Performance and CPU comparison
All the main differences between the iPhone 4 and 4s concern the “filling” of the Apple gadget. So, the four could only be purchased with built-in memory of 32 and 16 gigabytes. iPhone 4S is sold with 64 gigabytes of memory.
The new iPhone also boasts a more powerful A5 processor with two cores. Increased battery life. I was also pleased with the 4S graphics processor, now it is 9 times more powerful. Such updates managed to make the iPhone 4S model twice as productive.
One cannot fail to note such updates as the GLONASS navigation system, which can work along with GPS. iPhone 4 only supports GPS navigation system. The Quartet is also equipped with a Bluetooth 2.1 module, and the 4S is equipped with a 4.0 module.

Photography and videography
Also, iPhone 4 and 4s differ in terms of photo and video shooting. So, the camera in 4s has become much better and has a resolution of 8 megapixels. Photos and videos are sharper and more saturated, and color reproduction is closer to natural colors. When shooting video, the owner of an iPhone 4S can record in Full HD quality.
For comparison, the previous model could shoot in 720p format. iPhone 4C is equipped with software stabilization of any image. The new model's video camera is 30 percent faster. Videos recorded in motion look especially high quality. The 4S camera has much lower grain, so shooting in the dark will be more successful than shooting with the iPhone 4.
Such a flawless iPhone
Great, you say, how to recognize a fake if you have an original at hand with which it can be compared, we know
But what to do if there is no possibility of a “confrontation”? Don’t worry, everything is simple here too and all you need is your attention
It is known that Apple zealously cares about the quality of its products, so every detail must be perfect in the original - from the first screw to the last letter on the package. Let's take a closer look at the device in front of you.
Package
First, let's look at the packaging - the image of the iPhone on the box and the inscriptions must be done carefully, in English, no hieroglyphs are allowed. Noticed the smeared letter? This is a fake - you don’t even have to take the device out of the box! Apple applies high-quality paint to the box, and the technological process is perfectly calibrated, so mistakes like smeared paint are eliminated.
Equipment
Has the box undergone thorough visual inspection? Let's move on! Let's study its contents. There are a lot of iPhone 4S unboxing videos online, and you can look at them carefully to see how neatly and even carefully all the components are laid out. Notice the mess? This means the gadget comes under suspicion. By the way, regarding the packaging, the box along with the iPhone 4S contains a cable for charging and synchronization with a PC, a network adapter, a headset, an i-clip, also known as a needle for opening the SIM slot, and, finally, documentation.
Assembly
Did the box raise any suspicions? Then all that was left was the device itself. And here not only your eyes, but also your hands should be attentive: press all the buttons - the movement of the original keys is clear and even, press the device here and there (without unnecessary fanaticism), there should be no creaks or extraneous sounds. And finally, just ask yourself a question - how does the smartphone feel in your hand? The original iPhone 4S is made in a high-quality all-metal case, while fakes are riveted from plastic, which is disguised as metal, and the case is not without backlashes and inconsistencies.
Quality of hardware and software
Another stage of control is to turn on the smartphone and look at the display. How to distinguish the original iPhone 4S? It has a high-quality Retina screen, the picture seems to lie on the surface and looks very cool. The display of a fake, as a rule, is not striking in clarity, and in general it can be called high-quality with a stretch. Another point is the camera - on the iPhone 4S it is already quite good - in daylight the shots are more than decent, while fakes are usually equipped with a camera for show, which takes simply terribly low-quality pictures.
The speed of the device is another answer to the question of how to distinguish a real iPhone from a fake. Freezes, slow operation, lags... all these are not typical “jambs” for Apple technology. Yes, if the 4S is updated to the highest possible iOS, there will be certain slowdowns in operation. But! If you purchase a new 4S, iOS 5.0 must be installed on board and this model simply “flies” on this version.
A few words about Siri
This is the name of the mobile assistant program built into the iPhone 4S model. By the way, the letter in the name of the phone appeared thanks to the presence of this very assistant. This program was created by developers specifically for the iOS system.
Siri can make the life of an iPhone 4S owner a lot easier. Interestingly, such a program easily adapts to any user. True, it will take her some time to learn all your habits and preferences. Siri helps you quickly understand all the programs and functions of the iPhone 4S, as well as provide all the necessary help information. The iPhone 4 C, made in America, speaks in a female voice, and the model from the UK speaks in a male voice.
