Thank God Anandtech still does what it does, because the in depth tech gadget review has become an almost bygone relic of the early 21st century. Their iPhone 4S review is bar none the most informative and useful review you will ever read for the device.
Want to know all the stuff Apple didn’t disclose and other review sites didn’t even mention? Like an faster WiFi chip accounting for better transfer speeds? Or an improved vibrate mechanism? How about benchmarks on exactly how much better at each task the 4S is?
If you’re on the fence about the device (especially if you’re an iPhone 4 user) and need concrete data to decide on the purchase, this is the only review you need to read.
The photo in this review is a great example why I thought the
novelty of Siri was a clever gimmick and it definitely sucked me in. Even if that was the only improvement I would
still have upgraded unnecessarily (come on, let’s be honest here.) I mean if I use my phone primarily for watching live and recorded TV with the
help of my DISH Network employee Sling adapter, then how could a vanity upgrade
really hurt.
