Using the iPhone 4S, 10 Years Later - Review & Retrospective

[@91Tech]

--- I forgot the link to the framed 4S from GRID, it's in the description now, or you can find it here - gridstudio.cc/products/grid%C2%AE4s Whew, another hour long upload! Apologies for the delay in-between videos lately. I'm going to be taking a break from long-form content for a while- I really enjoy it but it's insanely time-consuming. We'll definitely have more in the future though... and lots of other great stuff! But for now, Merry Christmas, and I'll see you all next time!

[@boussIRL]

Take as much time as you need, but I'll definitely be looking forward to your future content :)

[@DropAnything]

how did you get the battery percentage to show on ios 6 i cant figure it out

[@DekuScrub_]

As an android guy, the 4S will always be my favourite iPhone. Everything about it is just peak iPhone to me, the design, the square home button, the introduction of Siri, the skeuomorphic design of iOS 5/6, I could go on and on and whilst it's mostly nostalgia, i really miss the days when Apple actually felt innovative and unique.

[@skipandslide]

they still are innovative, just not the first who innovate, if that makes sense

[@edddie7563]

Apple has been the most innovative when it comes to their cpus more than any company in the last 10 years. Although in other areas they are stagnant.

[@DekuScrub_]

@@skipandslide Oh yeah I definitely get what you're saying (like i am so jealous of photo widgets and being able to change your app icons)

[@9852323]

Mine was the 3GS

[@jamesdriver0317]

I had a resource room teacher in 2017 who still used the iPhone 4s, I’m sure he has a newer iPhone now, but thinking back at it it’s crazy how he used it on iOS 9 when iOS 11 wasn’t out yet, but iOS 10 was. iOS 9 kinda ruined my iPad 2.

[@txe1nd]

Wow

[@zackstaa7826]

iPhones will last a long time as long as you take care of them, the battery will wear out but it’s pretty inexpensive to get the battery replaced. But if apple discontinues batteries for certain models, I would not get the battery replaced. Non OEMs are known to cause usability issues and can even brick the phone permanently

[@cujoedaman]

We get customers in that still use 4/4S phones and they're always the ones complaining that they can't seem to get anything to work (when it comes to online orders and in-store pickups). I'm all for making sure I get my use out of something, but there's a point where you have to move on.

[@zackstaa7826]

Still have mine, even after upgrading up to the 13. This phone was the coolest thing since toilet paper back when it first dropped, I‘ll never forget how much fun I had with the 4 & 4s. 👌

[@PointyEndUpFlameyEndDown]

The 2011-12 commercials for this phone are absolutely nostalgic. I vaguely remember some of them.

[@JazawaToad]

The 4S was my first iPhone, back when the 5s was the main. It was such an awesome phone, and I was so happy to have it. I used it for many years, making sure not to update it when I heard it started slowing it down. My next upgrade was the first SE that released, and my mind was blown with how much better that phone was. I still have that phone in a drawer and it works, but the battery decayed after so many years of use. I eventually got a used 8 Plus that I still use to this day (I've said this in your comments several times before, before anyone calls me out) and besided needing a battery replacement, its pretty much perfect still. I wouldn't trade it for anything currently.

[@josebarroso2184]

I got the first SE 32Gb as my first iPhone, and now I own an iPhone XS 64Gb. Love it! And the original apple Silicone case is the best, makes the perfect grip and protection is very good

if your trying to save money then that’s fine keep that phone, but the difference compared to the iphones now is crazy, I love my iphone 13 pro max

[@syd5099]

Both of my parents had an iPhone 4s. And I remembered playing with siri all the time because it was the coolest thing ever! I also remembered ios 5 and 6. Those give me the most nostalgia. And it's weird to belive that's it's been 10 years when it really doesn't feel like it

[@ariesleo7396]

First thing's first: this was my first iPhone, though not my first iOS device. I'm glad there's now a documentary out about it :) Thank you! And secondly, thank you for picking a really cool sponsor. I've been looking for a card like this for ages. My credit's fine, I just want the rewards of credit without having to worry about making payments for every little purchase I make

[@garethvw9262]

The 4s was my first iPhone, brings back many memories, coming from a blackberry at the time it was amazing how premium, fast and useful it was compared to the latter plastic brick, it hooked me onto iOS even to this day.