Golden rules
So, as you can see, even without the original iPhone 4S at hand, it is not difficult to identify a fake. However, someone will say that all the recommendations indicated in the previous section are relative - that is, if the user is inexperienced, he may find a fake camera cool, and a rather poorly made gadget will seem perfectly assembled. And, besides, a fake can be very good in all respects. Well, the comment is accepted, then let’s use the “golden” rules that will definitely put everything in its place.
Checking the serial number
Every iPhone has a serial number, it is listed on the box and in the device menu. Our task is to verify the authenticity of this very number. For this:
If the service does not generate an error, it means that the serial number is okay and the i-smartphone is genuine!
Important point! You need to look at the serial number in the menu, because it costs nothing to put the fake in the original box.
Go to the App Store application
All i-smartphones run on the closed iOS operating system and not a single fraudster can install it on a fake; in a fake iPhone, you see a disguised Android in front of you - sometimes good, sometimes bad, but you understand, xy from xy in any case, in fact, not difficult.
Go to the App Store - a branded online application store for iOS devices. If you are holding a fake in your hands, Google Play (in the picture on the right), a platform for programs and services for Android gadgets, will load, and if the original, the App Store (in the picture on the left) will load.
Connecting to iTunes
You probably noticed that the first two “golden” rules have one drawback. To check them, you need access to the network, and if there are problems with it, you will not be able to “punch through” the serial number or access the App Store.
Well, we have one more tip for you. When you go to buy an Apple, take with you a laptop with iTunes installed on it and connect your iPhone to it. If the program recognizes the gadget, it means it is original, otherwise, this is a fake.
Design
What are the external differences between the iPhone 4 and 4S? These two models do not have any significant differences in design. But there are still a few small points that distinguish model 4 from 4 C:
- The volume control button in the 4S model is located slightly lower than in the 4 model.
- The weight of the new iPhone 4C is slightly greater compared to the 4 model.
- In the new model, it is impossible to interrupt the connection by blocking the antenna with your finger. Now in the phone it is located on both sides, which has a better effect on the quality of communication.
Communication in the iPhone 4S model is generally more advanced. Problems when communicating with subscribers occur much less often.
These are all the most significant differences between the 4 and 4S models. For some they are not important, for others, on the contrary, all the changes in the 4 C model are extremely important. Therefore, everyone can resolve the issue of buying an iPhone 4S themselves, taking into account all the comparisons given.

Communications
The iPhone 4S has an impressive set of interfaces. Characteristics and reviews from gadget owners highlight the following:
- Full support for all 2nd and 3rd generation mobile networks.
- Built-in CDMA communication module.
- Wi-Fi allows you to transfer information at speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s when connected to the Internet.
- You can use Bluetooth to exchange small files, as well as to connect a wireless headset.
- Wired port for connecting to a PC and for charging the battery.
- 3.5 mm audio port for connecting a wired stereo headset to a smartphone.
- A ZhPS transmitter is also integrated into the device, which allows you to easily turn this device into a full-fledged navigator.
The only complaint is the lack of support for 4th generation networks. But at the time the device was released, they were still at the design stage, and installing such a radio module at that time was not entirely advisable.
iCloud Cloud Sync
Apple was so proud of iCloud that it even included a sticker with the service's logo.
Also introduced in iOS 5 is iCloud . This is not just cloud storage, but a full-fledged platform through which owners of Apple devices have the opportunity to synchronize all important data between all devices. Google came up with a similar high-quality implementation of cloud synchronization later.
Some people criticize it, others love iOS. In any case, to deny that this operating system had a serious influence on the development of Android is stupid.
What is the difference between iPhone 4 vs 4s – comparison, specifications, prices
The new iPhone 4s has already received the first wave of compliments and criticism. Appearing on the Russian market not so long ago, Apple’s new creation has already managed to make Yablochka lovers happy. Now that the debate has subsided, and the excited minds of iPhone users are able to think soberly, I would like to consider how the latest brainchild of the unique genius Steve Jobs, co-founder of the great Apple empire, turned out.
Appearance
Let's start with the most superficial. Externally, the new iPhone 4S is practically no different from its previous brother. This is not to say that this is bad: the design is still relevant and ergonomic. However, iPhone 4 owners who want to purchase a new model may not like the “boring” design. But it will pleasantly please those who want to “get off” from earlier phone models. Just like in previous models, the buyer is offered two classic colors – black and white.
Improved Communication
So, for the most curious, there are still differences in appearance. What are they? If you put both models side by side, you will hardly be able to immediately distinguish the iPhone 4S from the previous iPhone 4. However, if you look at the top of the antenna and the volume + and - keys, you will see that the antenna is now “broken” at that very top (the break was and remains in place at the bottom), and therefore the buttons are located a couple of millimeters lower.
