what's up everyone John rent injure from TechnoBuffalo here when the iPhone 4 was announced it was met with the collective sigh from the geek community it wasn't what many of us were expecting but much like Beauty all the changes are definitely more than skin-deep we've got a dual-core process here we've got a better camera we've got some software enhancements in the virtual voice of Siri but is that gonna be worth while operating from an iPhone 4 let's put these two head-to-head and see if the S + 4 S stands for speed or suck alright so let's make sure we're doing in apples to apples comparison let's make sure that all the applications are closed I know it doesn't affect how Apple Apple's the iOS uses memory or not but just for the sake of commenters to keep things simple everything here has been closed we've got an iPhone 4s and an iPhone 4 both are connected to the same Wi-Fi network this guy's got 3G coursing through his veins and my SIM cards in there and this one my old iPhone 4 does not alright so let's try some first party applications if my bat fingers can let me hit them at the same time let's go ahead and try something like weather which is so much harder to do than you'd expect here at the same time so learn a little bit faster here on the iPhone 4s and the iPhone 4 let's try Calendar same thing a little bit faster nothing major let's try some third-party applications how about Twitter if ik fast you're on the iPhone 4s then the iPhone 4 I'm actually gonna stop there on third-party tests applications that are existing right now were coded and developed for iPhone 4 or earlier hard we're not taking advantage of the additional speed that the iPhone 4s offers so presumably we'll see a difference a few months from now as developers are able to take full advantage of the extra horsepower in the iPhone 4s something to keep in mind so web browsing is extremely important to me it's one of my best features of a phone and iOS has arguably one of the best web browsers out there let's go ahead and see if the s and gives it any extra speed unfortunately the s doesn't stand for Adobe Flash there's an S in there somewhere I decided to throw that little jab and there would jump into settings well go ahead and clear history clear your cookies I do love cookies I also love punching pie let's go ahead and open up Safari it should open up my bookmarks let's go ahead and try my favorite tech side on the planet TechnoBuffalo I'll get that cute up there get that cute up there and we'll let them load again same Wi-Fi network a little bit faster on the iPhone 4s I was definitely a bigger improvement than we saw an application load time let's try a few other websites let's try YouTube it should load the mobile version of the TechnoBuffalo youtube channel a little bit faster on the iPhone 4s versus the iPhone 4 let's try the Godfather of tech sites let's try and gadget see if there's any sort of difference there same thing a little bit faster on the 4s versus before what about sites we've already looked at so we already saw a TechnoBuffalo so it's stored in cache or there's caching involved see there's any difference here so load it again faster on the iPhone 4 and I gotta tell you in all candor this is probably be like 14th time I've filmed this video I kept nothing I wouldn't hit buttons at the same time it was just a disaster these are the same results that I saw each time that I tested the iPhone 4 was faster than the iPhone 4s was faster than the iPhone 4 I'm glad I caught that before I uploaded this video otherwise it would have been just a billion comments all right so we'll go ahead and hit home here and we'll hit home out of there so I have the AT&T version of the iPhone 4s which is supposedly capable of running on there well what they're calling a 4G network that is HSPA+ it's capable of 14.4 maximum megabits per second down as opposed to the seven or so that the iPhone 4 can get well I'm in Southern California and I am blanketed by HSPA+ so I was really curious what the speed cast was gonna be using this B test net occasion so again this is gonna be totally subjective depending on what location you are or where you are what network traffic is at the time this is only accurate for me right now at this exact minute at about 4:30 p.m. on the 14th of October but I'm just kind of curious that you guys might be as well but unfortunately this guy doesn't have any 3G radio so we're going to bring in a guest iPhone 4 that does have a SIM card and is running on of course 3G so Wi-Fi has been turned off here I'm gonna go ahead and turn Wi-Fi off on this guy so we're getting at accurate tests to Wi-Fi and lick it off all right so let's open up the speed test application in there open up the speed test application here it's gonna find and close the server hopefully they'll find the same server begin tests and begin test so they are both pink San Diego server will try the LA server afterwards and see if they get any sort of difference so theoretically this is capable of a maximum with the camera there a maximum double the data speeds so the iPhone 4s is pulling in just about 3 megabits per second 2.7 something 2.75 and the iPhone 4 pulled in 1.3 so pretty close definitely an increase in speed are pretty close to that double average that's there are double potential rather that the iPhone 4s can do versus the iPhone 4 and we got 1.11 on the up as opposed to the point 6-1 on the iPhone 4 and again iPhone 4 iPhone 4s 1.3 down 2.7 5 down so definitely a big difference let's try changing servers and see if there's any sort of difference there as well make sure we're getting some sort of weird anomaly so we'll change servers let's go ahead and jump to Los Angeles there we go speed test speed test and let's restart the tests here on both of these and again totally subjective this is mostly just for my curiosity so I was dying to know there's going to be any sort of speed increase so we're looking at about 1 point seven five ish on the iPhone 4s on the right-hand side and about point eight one or so on the iPhone 4 so now we're seeing double more than double the speeds on the iPhone 4s but it looks to be a bit slower on the upload no they're almost the same this is gonna be a neck-and-neck race to see who gets faster on the upload speed 0.5 and point 4 2 so the iPhone 4s was indeed faster so the S at least in my case did stand for speed so is this worth while upgrading people ask me that all the time I say if you have a four there's probably not a giant compelling reason to up create it Siri is neat but it's in beta and in my opinion is still a bit of a novelty if you are a camera junkie and you really need to have 1080p well that's gonna be a reason for you to want to upgrade or you want better cameras then it's got that extra lens in there so we'll take much better pictures 8 megapixel versus a 5 but nothing giant overall if one of those reasons is enough for you then the 4s is gonna be a worthwhile upgrade if you just like to use a phone for a phone and you want to have the latest and greatest might not be worth signing your name to a two-year contract now we're gonna see some again some the biggest improvements once developers can start getting their coding on for the iPhone 4s on take advantage of the improved software and hardware that lives beneath the hood I guess the software is kind of the same of both so if you've got an iPhone 3GS probably worth the upgrade to the iPhone 4 or an iPhone 3G and regional iPhone you know definitely make the jump to the 4s if you're on the iPhone 4 you gonna want to think about it to make sure it's right for you so leave your comments down below do you think the S stands for speed or suck I'm very very curious we'll judge by thumbs up on each to see what you guys think I'm very curious for all your tech news be sure to check out TechnoBuffalo com I'm John Rhett endure and I'll see you the next video you
