What is the difference in iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S?

Answer 1

The iPhone 3GS came out more than 2 years before the 4S, between that time there has also been the iPhone 4. There is a difference in the basic things, like the memory has became bigger, available now is a 64GB memory, in the past 64GB was not an available option. There is also the processor, the processor will be upgraded to a brand new, faster and overall better processor. With every new product that comes out, the camera the camera will be bumped up to have higher megapixels and better optics. The iPhone 3GS was replaced with the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4 had a complete redesign, instead of using plastic Apple decided to go with glass and construct a steel band around the edge of the phone. The iPhone 3GS screen was a LCD capacitive touchscreen, on the iPhone 4 the screen changed to become the first Retina display on a smartphone. The steel band around the edge of the iPhone 4, held the glass together and it made it look like the sexiest phone around. But it was flawed with antenna issues, the antenna would not work properly if the phone was held a certain way. Ofcourse everyone complained and there was a huge uproar about this at the time, but the CEO at that time, Steve Jobs, his solution was to give away free bumpers for the phone or return it. He held a conference about the issue because of the global outcry of antenna problems, he then showed a presentation styled keynote of other phones form various different brands which had similar problems and pointed them out. Apple did a great job with the design of the iPhone 4, but with putting so much effort into the design and physical attributes to the iPhone 4, they overlooked other aspect of the phone. In 2011 the iPhone 4 was replaced by the iPhone 4S, which had better camera, memory, processor and camera. Steve Jobs died a few days after the release of the phone. The iPhone 4S has no antenna problems, this time they have made sure that there is no problems with any aspect of the phone. The 3GS also never had a front facing camera, meaning you could not video call, with the iPhone 4 Apple introduced a front facing camera, which allows the use of Apples own Skype-likeservice which they aptly named FaceTime. FaceTime is just like Skype, it is only compatible with Apple products unlike Skype, which can be used with Mac, PC, iPhone, Android, etc...

Apple also introduced Siri, a voice recognition system, which allows the user of the phone to ask questions to the phone when pressing the HOME button, unlike other smartphone operating systems Siri allows you to talk to the iPhone and it comes up with answers. There is only so many questions you can ask it, depending on where you live there are some services that some people living in the US will get that other countries will not get. And there is the fact that Siri is still a working progress, over time it will get better. The iPhone 4S is currently the latest iPhone to be released. Speculation is constantly going on about when the next iPhone will be released, some say this summer, others say it will not be until the winter. There is no one that will be able to tell you because Apple are tight lipped when it comes to releasing new products. But the iPhone 4S is a brilliant phone, if you are thinking of getting it then you should, it is worth the money.
