional point and shoot camera that costs $200 or less. Of course the high end point and shoot cams are better but most people have regular joe camera's.
Now before I continue I'd like to add that just because the camera I wouldn't upgrade from iphone 4 to the 4s. I'd wait for the 5. But if you are someone that relies on picture taking and video on your phone then yes the switch just on that is worth it.
The A5 Processor is considerably faster and I have had the chance to test the 2 phones side by side and in the 4S does everything faster. Almost everything anyways.
SIRI!
I actually love siri. I will do a whole post on siri alone shortly .As well as video demonstration.
It is awesome and I use it daily. I think so far my favorite feature is the reminders app coupled with siri. I can remember things now!. People tell me something that I need to remember. I just use siri and tell it to remind me periodically or at a specific time. It's awesome. but anyways I will review siri later on its own because its alot to talk about.
This is just a short post but in conclusion I think...if you are happy with the iPhone 4 it is NOT worth the upgrade. Just wait for the 5. If you are disapointed in the camera and speeds and really want siri then yes be my guest and get the 4S. IF you a 3GS or lower. Definatly a good time to upgrade. You won't be disapointed.
