1. Set (the headphones are terrible, I'm used to earplugs)
2. Battery capacity - I like to surf the Internet and play, but it doesn’t last long. (thank God there is a charger in the car)
3. PRICE in Russia. I brought it from France, where the price was around 22 3 months after the start of sales, in Russia at that time the price was approximately 32 thousand rubles.
4. Screen size 3.5 inches plus and minus.

weak battery. and easily soiled. the price is not a drawback for me since I bought this phone in Europe for 20,000 rubles.

1. The price could be lower, but this is not even a drawback, because we all always want this or that product to be cheaper. I bought an iPhone in an online store, and, to be honest, I advise everyone to do just that, because the price is much lower and more adequate, but the quality is the same.
2. I had to think a little before I figured out how to set a normal ringtone for the call. If you want, you can do this, if anything, please contact me and I’ll tell you how. For me this is a real drawback, but the only one.
3. I don’t know if this is the case for all models, but my battery does not hold a charge very well. Somehow enough for a day. I'll try to buy a different battery in the future.

1 The only thing that scares me is that I’ll somehow drop and break the glass...after all, there have been such cases....but still there are films for the front and back panel(cases) all this will save your iPhone.

There are simply no global ones, and what is described below are just shortcomings:
1. Battery (the one and a half year old Nokia C7 even held a better charge). Often not enough for a day (you have to talk quite a lot on your cell phone, at least an hour a day + WiFi + GPS)
2. When completely discharged, you need to wait for a certain charge level; you won’t be able to turn it on right away. This is probably the main drawback for me, sometimes it “dies” during an important call and then I have to wait 10-15 minutes
3. the alarm clock won’t ring when the phone is turned off (it’s unusual at first, but then you set it and don’t worry)
4. no radio (but I personally didn’t use it when I had it on previous devices)
5. you can’t transfer a picture via Bluetooth from phone to phone (IMHO, too, an archaic function), but you won’t catch a virus either
6. well, I didn’t really like it

Back in 2011, the iPhone 4S smartphone went on sale. Its characteristics at that time were among the best, but now it is no longer a premium device. However, its hardware and software components allow you to easily solve most problems that are relevant today.

Smartphone hardware

The computing basis of the smartphone is the 2-core A5 chip. The clock frequency of each of them is 800 MHz. If such a CPU were installed on a device running Android, it would clearly not be enough for comfortable work. But Apple devices operate under iOS control, and this chip is enough for normal and smooth operation of the system. Of course, you won’t be able to fully experience the latest innovations of this platform on this smartphone, but for most everyday tasks it is quite enough. This includes watching movies, listening to music, and reading books - he can handle all of this without any problems.

Screen, cameras and graphics

The display of the iPhone 4S is quite modest by today's standards. Its characteristics are really not impressive. The display is based on a high-quality IPS matrix, the resolution of which is 640 by 960. Its diagonal is 3.5 inches. The image on the screen is not grainy, the picture quality is not satisfactory. But working on such a small display is not entirely convenient. There are two cameras on this gadget at once. The main one is based on an 8 megapixel sensor, which is enhanced by additional optical elements. The resulting photo quality is simply impeccable. The situation is similar with videos that are recorded in HD quality on this device. based on a 0.3 megapixel sensor. It is quite enough for making video calls. The connecting link of the graphics subsystem is the PowerVR SGX543MP2 video accelerator.

Memory

The memory subsystem in the iPhone 4S is organized in an interesting way. The characteristics of each smartphone of a given model may vary significantly. Each device may have a different amount of integrated memory, and its volume varies as follows: 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. How more capacity built-in storage, the more expensive the cost of the gadget, but at the same time the more functional the device becomes. The situation is much simpler with RAM (random access memory), the capacity of which in any case in the “4S” is 512 MB. The only thing that causes criticism is the lack of an installation slot external storage. But this is a “disease” not only of this model, but also of all devices that run iOS.

Housing and ergonomics

The iPhone 4S smartphone has an unusual appearance. Characteristics, instructions and user reviews indicate that aluminum and glass are combined in the body of the device. It is this decision by American engineers that sets the gadget apart from its competitors. Essentially, it has no analogues. The side edges are made of aluminum, and the front and back cover- from glass. Moreover, the entire front of the gadget is covered with impact-resistant “Gorilla Eye” glass. Otherwise, this is the same iPhone 4 of the previous generation, but with a more powerful CPU and an improved camera. Moreover, as noted earlier, its display diagonal is 3.5 inches, which means that operating it with one hand is not difficult.

