I must confess I'll never understand the Apple hype. The only sensible thing you can do with this device is mEn spread his egg in it. Hab's even time tested that is fine. For more unfortunately, it is not good ...
At the time I bought my 3GS and so had already more than satisfied. Unfortunately, had accumulated in the 2 years contract period quite a few expensive apps there that I did not want to lose and it was the second time around also another iPhone, namely this 4s here.
Another 2 years later, I now had the nose finally so full of the equipment that I got myself a Xperia Z1. A difference like night and day!
So much for the subjective, now even a few objective facts about the 4s:
Positives:
+ Visually looks nice and high quality
+ Is stable
+ Camera makes unbeatably good macro shots
+ Very good GPS accuracy
+ Siri is just phenomenal
Negatives:
- Already covered off several GB of memory alone by the intrinsic programs.
- No possibility of memory expansion
- No way to replace the battery pack itself
- Camera just miserable and blurred if minimal motion in the picture
- Ringtones must first be converted to an Apple format and then the file extension will be renamed. They also may not exceed intuitive and easy done differently 30 seconds !!!
- Forced to use iTunes
- No way music or images without iTunes on the device to get it
- Upload images to the device only possible if you put this in a sync folder on the PC and this is synchronized with the iPhone. Here as well as all pictures from the device to come down to your PC. Hello ??? I would possibly runtersynchen only upload and not all at the same time !!!
- Writing of texts, it is not possible to position the cursor at a point in the middle of a word, if you committed to times. You always have to remove from behind the whole word to the said office. My Sony can !!!
- IOS 7 since the screen scrolls no longer automatically up or down, if you marked text. You have the mark constantly release, scroll the image further and further highlight. When release pops up immediately a thick field "Copy" on the screen, what you have to confirm first, because you'll often have no place to scroll.
- Bluetooth available but closed to meaningful use. Can not walk at DM for Photobox and about transfer photos, for example. That was several years ago even my cell phone, which was not a smart phone!
- During PC change me announced my iTunes that the iPhone is logically connected to another library. If I wanted to download music or apps on the device you go with these new media library while, but then all data would be deleted on my iPhone. Hello ??? It's like if I move into a new apartment and my PC there only can operate when I completely reinstall it !!! This is a slap in the face of Apple !!!
- Battery life miserable
- It did not succeed to synch my contacts from the iPhone to my PC
- Lack of Flash support. It's like when my car had no windshield wipers. Prima view in the sunshine in the rain but I looked old. Just when I land again with the iPhone on one of the many Internet sites that require Flash. Hello ??? This is an absolute standard program !!!
- No way to group contacts
- If you directly creates a new photo folder on the iPhone and copied there photos from a different folder, they are apparently only linked. That is, if I in the new folder change an image and save, the changes are also stored in the image in the original folder. Likewise, if I delete the picture, for example, in the original folder, it is also deleted in the other folder. Hello ??? When I press COPY, then I expect that is copied, not just LINKED !!! What should be good then the function at all ???
- 1 Year Warranty, after no more grace. For other manufacturers are marching after 1 1/2 years into the business and still gets behaviourless replacement or repair.
- In Germany guarantee expires at Jailbreak (In the US, however, is not).
- It is a matter of the full backup never sure that one regains all data during restore.
- Outrageously high price
Conclusion: At the latest now that I have a direct comparison with the Z1, I can say with full conviction that I will never buy me back on iPhone !!!
