The captured shots aren’t terrible and I can clearly see the details, though photos have a high level of noise. The reason: the iPhone 4s’s camera captures realistic and natural shots, something only an iPhone can pull off. That said, if I want to rate the iPhone 4s’s camera on the scale of 1 to 10, I will give it 7 out of 10. The difference in picture quality is noticeable when comparing the iPhone 4s’s camera to that of the iPhone 12. At the front, the phone came with a 640×480 VGA camera. The iPhone 4s featured an 8MP rear-facing camera, capable of recording 1920×1080 (1080p) video. And I must say I can clearly see the progress Apple has made in improving the camera on its iPhones. The most exciting thing about this whole exercise was to test out the iPhone 4s’s camera.

But I must say the iPhone 4s still performs better than many Android smartphones that have been introduced much later. I won’t say the iPhone 4s feels slow and sluggish to use but given the phone made its debut in 2011, it can’t compete with the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 in terms of performance. I was able to stream music via Apple Music but I couldn’t connect my Apple Watch and HomePod with the iPhone 4s. The list goes on but I did manage to download and run Facebook, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Flipkart, Hotstar, OLX and Zoom on the phone.īut running iOS 9.3.6, the iPhone 4s is still a fully functional smartphone. I also couldn’t install a number of popular apps on the phone including Instagram. A lot of Google apps, be it Gmail and YouTube, do not support the iPhone 4s anymore. ![]() ![]() I was able to navigate and the phone’s small(ish) display isn’t bad for viewing news sites.īut running modern apps on the iPhone 4s is entirely a different story altogether. Many news websites such as and load in less than 5 seconds. Browsing the web on the iPhone 4s is as good as on any other phone. But I was surprised to find out how capable the iPhone 4s is even today. When I thought of buying the iPhone 4s, in my head I knew its shortcomings. (Image credit: Anuj Bhatia/Indian Express) Decent performance, but its internals showing the age The latest iPhone 12 is based on the design language of the iPhone 4s. The only issue with a 3.5-inch small screen, if you consider it a real drawback, is that you won’t get to see the same amount of content as the iPhone 12, in case of Facebook or even reading on a website. Watching videos is possible, although don’t expect the same level of experience compared to present-day phones. Maybe the display is not as bright as the iPhone 12, but the 3.5-inch Retina Display is fine for web browsing and checking your Facebook feed. All I am interested in telling you is my experience with the iPhone 4s, which sports a screen that has a pixel density of 326 per inch. That’s not my point of revisiting a phone that was introduced in 2011. Look, I don’t want to get into the debate whether LCD screens are better than OLED displays. You might be surprised to know that the iPhone 4s’s 3.5-inch Retina Display (960×640) still looks terrific.