Battery

The nominal battery capacity of this smartphone is 1432 mAh. It is integrated into the iPhone 4S. The description, characteristics and reviews of gadget owners indicate that one charge is enough for 2-3 days with an average level of use. But if the phone is used to the maximum, then you can count on 1 day battery life. On the one hand, the build quality of the smartphone is not satisfactory. But if the battery fails, it will be problematic to replace it yourself.

Software

As noted earlier, as a systemic software iOS is used for the iPhone 4S. Characteristics and reviews indicate that this is a well-tested system, the functioning of which raises no complaints. It immediately has everything you need for work. If something is not included in the basic package, then the necessary software can be easily installed from the Apple application store, and you can even find free programs.

Communications

The iPhone 4S has an impressive set of interfaces. Characteristics and reviews from gadget owners highlight the following:

Full support for all networks mobile communications 2nd and 3rd generation.
Built-in CDMA communication module.
Wi-Fi allows you to transfer information at speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s when connected to the Internet.
You can use Bluetooth to exchange small files, as well as to connect a wireless headset.
Wired port for connecting to a PC and for charging the battery.
3.5 mm audio port for connecting a wired stereo headset to a smartphone.
A ZhPS transmitter is also integrated into the device, which allows you to easily turn this device into a full-fledged navigator.

The only problem is the lack of support for 4th generation networks. But at the time of the device’s release, they were not yet available, and installing such a radio module at that time was not entirely advisable.

iPhone is a series of smartphones developed by the world-famous Apple corporation. iPhone 4s, the characteristics of which are superior in many ways to their predecessors. What innovations have occurred in developments?

iPhone 4S received a faster processor, an improved camera, a virtual assistant Siri, which replaced Voice Control and doubled the volume internal memory compared to its predecessor. However, first things first.

iPhone 4s, characteristics: dimensions and body

iPhone 4s is not great overall dimensions, which is very convenient when using a smartphone: the height is 115.2 mm, the width is 58.6 mm and the thickness is only 9.3 mm. The weight of the phone is only 140 g. The iPhone has a classic case, made of steel or glass.

The iPhone 4s is presented by the manufacturer in white and black. The role of the antenna in the phone is performed by a metal edging on the side of the smartphone.

On the right side of the smartphone there is a slot for a SIM card, access to which is carried out with a special clip that comes with the phone.

On the top there is an audio jack, a microphone and an on/off button, which is also responsible for locking the phone.

At the bottom end of the phone there is an opening for the interface cable, next to it there is a speaker and a microphone.

iPhone 4s, characteristics: processor

The updated iPhone model uses the Apple A5 processor from the iPad 2. The processor used in the iPhone 4s was manufactured by the world famous company Samsung. This processor is made using a 45 nm process, like many processors for iPhones.

The A5 processor measures 16.7 x 14.3 mm larger than its predecessor A4 14.1 x 14.1 mm. The processor for iPhone 4s uses two cores ARM Cortex A9.

The A5 processor can change core frequencies depending on the applications used. This ensures an increase in the speed of the smartphone. Which is a big plus for the phone. But there are also disadvantages - in the processor used for the iPhone 4S, in fact, based on benchmarks, the frequency is 894 MHz.

The graphics in this processor are very high level, which will satisfy the needs of the most demanding users. The dual-core GRUPjwerVRSGX543MP2 from Imagination Technologies is used.

Random access memory 512 MB, made using the well-known Low Power DDR2 technology. The RAM of some A5 processor models has been manufactured by Samsung, and some models were manufactured by Elpida Memori.

iPhone 4s characteristics: display and sound

When released, the iPhone 4s was equipped with the same display as its predecessor, the iPhone 4. This is an IPS matrix. The display diagonal is 3.5 inches with a resolution of 640x960 pixels and a density of 330 ppi.

The iPhone has a smooth and clear image due to the relatively small screen diagonal and such a high resolution. Individual pixels are not visible at all. The color rendition of the iPhone 4s display is more characterized by warm shades.

The iPhone is capable of displaying 16 million colors. This iPhone model has automatic screen rotation, which is very convenient when using the phone.

The display has a multi-touch function, which allows you to reduce or enlarge the image on the screen with your fingers without going into special settings. During a conversation, the proximity sensor commands the backlight to turn off to avoid accidental clicks.

