Currently I have an Iphone 4 with verizon and an Iphone 4S with Sprint. I switched to Sprint because I was informed it would be cheaper, but after receiving my bill and talking to the assistant manager over the phone I've come to the conclusion it's the same price. Now I want to know exactly what is the benefit of having a 4S over a 4. What are you guys input on this situation? What would you do here?
There is really only a Benefit in having an iPhone 4 over a 4S if you like to jailbreak and modify your device and make it do things and have acres functionality that Apple would not allow any AppStore apps to do.
The 4S is better then the iPhone 4 in pretty much every way except one...the iPhone 4 can be easily jailbroken.
Well the iPhone 4S does have the virtual assistant Siri...which is something that the iPhone 4 does not have. But you can easily put Siri on a jailbroken iPhone 4 too.
I my opinion the stock iPhone 4S does not come close to a jailbroken iPhone 4. But jailbreaking is not for everyone. There are a lot of things one needs to learn if you want to be a jailbreaker.
Some people do not want to take the time to learn those things for sake of having no real customization options, and fear of messing up there device some how.
So that is the benefit of having an iPhone 4 over a 4S....but that really ONLY applies if you like to tinker and customize your device.
If all you want is a good working solid phone that "just works" and you don't care at all about jailbreaking and adding extra functionality to your device, then of coarse go with the latest model....iPhone 4S.
The choice is yours really. It's all personal preference....basically depends on how much yum like to tinker with an modify your device to your liking.
If you don't care about modifying the device to your needs...then go with the 4S.
If you would like to jailbreak and add extra functionality, being make your phone do almost literally whatever you want....then the iPhone 4 is best.
I chose the iPhone 4 over the 4S simply because the iPhone 4 is easy to jailbreak....and I can have everything the 4S has with my jailbroken iPhone except for the hardware changes of coarse....which are *minor* at best.
