what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy here and this is the long-awaited iPhone 4s review I wanted to take a few minutes to play with the device or hours or days sorry guys but I wanted to give you guys an honest opinion and the number one question that is being asked is how much different is it from the iPhone 4 and the truth is I'm going to be honest it's not that different you know physically if you were to look at the two you'd think they were the same but this one has a much improved camera and that's the most compelling feature as far as I'm concerned as well as the other feature that's getting a ton of press this Siri feature now I'm probably get some haters on my next comment but I don't really believe that Siri deserves the amount of press that it's got you know it's voice recognition yes series a little bit smarter a little bit more sophisticated understands context a little bit better but deep down at the root of what this feature is is it's something that was available on different platforms for a long long time something that's been in the works for a long long time yes this is Apple's version and as we know Apple does very pretty things they they make everything run a little bit smoother so on and so forth but does it deserve all the press that it's gotten I'm not sure and this and here's another thing that kind of pisses me off about it is that I don't believe it's Hardware limited you know I've heard of people already hacking it onto their iPhone 4s and it works properly so what is Apple really doing here are they are they trying to you know designate you know or create a better reason to upgrade trying to put features in even though they could be available through a software update who the hell knows but in truth to me this is more of a novelty than anything and on top of that it has terrible performance in Canada some of you guys know that I'm up here in Canada and what that means is that finding things like restaurants and getting you out of a jam if you lost or even trying to find directions all that kind of stuff does not work in Canada apparently Siri is an American employee only or maybe maybe it works in other countries but here she's constantly responding saying hey that's not available in your area it's probably the most annoying thing and it probably has contributed to my hatred alright enough of the hate let's talk about what's good this device has moved the antennas around a little bit and hopefully the outcome of that is improve reception so if I've got really good Network speed in using it very good speed around the device yes there's an a5 chip in here now and what that means is that we're getting improved performance and the device is behaving very quickly responding very quickly the web browser just moves right along and I'm going to go ahead and say that this is definitely faster than my Nexus S which I've been using pinch-to-zoom so on and so forth this thing behaves exactly the way that it should and then some so definitely not complaining at all about the speed in and around the device again though in comparison to the iPhone 4 is this a deal-breaker are we talking about saving an entire afternoon while browsing the web because it's that much faster no we're not talking about that level but now let's get to the good stuff the camera this is the best camera I have ever used on a phone in my life and I am not exaggerating I say that for a couple of very specific reasons yes it's got a flash available it's got HDR available it's got a grid available if you if you want to use that to line things up but most importantly it fires off shots like it's going out of style this thing just pops them off rapid fire and the reason why that's important is because photography is inherently about capturing the moment and moments are fleeting they don't last forever they're there and then they're gone so if you're sitting there waiting for your camera phones autofocus you're out of business you didn't get what you wanted to capture and you really didn't make the photograph you could have made so this particular device is is it's an experience to use it you guys know I'm into photography I'm into making videos here but it's a real experience to use you got a physical button now when you're taking photos and and that has a big impact hey it also just 1080p video now you notice some beautiful Double Stuf Oreos here I just had to take it to the supermarket lots of colors and things to look at the focusing distance is a is is not too bad actually can't bring things super close but you could you can actually get items fairly close while keeping them in focus and you've obviously got that improved aperture now a two point two point four aperture so you can actually blur the background in images and get a get a sort of more professional you know effect that you can get out of obviously bigger aperture lenses when you're using digital SLRs and the like the other thing that's got is actually to get the forward-facing camera for those of you that like to look at yourself or those of you that like to look at my camera setup in and around the device I mean it's it's it's fine I mean it's good to use if you've used an iPhone before you you know what it's all about here's a physical comparison between the iPhone 4s there was the iPod Touch and then it's sitting there on top of my Nexus S and here's something that's interesting you know the Nexus S is a four inch device right and and everybody was thinking hey maybe we're gonna get a four inch device out of out of the iPhone this time around and then I heard some people arguing hey 3.5 inch is a perfect size for a screen you know because you know your thumb can reach all the way across so on and so forth now I agree yeah 3.5 is nice I mean I can easily get from one site to the other but I never had a problem with four inches you know I've been using this Nexus S for well a while now and and I never had a problem reaching across the screen at all I can reach the far corners the bottom corners so I think that this question has more to do with the size of your hand then it does necessarily with which size screen is right for everyone I don't think there is a size of screen that's right for everyone and as a result I think you got to try these devices out if you can't use it with one hand if the screen is so big that that one-handed operation becomes difficult than I'd say it's probably too big for you and you got to look elsewhere but I've never had a problem with for inches so you know if Apple did release a 4-inch iPhone I don't think things would change that drastically I think I could still very easily operate it and probably enjoy it more because of that fact so anyway guys I don't want to come off sound like a hater this phone is is beautiful to use and you know I would totally consider replacing my Android phone if it had a couple more things like I've grown so used to the back button on my Nexus I just couldn't imagine living without it but if you're a photographer if you're into taking images on the run with a device that is always on you you cannot beat this this phone I mean this thing is is unlike anything I've used before in a phone so if that is the number one thing that you use your phone for besides making calls and texting then then I would look I wouldn't look anywhere else I mean that thing is beautiful so anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this I hope I didn't come off too critical like I said it's a beautiful phone and and you're not going to go wrong if you purchase it and otherwise until next time I want to thank you for watching thank you for your support if you enjoyed this content hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and until next time thanks for watching later guys
