iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 4S - 13 Years Later 🤣Let's see the massive differences more than 10 years make for your iPhone experience! Share your thoughts and enjoy the episode :)

[@b2editsun]

Next, please do with iPhone SE (2016) 1st gen.

[@Stevenbrownx11]

What a crazy change, even in accessories they have maintained an impeccable aesthetic line.

[@pondbrad47]

Broo totally, I recently got one that reminds me of the 4 era, a leather Vionentus Elite Series

[@Stevenbrownx11]

Awesome bro!

[@Ikram232]

Everyone who saying he running out of ideas, what else do you want him to do? He’s covered all speed tests with current and last gen phones and no one else is gonna do these fun comparisons.

[@nickackermanchannel]

These are fun I’m never out of ideas don’t listen to those people. I have so much content ideas it could last a lifetime 😀

[@whiteshark2060]

You’re the only one saying that dude

[@LilacHeather]

@@nickackermanchannel Could you do a punch test on the 16 Plus VS 16 Pro Max

[@elicoptere7582]

​@@nickackermanchannelcan you do speed test of the new vivo x200 pro against the s24 ultra and iphone 16 pro max ?

[@Mamerto.]

i remember my 4s was DOG SLOW, completely unusable. If you compare a xs with a 16 pro is night and day compared with how we had to suffer in the past 😂

[@sweden0012]

iPhone XS is still usable on iOS18 and is decently fast(from my experience, I've owned 13 pro and XS at the same time, of course XS is slower but they do everything the same and there is no night and day for me though)

[@bhavdeeprehal8827]

Crazy how 4s to xs is similar length of time from xs to 16 pro

[@GatCat]

I remember my iPhone 4s being crazy fast. Compared to everything else on the market.

[@shiftto]

just that time of 4s, new ios release will make iphones/ipad slow down to even cannot use

[@newsuperbowserworld]

iOS 9 did that.

[@segunthepikachufan1470]

If only the 4s didn't get iOS 9 which crippled it's performance for it's final update

[@alizo3]

you're the type of person who just cuts to the chase and says things as they are , thank you

[@akasam5278]

What’s interesting is I have a mint 4s on iOS 6 and it performs so much better than iOS 9. Same with an iPhone X I have one running iOS 12 and while it can’t download much apps anymore it’s much faster than on iOS 16. I think these older devices did get bogged down with updates. It’s funny how we have the same amount of RAM on iPhones now as storage back then.

[@That.One_Luke]

I agree, i got my iphone 7 plus and it’s on ios 12, it’s much faster, apps are okay, jailbreak helps a lot and it doesn’t overheat at all unlike iphone 7 on ios 15

[@george2812]

Man, a massive thanks to you for coming up with the idea of comparing newer phones with older ones. It's really fun and I appreciate it. Much love ❤

[@nickackermanchannel]

Glad you like them!

[@Dillvn]

I still have my iPhone 4s from high school. Still turns on and running iOS 6

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

I think it’s best you left it on iOS 6 cause iOS 7 really made it quite slow but it was still usable. It was iOS 8 and iOS 9 that really killed the 4S.

[@Dillvn]

@@Adamtendo_player_1 yeah i never plan to update it or even connect it to wifi again because i don’t want any apps to refresh. I like to leave it stuck in time. I can still scroll down twitter, facebook, mail etc from its last refresh over 10 years ago.

[@JoZibi]

The iPhone 4S was my first iPhone and now I got the 16 Pro! 😁 Loved the 4S, iconic device in the golden era.

[@sidneysamuels5755]

I love these comparisons of the older iPhones to the current one. Keep it up, Nick!

[@RideOnTimePH]

the iphone 4 style is still beautiful especially on the sides. ios 9 is a pain on that s though. the phones that aged well are the 6s & first SE.

[@TheUncleSpiderX]

The phone design is kinda similar just way bigger n more lens

[@slim56]

I wish they would go back to the round volume buttons and put the power button back on the top. I’m constantly taking screen shots when adjusting the volume

[@Invid72]

Still have my 4S in white. Couldn't bear to sell it because it's probably my favourite iPhone design aside from the size. It's just a beautiful piece of hardware.

[@SHANTANUBHARGAVA62]

The only youtuber who is making speed tests i always wanted. Keep up man 👍👍

[@RaghavVijay]

Nick back with the most high quality, enjoyable and yet super unique content yet again!!-The 4S design is still one of the best in my opinion for sure, Performance still impressive for the time!-Otherwise Absolutely love your content Nick-Keep it up!

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Awesome content and video comprision as always bro

[@nickackermanchannel]

Thanks bro appreciate it! 👌🏻

[@BigSmoke2.20]

4s was my first phone and it's still my favourite iPhone design

[@XionLuis]

iphone 4S is still my favourite iPhone, even after all this time. Too bad iOS 9 crippled it badly.