The screen is equipped with an oleophorb protective coating, which prevents scratches.
The iPhone has excellent sound quality, especially with headphones. It sounds much better than the Galaxy S II.

iPhone 4s, characteristics: software

Manufacturers used iPhone 4s as operating system iOS 5. It was released on October 12, 2011. Compared to earlier versions, iOS 5 already has new system notifications.

When using this system, messages appear on the lock screen as a list. From this list you can find out which calls were missed, and you can also see new messages and posts from social networks.

Another useful feature has appeared - the so-called “newsstand”. Using this function, you can receive information on publications you have subscribed to.

Twitter has moved into many applications in iOS Apple, including the camera - now you can publish messages on Twitter and accompany them with various photographs. Another one new feature“Reading List”, which Apple also calls “read text later”.

We also updated the camera application. Now there is a shutter button on the lock display, due to which you can now quickly take pictures without unlocking the phone itself.

But the developers didn’t stop there and figured out how to use one of the volume control keys in the form of a shutter button in the camera and added the ability to edit photos directly in the camera application.

A feature has appeared in iOS called “PC Free” - this means that Apple will provide software updates for its iOS devices through cellular network(OTA) and you can update your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch without any wires or connecting to a PC or Mac.

A new product from Apple is also the introduction of a messaging service between iOS users called iMessage. That is, you can send a message to your friend's iPad or iPod touch, much the same way you send a text message from your iPhone.

The most unique feature of the iPhone 4S is Siri - it's not just voice control, but a voice-controlled personal assistant. Only for now, unfortunately, this function only supports English.

iPhone 4s, characteristics: multimedia capabilities

The iPhone 4s has an 8 megapixel camera with an extension of 3264x2448 and an LED flash. The main camera has photo focus and face detection. In the upper right corner of the screen when working with the camera there is a button, when pressed, the front camera is activated.

New to the camera interface is the ability to shoot using the volume button. The iPhone has an HDR effect, which is configured so that pictures are saved in the album and in in the usual form, and in HDR quality. Switching between photo and video mode, as before, can be done directly in the camera menu.

Considered mobile phone capable of supporting video formats: MPEG-4, H.264, AirPlay on AppleTV with resolutions up to 720p. You can delete videos directly in the player - this is very convenient and allows you to quickly get rid of unnecessary things.

Video recording is also possible. The maximum video extension is 1920x1080 with a maximum video frame rate of 30 fps. Geo Tagging is also available.

The front camera has 0.3 megapixels. The smartphone supports WAV, MP3, AAC. The phone has a built-in voice recorder, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a TV-out.

iPhone, 4s characteristics: equipment

Included in the package USB cable, block charger, stereo headphones, paperclip and headphones, instruction manual. The entire set is packed in a branded white cardboard box.

In conclusion, I would like to say once again: Apple has done it again! She has created a unique device that they can be proud of and that competitors can safely follow.

Today we will talk about Apple smartphones that continue to excite modern world. The Apple review 4S we will start with a short introduction.

So, new smartphone from Apple, in three days from the start of sales, it broke all conceivable and unimaginable records - about 4.5 million iPhone 4S were sold. In this article we will try to find out why Apple’s new product has become so attractive to customers. The price of the iPhone 4S was quite high, but this did not stop people around the world. Maybe it's the excellent camera, or maybe it's the high performance devices? Let's try to talk about everything in order.

So let's start with appearance. Apple iPhone 4S has minimal differences from old version iPhone 3G. The device consists of two glass sheets, which are united by a metal frame. But upon closer examination, small differences begin to emerge: the metal edging is now divided into four parts, and the control buttons on the side surface have shifted slightly.

The size of the device is 115.2x58.6x9.3 mm, and the weight is 140 g.

On the front surface of the device there is touch screen, and on the back there is a camera with a flash, so there are no innovations here.

The Apple iPhone 4S was assembled at a fairly good level: there are no creaks or backlashes during operation. But it’s still worth noting a few details: after a week of use, signs began to appear on the smartphone’s body. small scratches, so it is advisable to put the iPhone in a case; there is also a problem with the volume control button sticking out. But the problems voiced were in the first games, now, probably, the situation has changed for the better.

The smartphone is available in two colors – white and black.

Performance and Software

The iPhone 4S is powered by a dual-core Apple A5 processor, which has clock frequency 800 MHz. The device has 512 MB of RAM.
