I was stubborn about going to a smart phone for a long time but just had to do it at this point. I asked several friends about iPhone vs. Android phones and chose the iPhone based on the level of enthusiasm of other Baby Boomers. I am still learning basics after two weeks, but I'm not shy about asking other iPhone users to teach me. One-at-a-time learning is working and everyone is eager to help. The phone is not as "instinctive" as everyone claims. I've never had a smart phone and so the leap from a standard flip phone to this is a chasm. I miss one-button dialing without looking down at the phone. Everything is more than one step and in my car, that is just dangerous. However, my new car likes this phone a whole lot better so calling people from my car is much easier, more reliable and better audio. New cars apparently don't like old phones.... I am sure within a few weeks I will be an iPhone major fan, but the learning curve is steep for someone like me. I bought the phone, used, from a highly reputable human being and the Verizon store set it up in ten minutes. It took another call to their tech group to get my work email working properly, but I expected that. Saving major dollars on a used, clean ESN iPhone4s was a good move. I lost out to about 4 phones before getting mine, but I persisted and am glad I did.Read full review
Phone had ear phone piece jammed into ear jack upon receipt and only worked for calls on speaker phone. After first review company did offer refund/replacement. Person who received it from me is away in college and went to a phone repair place and paid $40 to fix it otherwise would have returned for refund. Company did respond and try to make good and am aware that sometimes things get missed.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This is my first iPhone and I love it. To be honest I probably could have gotten the iPhone 4 and been just as satisfied. I hardly use Siri. I am coming from a Droid 2 and this is what I like: iPhone 4s is wayy faster; much easier to type on; touch response is instantaneous; shutter speed is the fastest I've seen on a phone; the apps don't kill my battery; the camera is better even than my boyfriends new android phone- we compared front facing camera in low light and his was all dark and mine was actually pretty bright. Things I'd change- I don't really know yet, maybe an additional slot for more memory but ingot the 64gb so I am not having that Problem yet
It's an Apple phone which means it's not as simple as it should be, though it's smaller than most Smartphone, which is a plus. I'm not use to all the features and apps available since I went directly from a flip-phone to a Smartphone and there isn't an instruction booklet. I hate the fact I can't just make a phone call without going through 6 steps or click-and-drag throughout the different windows. Drives me nuts, along with navigating (how do I delete a photograph without deleting all them?) In my Phone Book and Favorites, why can't the names be listed alphabetically automatically by the first letter instead of all them in an erratic order? Battery life is fine, but for what I paid for this phone, I wish I "got what I paid for". Please, someone tell me how to change the touch keys from silent to tone and vice-verse.Read full review
Excellent product. IPhone works good. It has a lot of info on it and easily accessed. Contains a lot of aps and features. I love my iPhone 4s.
It's an Apple product so the features and usage of the phone should be expectantly different from that of an Android. I must admit that when I purchased my first one last year, I was shell shocked. Which product is better? I think that question is for the user to decide. I personally believe that each brand has it's own advantages along with a handful of disadvantages. I will say that battery life is a strong advantage of the iPhone.
We love our Iphones. We have tried many other Android phones and they all have glitches that really seem to overpower the features for us. The Iphone has been reliable and we have had a few since I kept trading to try new Androids. I don't like being tied to Itunes and all the rules Apple applies, but these phones have been the most reliable of the 15 or so phones on the market I have tried. Good signal, good sound, great music player and ease of use. Siri is the most important for me (when it works due to limited data signal inside my work building) so I can reply to texts while keeping my hands free to do my job (I wear headphones with a mic to reply and have texts read to me).
I think Apple products are overpriced, but the iPhone is a really nice, easy phone to use. You're paying for the Apple name anyway, I guess. I bought it because I needed a new phone (my old android was dying) and I have all my other devices as Apple so I figured why not. The 4S is not that great of a phone. It's kind of hard to hear a lot of the time so you need to use a headset or headphones. But other than that it functions exactly like you'd expect the iPhone to, takes good enough pictures, and is a nice, basic phone.
I love it! Great phone compared to my last phone this phone is awesome. I bought this phone because my previous phone which was a LG Revolution wasn't a very reliable phone battery life was crappy and phone was too big to carry around. What I like about this phone is the features and the battery life is good. it's a neat phone to have for videos and pictures especially music. what I don't like about this phone is I can't tell if it's backed up or not I don't know how to check. This product is better then any other phone I purchased got my monies worth.
love my new phone, fast, has tons of space for all my apps. The ease of use for face time or skype is unreal. batter life is great as long as you mange what stays constantly running and what doesnt. Love the touch keyboard and the camera quality is amazing. never going back to droids again!