[@Yt_ShadowBannedme]

That’s crazy! When it was released in 2011, I didn’t really realize how small it was. Looking at it now, you would’ve thought it was a toy phone. 😂😂

[@purppington]

Thank God, I now feel like it's finally safe to upgrade. Thanks Nick!

[@Arsalan_2210]

BRO this was such a fun Video! haha love it :) Thanks for making such content. I don't think many KZbinrs make such type of content.

[@abz7800]

that video and camera on the 4 looks shockingly good . if you told me that was from a phone 13yr ago i wouldn't believe you

[@-SDegirmenci]

Is there a difference in read and write speed between the iPhone 16 Pro 256GB and 1TB memory?

[@techultron_etron]

It is definitely a steal 😅😂

[@ZachariahSaul]

6s vs iPhone 16 . could be interesting aton 0f people still use the 6s

[@sivileklassen]

When that iPhone 4s came out I was 10 years old at that time damn! Nick is bringing back the old days 😅😂

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Oh man, this is gonna be a fun one and the iPhone 4S it’s particularly nostalgic for me because it was my very first iPhone back in 2013 so this is definitely gonna be a fun one for me to watch, cause we know that the forest if it’s on at least iOS 6 then I think the 4S could hold its own latest version of iOS well I think we know there will only be one winner but these speed tests just for fun and nothing more anyway great comparison as always Nick and a special one for me as it’s my first ever iPhone versus my current iPhone.

[@purplelexus5399]

Lol, I love this video! I still have the original iphone SE. It was my first iphone I bought from switching from Android. I've been on an iphone since then.

[@KorvaxChris]

I, for one, appreciate these retro comparisons.

[@lakerskid2013]

I never had a 4S but I had the 4 as my first smartphone (my first 3 phones were from Verizon, basic phones before I switched to Straight Talk) and it was one my dad gave me that he was no longer using as he upgraded to the 5. The one I had was on its last legs as the battery life was so bad that I would be easily at 10-20% even under light usage after a 12 hour shift on the first job I had. The sounds wouldn’t work unless it was calls and the alarms alongside the Wifi never connecting so I had to be on data all the time. I remember having to be so careful with how much I was even on the Internet and looking through my emails, not doing it too often or else my high speed data would run out and slow down to 2G.

[@berkay6947]

Do you really think we are gonna watch your every iPhone 16 vs. X comparison? Well, you are right.

[@AudioRamblings]

Just upgraded to iPhone 16 pro max from the original iPhone SE (2016) model which was an upgrade from the iPhone 4S. I am blown away by 16 pro max as it simply beats the SE in every single respect apart from pocket ability! I see a lot of negative stuff said about the iPhone 16 as I think expectations have become far too high. I feel there are less and less big jumps in new design/technology to be had year to year but the current 16 pro max is a stunning device in its own right. It will be interesting to see where Apple will go in the next few years but I may wait another 8 years to upgrade and get that big wow factor again in 2031!😀

[@TheOtherKine]

I'm still using my 4S, I kept it as i cracked one of the corners a little bit. But I use it as an iPod, it works perfectly fine.

[@fraichot]

Merci!

[@taylorguillory1563]

Can you please do iPhone 16 vs 6s? As well as the 16 plus vs 8 plus? Would love to watch them!

[@jakedunlap8809]

The iPhone has come a long way! The iPhone 4s was my first iPhone. I really enjoyed it but when I started upgrading each new phone would purchase was better than the previous generation. I usually upgrade two or three years.

[@DenzelVelasquez-tb6kz]

I would like more videos like that I like these videos you're very nostalgic I like these videos make more please

[@iElfenoir]

Please do a 16 pro vs 6 plus 10 years later Iphone 6 was my first apple phone❤

[@CFC_44]

Just ordered my white iPhone 16 pro 1tb!! Downgrading in size this year!

[@planetminecraft411]

Another amazing comparison video 😂! Keep it coming, Nick. iPhone 16 Pro Max vs iPhone 5 next...

[@nickackermanchannel]

😂 il bring some more retro comparisons soon :)

[@Mrehji]

i love you for this.

[@gogovideo10]

The pricing there is totally off, that had to be the price with the carrier deal. I remember at the time, iPhones were still exclusive to certain carriers and couldn't just be bought in any random tech store unless they were second hand. My sister had an iPhone 4s, I went with her to buy it. She bought it outright on the o2 network, and it was €499 in the 8GB variant. Absolutely silly money for a phone at the time, given that android alternatives were half the price. Now, €1000+ phones have almost become standard.

