5 List of iPhone 4S Weaknesses You Should Know Before You Buy It

iPhone 4S series is the latest touch screen smartphone currently offered by the iPhone. Since the first version, the iPhone 4S is the fifth generation. In addition there is an increase in hardware in the iPhone 4S, Apple also provides a new service named Siri. Letter S on the iPhone 4S shows Siri support on this service. But behind the frenetic marketing by Apple, you should know some of the weaknesses of the iPhone 4S before deciding to buy it.

1. No Support for LTE.
Previous naming system used by Apple as the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS shows the supported data network, the 3G. But if you expect the iPhone 4S will use 4G data network, you will be disappointed. Number 4 behind the iPhone's name instead of showing that the iPhone supports LTE, the 4G network which is currently offered by the cellular provider. Even Apple is reportedly going to defer to feature 4G until 4G networks are widely available. The more extensive 4G network, the greater the potential that would buy the iPhone and the only way to gain support in LTE in iPhone is to buy another next generation of iPhone.

There is the possibility of LTE available on iPhone 6 or whatever the chosen naming Apple iPhone for the next version. Though Apple's smartphone competitors such as Samsung and Nokia are supporting LTE in their products. So when an area where users are located in the coverage of LTE networks, which need do is to upgrade their data subscription types, rather than upgrade the phone. We recommend that you consider the weaknesses of the iPhone 4S if you want to use the new LTE network.

2. Internal memory with a fantastic price.
iPhone 4S is offered in 3 different models. The only feature that distinguishes these three models is the size of internal memory: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. But if you look directly at the official price of the Apple site, the prices offered have a difference of $100 between models. $100 is a ridiculous price just for the difference in the internal memory of 16GB on each model.

3. Siri: New Features Or Just Marketing?
Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface (Siri) is the application of a personal assistant who can answer your questions, make recommendations and perform various actions with a web-based services on your request. Remember, Siri is an application that requires no special hardware features to run it. IPhone versions prior to 4S should also be able to run it. Even before it was bought by Apple, Siri is available as an option for all versions of iPhone applications on Apple App Store.

It is the nature of Apple to force their users to upgrade their products by providing new features, but lock the previous versions to prevent access to the new features. Siri just for the iPhone 4S, it should open the eyes of the users of Apple products. Users should do upgrade, upgrade, and upgrade again every year. Apple will make the iPhone a year ago to wear with a locking feature to the iPhone or suspend certain features, such as LTE up to their potential to do more upgrades.

4. Content Monopoly.
The only choice you get the apps and music, only through the Apple Store. First, each application must be approved by Apple in order to appear in the Apple App Store. To get the music you have to buy it from Apple Music Store. This monopoly makes Apple could be arbitrary. For example, the price of songs on the Apple Music Store is more expensive than others such as Amazon. And also with a variety of eBook titles on offer are more expensive than Amazon.

Because the iPhone is locked to the service from Apple, not many options for you that swallow the price offered by Apple, although there are other content providers are able to offer lower prices. Although Apple is currently being sued for alleged eBook price fixing by the court of America, but it seems to iPhone 4S state will not change anytime soon.

5. Poor condition issues in Assembling iPhone Place.
Lately, Apple with its partners, Foxconn which assembles Apple products in China under the spotlight sharply. As a result of adverse conditions experienced by the workers so few of them to commit suicide. Poor condition of overall at the Foxconn factory, assembly line iPhone is the most worst of the worst. The workers there working with the shift that is longer than the other assembly line, for example for the iPad.

To meet the insanity iPhone fans who for some reason willing to queue in different parts of the world only to replace their existing iPhone with another newer iPhone, Foxconn have to maximize the iPhone assembly line. Put more workers on the iPhone assembly line and even then is still not enough. The workers still have to take a lot of overtime and work during the holidays to meet the demand for the iPhone. These conditions exacerbate the long list of weaknesses of the iPhone 4S. For every product you buy an iPhone, there are workers who work in the harsh environment in other parts of the world.
