Why else would you buy a phone?
Whats the point of having a Penta core processor on your phone if the OS is still going to lag on it. The iPhone is running at 800Mhz with 512Ram and is still smooth as ever.

Yes I bought my iPhone cause of the way it looks, I didn't like how the 3Gs looked so when the 4 came out i hoped right on it.,
But people buy iPhones because they don't need to do anything to get them to work. They are simple and do what you expect it to do when you expect it to do.
Looks count but so does everything else |

I didn't buy it for the Apple logo, I bought it (the 4) because its a good phone, and the fact that its a year old and still stands up to the GS2 is great.
And btw, its not called the iPhone 4 steve... the "s" stands for speed (i think), same as when the 3G was upgraded to the 3GS, same look, better insides.

Why does every thread about Apple have to be a comparison?
Apple is not better, Android is not better.
If you like how iOS is, good for you.
If you like how Android is, great.
It's like mobile operating systems and brands are the new religions, and everyone talking about them on the forums is a missionary.
iPhone 4, or the 4s are both great phones.
I use a SGS2, as I like the increased screen size, and I like fidgeting around and developing.
I, however, love the resolution, and app selection on the iPhone, but I have all the apps I could ever want or need on the Android Market.
People have preferences, relax, people.

The voice recognition on Siri seems really developed compared to what we're accustomed to. They're talking at a normal-to-fast pace, and not all words are properly articulated, and Siri still understands them properly. And the context recognition of Siri may really put this ahead of other voice recognition software.

Hmm...so apparently the 4S still only has 512mb of RAM. I wonder how the benchmark speeds compare to the other dual-core phones out there. |

iSuppli says "The fact that the iPhone 4S still uses only 512MB "highlights the efficiency of Apple's iOS operating system compared to those of competitive smartphones, which use twice as much "
Here's some benchmark tests:

From the comments on the article and general buzz on the net, those benchmarks are off for the Android phones (Using older OS version and older version of the test)

I don't see how anyone can argue that Siri is the same as every other voice recognition software. It may not be perfect but it is a huge step in the right direction. |

A real-world comparison of the SGS2 (6 months old) and the all new iPhone 4S:
http://www.smartphoneenvy.co m/appl...4s/#more-18544
Watch the videos.
Summary

The Galaxy S II is everything the iPhone 4S is and more. It’s quicker, better 1080p video capture, larger display, better browsing experience, faster at loading web pages, better for watching video, Swype, more attachments for messaging, the list goes on and on.

No but "better browsing experience" and "better for watching video" certainly are. |