[@stress.relief]

wish this comparison was done with an ios 5 iphone 4s cuz that thing was a BEAST on ios5

[@nickackermanchannel]

Yeah it got slower with later updates

[@wellingtonrodrigues7457]

My first iPhone was the 4, I was very happy with it!! I sold it for a good price!!

[@abirtiwari6934]

Nick is now just playing w us 💀😭

[@michaelsadek4449]

it is just crazy to think what it would be like if Steve was still alive !!!! it would probably be eye simulating screen with no pixels !!

[@ravindrazine2797]

iPhone 4S is the best looking iPhone till date 👍

[@nickackermanchannel]

Love it

[@Nokia305-x3u]

I rly expect this vid to happen since my 4S is gone now

[@ratanasorn8080]

How did we survive on that 3.5 inch screen? 😐

[@nickackermanchannel]

We were more into portability back then and we didn't rely on our phones back then!

[@neharaj_97]

Please compare iPhone 16 pro Max and iPad pro 2024

[@seanlacroix]

I have a 16 pro max and I can totally see a difference between it and the 15 pro max with the bezels.

[@joemilamador3761]

Can you compare iphone 16 pro max to iPhone 11 pro max. Thank you nick!

[@subhanssss]

Would love to see a comparison between the Iphone 12 mini and the 16 pro max

[@StanislavHayduk]

Nick, it would have been a good comparison if iphone 4s was on iOS 6. It flies on it.

[@GregoryPunzo]

This would be a funny video series if you reviewed every single older iphone to the current model 😂 Imagine all that extra revenue every year!

[@ValentinG23]

The 4s is such great looking phone 😍😍

[@wantikjasonchiu4711]

there would not have been a better comparison of the two phones, if apple did not revisit the original design from the iPhone 4S with the flat sides and the flat back

[@WorldwideCycloneTracking2024]

How bout videos on the lowest budget iPhones )like SE’s) vs the pros?

[@nickackermanchannel]

I had that one in mind as well! Will see if I can get around to it soon!

[@JoshQ-mc4bb]

The iphone 4 is the size phones should be. Portable and comfortable to keep in a pocket

[@SKKRRR-tz2vc]

it's insane how smooth iphone 4s runs 13 years later. i bet if you make a video iphone 4s vs samsung same generation like 4s, iphone will win.

[@S-1_24-25]

I can’t believe that the 4s is already 13

[@wellingtonrodrigues7457]

Meu primeiro iPhone foi o 4, fiquei muito feliz com ele!! Vendi ele por um bom preço!!

[@Rinnara21]

Eu tive o 3G, o 4 e o 5. Daí passei pra Android por anos e voltei pro iOS ano passado com o 15 pro max 😊

[@SKKRRR-tz2vc]

first we had big phones like a brick. then we wanted small more comfortable and now we have big phones again because we enjoy the big screens.

[@ilmusiciano]

I love this phone…

[@Themayseffect]

Funny you mentioned the 13 mini. That phone is still almost a half an inch bigger than the 4s lol. Phones use to be so small 😭.

[@promo2099]

13 Mini is also a physically larger phone apart from just having drastically thinner bezels, 4s makes 13 Mini not a mini phone lol

[@N3tigen]

iPhone 4s Lovely black with boxy body

[@aphonecollectorinvietnam]

iOS 9 experience on the 4S is so MISERABLE 😢

[@EliteGamingRevolution]

The 4s was insanely fast on iOS 5 and iOS 6. It was iOS 7 that turned it into a slow laggy POS

[@RonnieRockafella]

I've always been an Android guy but when I met my girl 10yrs ago she was still rocking a 4s then she got a 6s plus then 12 and now she's still rocking a 13

[@lakerskid2013]

My first smartphone was an iPhone 4 and the other ones I’ve owned have been the 5S and 6 before having my current 8 Plus the past four years. I’m about to upgrade to a 15 so I’m preparing for major changes. I bet she probably felt the same way going from a 6S all the way up to a 12

[@mohdniyaaas]

bro be testing anything🤣🙏

[@nickackermanchannel]

Actually no I'm doing a nostalgic revisit as people enjoyed the iPhone 1 revisit the other day 🤣

[@Kaushal_13_]

Please do the same with samsung

[@adrontisin]

Bro that is not fair 😂

[@elene2000]

iPhone 4s is better for its price 😂

[@ExploracionesInexplicables]

while is true that is significantly slower you must take into account that this phone was well known as purposely slowed down by apple on ios 9 even back at the time people was complaining

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

The 4S was supported for way too long and the complaints about Apple slowing down older iPhones started with the iPhone 5 and 5s.

[@han-xu-cua]

iPhone 4S ios 6.1.3 the king return👑🎉

[@sameersheriff7078]

4 to 4s has more improvements than 14 to 16 !!!! in a nut shell even so called 's' yrs seems like super cycle in comparison to what we're getting from apple now a days !!!
