Apple® - iPhone® 4S with 16GB Memory Mobile Phone - White (Verizon Wireless)

For many years of my life, I have been using half a dozen products. * Cell Phone * GPS Navigation * iPod Touch * DVD Player * Digital Camera * Digital Camcorder The iPhone 4S is all of those products (plus many more) all wrapped up into one, so let's dive right in, shall we? 1. Cell Phone -- The call quality is incredible. I'll never forget the first phone call I made (from my car) listening to the incredible sound clarity of the call. Also, it has the new Bluetooth 4.0 technology and integrates with my vehicle Bluetooth perfectly. In fact, when I use the voice-activated "Siri Personal Assistant", I speak to my car (not the phone) and Siri understands me. The included earphones includes the speaker, so you can use it hands-free while on the go. 2. GPS Navigation -- With an optional vehicle mount, this will function with the right (optional) application (app). Combined with Siri voice control, this device exceeds my expectations of what to expect from a GPS navigation system. 3. iPod Touch -- The iPhone does everything the iPod Touch can do many times better with a much faster A5 dual-core processor. From listening to your music, to photos, to videos, to web browsing and everything else, you really can carry less and have more. 4. DVD Player -- with the optional A/V adapter combined with an HDMI cable, this has replaced my BlueRay Player for full DVD functionality for a full 1080P HD experience. Popcorn not included. 5. Digital Camera -- Oh sure, it does not have a mega-zoom lens, but it certainly has 8 megapixels, improved sensor for low-light photography, HDR photo technology and when combined with the (optional) Photo stream service with iCloud integration, all photos taken can instantly sync with all of your other Apple devices. With this wireless integration, it also replaces memory cards and those dreadful adapters! Did I mention that it includes two cameras? 6. Digital Camcorder -- Make no mistake about it, this camcorder can record a full 1080P HD video at 30 Frames-Per-Second. With two cameras, there are more opportunities than ever! Now you would think with all of those features, that would be the limit, but truth be told -- there are no limits to what you can do. With the incredible App store, you can purchase additional apps. In fact, many fine apps are actually free of charge. With the wonderful Siri personal assistant, just speak in natural language to do many tasks. Need an alarm clock? Just ask, "Siri, wake me up at 5:30 AM tomorrow". Need an oven timer? Just ask, "Siri, set the timer for 20 minutes". The possibilities are endless with what you can do. This product is just incredible and if you are shopping for someone, looking for a gift, if they already own one, there are dozens of fine accessories that would make affordable gifts, because most people will purchase this long before the holidays.

I absolutely love my iphone 4s!! This is my first smartphone, so I am in love with being able to do anything on it. Before I got an iphone I had an ipad, which I did and still do love. But I found out my iphone is basically a mini-ipad with a phone, and I can do everything on it as well. So cool! Also, my iphone has bascially replaced by camera. It takes such good pictures and I can upload them to websites or e-mail them right away. It's very convenient! The only thing I don't love so much is the battery life. If I start in the morning with 100% by the time I get to bedtime i'm usually within 20% left, depending how much I used it that day. Closing out the certainly helps, but I wish I didn't have to charge it every night. But regardless, I still love it and I am so happy I got it!

I have had smart phones before, but never an I Phone. I am really enjoying it. Listening to voice mails has never been easier. Now I can get apps I could not get before. The camera is great and it takes exceptional videos as well. The phone is a perfect size. It fits in the side pocket of my purse. It seems to respond faster than my other smart phones. I know there are things the phone can do that I'm not even aware of. I am still learning.

The iPhone 4S is a great introduction to smart phones for anyone who hasn't already tried one. Even Android users may find the switch to be refreshing. The phone is easy to use, has a great back camera (and an okay front-facing one), records HD video, syncs easily with your computer via iTunes (which makes backing stuff up and adding new music/pictures to the phone a breeze), runs smoothly and (so far) hasn't crashed. The iPhone 4S also allows you to pick custom ring tones and text tones per user--something I haven't seen possible since the old Motorola Razr days (yes, this isn't possible even on Android--or at least the versions I played with). There are a few downsides to the iPhone 4S. The biggest is the battery life. Like many smart phones, it can drain battery power pretty quickly depending on a few factors such as signal strength, how many apps you're running, and the brightness of the screen. With moderate use and okay to poor signal strength I get around 10-12 hours of use which isn't great, but considering the factors it isn't terrible either. With heavy use I get even less. If you have a strong signal and can tweak the phone a little, you will probably get more than me. On the flip side of this issue is that the phone charges fast. Really fast. In my experience it goes from 10% charged to 100% charged in two hours or less. Android users might find a few things to be a little odd if they switch over to the iPhone. For example, there's some screens where the keyboard will not flip no matter what whereas on Android any screen with a keyboard could be flipped to make typing easier. And beyond customizing the wallpaper, lock screen, the order of icons and text/ring tones, there's really not much more you can do in terms of customization. Overall, as someone who has used both Android and iOS, I am quite content and happy with my iPhone 4S. I would recommend this phone to anyone.

It took a while for my kids to talk me into a Smart phone, but I love it. I checked my email waiting for a freight train to pass yesterday. I Phone is simple to use, especially if you use a Mac, or a Nook. The I Phone takes great photos, is simple to use, and like most Apple products is very user friendly. Very happy with my choice. Loaded my music on the phone, so now only one item has to go to the gym or on a run.

Purchased iPhone 4s in January. I was switching from an old flip phone but transition was easy since I have an iPad and iPod. I was able to transfer my contact list and now have it, along with other data, backed up on iCloud. Phone is easy to use. I like the size; that is one reason why I bought the 4s rather than the 5. I like to carry it in my pocket so the smaller the better for that purpose. The camera seems to be pretty good. I haven't used it a lot yet but have taken a few pictures and emailed them to my home computer. One of my favorite uses so far has been to use the Key Ring app for all my rewards and membership cards. This has eliminated a lot of cards from my wallet. I did have a problem with this phone locking up. I took it to Best Buy twice to have it re-booted and it worked for a day. After that I had it replaced; absolutely no hassel from Best Buy. Since the phone was replaced, I have not experienced any technical issues with the phone.

I needed a replacement for my previous Palm Pilot where I had built a large address book, calendar with birthdays etc. and a collection of memos. I staretd with an HTC Incredibe android, and transfered all my information via Deja Office. But the android was clunky and not all that intuitive, so I looked int changing (upgrading) to an IPhone, and was glad to see that the IPhone also supported the app Deja Office (free), which allowed transfer of all my previous information. The camera is outstanding, and the sound that goes with the mp3 players very good. The IPhone is very easy to use, does all that I expected it to do, and more.

This is an awesome phone for those who are technically challenged. Very easy to set up and use. I am pretty sure it has a lot more uses than I have discovered, but this is my first smart phone. I can actually text, send and receive data, make a phone call, use Siri. I love Siri, it works great and is also fun to ask silly questions. A huge help when I am unsure of what I am trying to do. The battery life seems to be a little short, but as I stated, this is my first smart phone. My husband has the Droid platform and I find that difficult to even make a simple phone call. This is small enough for ease of storage, i.e. pocket, purse, etc., but yet large enough display to see what I am doing. An excellent phone. This is also my first Apple product.
