After a long wait for about 15 months Apple has finally launched a new
version of its popular smartphone, iPhone 4S. Like millions of Apple
lovers, even I waited desperately for this but in the end it was a total
letdown. We expected iPhone 5 with major redesign but the company
launched a same phone with few changes in technical specifications and
they call it the most amazing iPhone yet. So here I am covering five
good reasons why you should not buy the new iPhone 4S. Please note that
I am also an Apple lover but as I said before, this was a
total letdown in my opinion and many fans.
1) Design
This
is the biggest thing a company can work on a new product to grab a
quick attention around the globe. But Apple didn’t care & I really
can’t understand what they were actually doing past 15 months. iPhone 4S
comes with same design and display size which makes it look old. I mean
if you buy a new iPhone, you need to personally tell your friend
‘got a new mobile’. Well he still might not believe this until he a)
sees face detection feature, b)
Siri comes in, c)
plays new infinity blade or d)
may be a bill receipt in the end would finally convenience your friend, yea thats a new iPhone.
2) Siri
Apple
says Siri is one of the best reason you should get an iPhone 4S. Well,
Siri Assistant is not new & was available as an app back in 2010.
Lately, Apple bought the company who developed Siri and now of course
App no longer exist. Existing users get a message:
“I’ve been
replaced! The new Siri is even smarter and better-looking than me, and
waiting for you on the iPhone 4S. I’ll be leaving for home Oct 15th.”
The main reason what Apple says to buy new iPhone was already available
an year back and moreover people who paid for this app now begging for a
refund. That’s sad & shocking as well,
isn’t?
3) Outdated Specs
If we
compare 4S
with other smartphones you can easily notice that expect the 8MP
camera, iPhone comes with outdated specs. The phone has 800Mhz processor
and 512 MB RAM whereas phones like Galaxy S II, Galaxy Nexus or
Motorola Droid Razr are powered with 1.2Ghz processor and 1 GB RAM.
Although Apple has added A5 processor but they are still using it with
just 800 Mhz clock speed and just 512 MB RAM.
4) Own iPhone 4
This
is certainly the best reason: Why buy an iPhone 4S if you already have
an iPhone 4. To play Angry Birds little faster ? To chat with Siri ? All
this crap on same 1.5 year old design and 3.5 inch screen which you
already have on your iPhone 4. To see an increment in sales of iPhone
4S, Apple has played smart by discontinuing the 16GB and 32GB models of
iPhone 4 leaving customers with only 8GB version. Everyone knows who
wants a smartphone with just 8 GB memory and no expandable memory option
later.
5) iPhone 5 coming
You
heard it right. Since there is no major upgrade in iPhone 4S, there are
maximum chances you can see iPhone 5 at WWDC 2012 held in June every
year. iPhone 5 is certainly expected to be the biggest upgrade in terms
of design as it will be two years from June 2010 (Launch of iPhone 4) to
June 2012 and people around the globe would be eagerly waiting for all
new iPhone with something revolutionary, for which Apple has been always
famous.
