iPhone 4S vs iPhone 4 Tech Specs

Updated on Jul 23, 2013 by Tuan Do


Finally, the new generation of iPhone has gone to life yesterday in the Apple Fall event in Cupertino. Many people expected this would be a innovation in design and tech specs of iPhone, however, they were disappointed as there were no significant changes in the release. And with no iPhone 5 introduced to wow consumers, Apple stock lost as much as 5% after the iPhone 4S announcement.

This is really a big letdown for all, Apple, Tim Cooks and consumers but to be fair, iPhone 4S is still a good phone to buy if you haven’t got iPhone 4. The improvements of iPhone 4S over its predecessor are important ones and still can make iPhone 4S one of the best smartphones on the market.

Let’s go in depth and compare the tech specs of iPhone 4S and iPhone 4.

    You seems to have some spelling error here. It’s not “Apple Fall event” but “Apple Fail event”

    It was interesting to see all the hype leading up to the event and then see the huge letdown afterwords. I guess Apple has set the bar too high for them this year in terms of introducing new technology.

    I’m sure the iPhone isn’t far off, and perhaps the iPhone 4s is a filler phone.

      Hi Paul, I think it is not Apple but iFans are expecting too much from iPhone. The situation is much different now as iPhone’s competitors are much stronger and Apple must be busy filing patent lawsuits against them. The new feature Siri personal assistant is a possible savior this time but it hasn’t been completed yet. Apple should have a better iPhone 5 or consumers will leave iPhone soon.

      Thanks very much for letting me know, Alvin. That’s because the ad is automatically placed after image and it broke the layout. I’ve fixed it. :)