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

I upgraded from a 4 to the 4S. They both felt fantastic, but the 4S felt very very durable. I should have kept it. I have my 14PM now. I love the bigger screen, and at 8” I still wouldn’t mind another inch bigger screen and battery.

[@emre6397]

Wait you still use iphone 4s?

[@therealdaniel901]

I remember when I was younger, I was at grand central station and my family and I went to the apple store within the station. I remember looking at a white iPhone 4s on display and absolutely falling for the device, so much so that I begged my parents for so long for that phone. I never got the phone, but after a few years, I bought a used 4s in white just to have as a display piece. To this day, it is one of the most gorgeous devices I had ever looked at.

[@young_bunnyhop5208]

i remember being at disneyland and seeing someone with a white iphone 4s and was taken back because i didnt know there was a white variant.

[@mr_ice117]

The iPhone 4 and 4s were my two favorite iPhones ever. Never felt the same for any iPhone before or since. Also those same years that this phone came out represent some awesome years for me so cant help but feel a punch to the gut when i look back

[@MisterTwisterWX]

Love the design of the phone! This man is amazing!

[@Clodd1]

It was my first iPhone (I still keep it). The design still holds up, when you grab in your hands it still feels good. Really high end device.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

This was my first iPhone, i had Sprint and up until the iPhone 4s was released iPhone was exclusive to cingular (AT&T) the iPhone was so amazing coming from a Nextel. It will always have a special place in my heart and in my opinion has the best looking design and feel of any iPhone of its era, way better than the 6 with its rounded edges. When they finally brought back the flat sides on the iPhone 12 I was so happy. The iPhone 14 is perfect for me, like if the iPhone 4 and X combined.

[@Garrettdx1988]

[@adithyas1091]

Hey my first iPhone! Absolutely loved this thing. I used to read comics, whole novels and also watched movies on this thing!

[@unidentifiedwight]

This was my first iPhone, and I remember being so amazed by it. Back then you could surf the net on your phone, yes, but it wasn't anything like doing it on the iPhone, because it's got a larger screen and faster performance. And that modern look!! I loved it very much.

[@upwit13]

My first iPhone! Purchased in December 2011. I always look back fondly at it

[@kadoharp]

[@stevennovakovich2525]

Worked for Nokia from 1997 thru 2006. I got to work on Nokia's 2G GPRS mobile wireless network portfolio. Used Nokia's cellphones back then...then moved on to Android after that. I purchased my first iPhone at the beginning of June 2022. Purchased the iPhone SE 2022 (3rd gen) and I absolutely adore it! Looking forward to the iPhone 14 'group' of phones to be released in late summer of 2022 sometime.

[@ItsAtakan24]

I was used to this phone whole 2020. In the end of 2020 I finally bought a new phone. So that was the last phone that I used second hand. Seriously I had used to second hand phones between 2017 to 2020. Actually I really liked to use this phone. Because I really like the aesthetic of late 2000's and early 10's. I've had one problem and that is the WiFi problem which is not rare problem. In the time that I used this phone I didn't used with WiFi. It's just connected WiFi one at time and it lasted in 5 minutes. In this time I bought myself a Better Call Saul melody (It's still there :D). The weird thing is when my grandma used this phone before me, she can connect the WiFi. Good video Josh!

[@jo100]

Rest In Peace Steve Jobs, when the iPhone 4s came out, I was using my Black Berry phone I got in 2008, my first IPhone 📲 was the iPhone 5c.

[@9852323]

Since iPhones don’t change as much as they used to I think they should bring back the S models. The small changes nowadays don’t warrant a whole number change. But I think it’s a psychological thing, when normal non tech people see a whole new number they think it’s a vastly new or redesigned phone and are more likely to buy it than if it were just called the iPhone 13s.

I have an iPhone 4S. It had iOS 9.3.5 but I was able to downgrade it to iOS 6.1.3 and also jailbreak it so that I could install more apps on it. To me, it's my favorite iPhone design. Steve Jobs was a very intelligent man and thanks to him we have the technology of smartphones we have today.

Siri was severely under-implemented much to the detriment of a good friend of mine who tried to use it while succumbing to the horrible effects of ALS. They really should have handcuffed some of their designers and forced them to use the phones by voice alone until that experience is acceptable. A lot of nasty edge cases where the phone would be softlocked from a voice only perspective when finishing a call and a few other situations.
