Perfection By Rohit Kartan, posted: Mar 30 - updated: Mar 30
The consistency that the iPhone 4S delivers is amazing. As Aaron has said in various videos, the media ecosystem especially is second to none. Google tried to improve upon theirs with google play, but that was simply a swing and a miss. Everything on the phone is perfect except for the slight problem of screen size. As android designers are under the (wrong) impression that the bigger the phone is the better, 3.5 inches is just barely cutting by.
I've had this phone for a month and have not once been disappointed. Especially with the strong carrier service in the area, I have received little to no lag. I usually have the brightness level at 50% and the battery lasts me through the day with average phone use. As mentioned before, the design is flawless apart from the smaller screen size. The retina display also surpasses, though barely, the android equivalent, giving it perfect resolution for media. With my past android phones, I have never been more impressed with a mobile device, and have disappointed with the inconsistency of droids.
