    I can’t believe I’m writing this so many months later but for the record the “little hole” I’m referring to at 3:03 isn’t the microphone. I’m making a joke about not knowing what the headphone jack is.
    Sorry to those who got it but I’m still receiving a ton of comments about this lol so I figured I’d clear it up. Side note, if you want to be a great person you should go follow me over on social media! My ego needs a boost. (@91_Tech)

    • @zacharyshaul
      @zacharyshaul Před 5 lety +14

      Yes. I really don't want to carry around a phablet. I have an S7 which is a perfect size. 5.1 inches, still great camera, great resolution but the battery is okay. Phones should be a little chunkier which would allow room for a bigger and more efficient battery so flagship smartphones can have awesome battery life just like some budget phones (performance sucks on those phones but battery life is top-notch). The 4s body with an Xs screen would be amazing. Maybe even a 5s/SE body with a full screen. That phone you've mentioned really needs to happen. One can only dream...

    I remember getting the iPhone 4S as my first real smartphone in 2013 (back in the old days of iOS 7). I am currently a jailbreak user, and the 4S was the only phone that I was fine using without a jailbreak. Yes, it essentially became garbage after the release of iOS 9, but ios 7-8. My only complaints with it at the time was the weird placement of the headphone jack, compared to where it was placed on the iPhone 5 and 5s, and getting *good* replacement chargers was, and still is, quite the challenge

BUT I was able to compare it to another 4s and it turns out my screen is discoloured and my cameras are grainy so I figured it would be too frustrating to deal wth.

    Hey buddy, I scrolled past this video and was curious how others did it. I've been living with a 4s for over 2 years now and I've figured I might as well try to adapt. I run IOS 9.3.5 and CZcams for sure is my slowest app, in fact, this comment will probably take a good few minutes to post. I can never borrow a charger from anyone which is pretty inconvenient, and when using a friends phone I struggle with even unlocking the phone, as I'm used to swiping. I make all my calls and text messages through iMessage, as I don't have a SIM card. It is on its last legs, with my home button torn off and the entire back is shattered. Just to be clear, I use the 4s not by choice, but because I'm a kid with parents who don't just go off and buy their kid a new phone everytime they need a new one. Just wanted to give a little insight on what it's like really living with it. Nice video!

    I still use my iPhone 4s as a daily driver phone. I can't afford an upgrade right now but would love one. Yeah it is difficult to use but it is still usable. And yes the network still works HSPA plus. And yes you can unlock it and go on T-Mobile. There is a trick that you can do to get the app to work. Look up a very old version of iTunes that has the iTunes App Store. Make sure you can still login and log into it. Look up an app on your iPhone it Hass to say this app needs iOS 10. When it says that search that exact app you searched for on your phone in iTunes and then click download once you download it from the old version of iTunes App Store and it will immediately download to your iPhone. That's a helpful trick that I found to keep your iPhone 4s running. Now the app won't update if it needs iOS 10 but you'll be able to use the app with less features because it hasn't updated in forever.

      I used to have a 4s before iOS 9 came out. I loved that thing. I use a XR now.
      I upgraded from my 4s to a 5s back in 2017.

    The 4 was my first phone. I hated the angular corners and how they dug into my palms when holding the phone, and the camera had a yellow tinge on everything. But I still loved it. I then had a 6. Then a 7+ and now an XS Max. Hopefully this one will last a good few years.

    I’m using my old 4s as an iPod since my current phone is only 16gb, (android, so like 4gb) to have my music downloaded on Spotify, and I must say the speakers in my opinion are brilliant for a 2011 phone, when compared to my 2015/16 phone.
    Also I must say with the current condition of my daily driver in terms of speed, if it wasn’t for the screen size, and optimisation, I would go back to the 4s

      starst9 Although, I cant fully say since it’s not being used as a daily driver anymore, the battery in my case has been great, can get at least a couple of days battery life out of it listening to music

    I like the power button on top rather than the side. It feels more natural to touch the top with your index finger, and still have a good grip on the phone.
