It is the same as the iPho
Siri doesn't work so well with emails

Excellent performance, Improved 8-megapixel camera, Siri voice assistant
Identical design to predecessor, Upgrading from an iPhone 4 less appealing
If you're upgrading from an iPhone 4, Apple's new iPhone 4S is best described as an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade. However, for current iPhone 3G and 3GS users, or those switching from another platform, the iPhone 4S is a significant upgr...

Apple's iPhone 4S has a faster processor and an upgraded camera, all the benefits of iOS 5, and a useful and immensely fun voice assistant. Call quality on the Sprint model is admirable, and the data speeds, while certainly not 4G, get the job done
It's about time we get a larger screen
The iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyo...

Abstract: Though Mossberg praises the phone's “brilliant new camera” and “faster, 4G-class download speeds,” he dubs Siri , the voice-recognising personal assistant, the “standout feature”. Siri “isn't perfect, and is labeled a beta, but it has great potential and ...

In Australia, most users get a two-year contract when they buy a new smartphone. While some early iPhone 4 adopters will probably be eligible for a new phone in the next few months, my suspicion is that iPhone 3GS users will be at the head of the upgra...
Powerful processor and stunning graphics performance; Faster download speeds, industry leading 8MP camera; Siri personal assistant, new iOS 5 features and iCloud support; Ability to export video to external displays;
Looks very similar to the iPhone 4; No LTE (4G network) support;
While many were hoping for a radically different ‘iPhone 5', the 4S deserves applause for what it delivers. There are some genuine improvements on the 4 in terms of overall performance, including a fantastic camera, improved reception and faster download...
Abstract: Since the iPhone 4S has just been announced by Apple, we thought we'd put it head to head against some of the leading Android devices currently available and the rumoured specs of the Nexus Prime. All of them are dual-core, all of them are sparkly, but so...
