Display hasn't seen much improvement when compared with the predecessor, Iphone 4

Exceptional visibility in sunlight

Substantial viewing angles in the screen

The glass back is prone to breaks in case it slides through owners hand
as it doesnt give a good grip

iPhone 4 accessories won't go nearly as well with iphone 4s

The home button launches the Siri virtual assistant briskly

The volume up key compromises a camera shuttering as well

MicroSIM card slot opening can be well endured only with the enclosed SIM eject tool, carry it

No stereo speakers

Its 1430mAh this time, has seen bit improvement

The bumper cases are still needed for protection, regarding the antenna

Sports two antennas to tackle the "death grip" issue

Both antennas support both standards, GSM and CDMA

Don't fear, death grip won't interfere. Hold it anywise, the antennas can switch between any mode when required. When one antenna is blocked, the other volunteers

The hit! SAR values are all time high

Text input can be feeded through voice and is recognised throughout the system

No layers or advanced menus

Apple ensures the user with more than 200 new features, but most doubt the number

The notifications
area is improved and notifications can be received on both the lockscreen and homescreen

Each notification is configurable ie view in Notification Center, view on Lock Screen, number of shown items etc

When you attend to one lockscreen notification, other notifications disappear from the lockscreen

Faster than its predecessor when CPU performance is compared and as Apple put it into words seven times faster when it comes to 3D performance

Only iPhone contacts can be labeled well, leaves google synced contacts in cold allocating only three labels at most

Mail, voicemail, calendar and reminder sound alerts can be customized

When carrier fails to support FaceTime activation by phone number, email can be used as ID ( automatically done )

Good reception

CDMA available only on CDMA network activated handsets. To get it straight, if you buy an iPhone with a GSM SIM card, it won't catch CDMA coverage

Better loudspeaker performance

FaceTime video calling over Wi-Fi is only compatible with devices that come from the same hood such as iPhone 4, Macs and new iPod Touches

No SMS delivery reports

iMessage lets exchange instant text and multimedia messages between iOS 5-running things via Wi-Fi or 3G

As Apple officially claims, the iPhone 4S camera takes the first photo in just 1.1 seconds and takes just half a second in betweens

Fastest camera phone on market, tested and proven
