Apple's current best-selling iPhone, this is the iPhone 4S.
Apple's current smartphone is the iPhone 4S. This is the currently the best smartphone the Cupertino firm has to offer. It sports the dual-core A5 chip. This ensures that users enjoy the performance offered by a powerful processor. It also sports the voice-controlled personal assistant Siri. She will do anything from looking for the nearest restaurant in your area or answering any question you throw at her. When it comes to the phone's overall looks, it looks exactly like its predecessor. You might be interested in getting this new smartphone. However, it is the most expensive phone in Apple's lineup. If you're looking for something more affordable, you might be interested in the 4S' predecessor the iPhone 4.
Now why is this past model still a good choice? One of these reasons has to do with apps. Although this past model does not come with the latest hardware the 4S has to offer, it will still allow you to enjoy from the best mobile applications the App Store has to offer. This includes digital magazines, digital newspapers, eBooks, tools, music, movies, and games. Although you might not be able to play games that put a large demand on the phone's hardware, everything else will be available. An example is Angry Birds. This is the most popular game across platforms. It does not require dual-core processors to run properly.
Another reason is updates. With other platforms, updates do not roll out to handsets as soon as the update goes live. An example is Android. Android may be the most popular mobile operating system in the world. However, updates do not roll out to smartphones all at the same time. Some devices get updates earlier than others. Some devices get updates later than others. With the iPhone 4, this will not be the case. Once Apple releases an update, their iPhones, iPads, and iPods get the updates as soon as they go live.
One more reason is the phone's retina display. The competition may offer smartphones sporting 4 inch displays. However, this phone still offers more resolution. With the Samsung Galaxy S2's 4.3 Super AMOLED Plus display, you get a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. This offers a pixel density of 217 PPI. With the 4th generation iPhone, you get a smaller 3.5 inch display. However, it sports a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels. This offers a pixel density of 330 PPI.
As you can see, the iPhone 4 still offers a number of advantages despite being an older model. This is why it is still a good choice.
