Pocket-Lint: The iPhone 4S might be Apple’s top dog but Android has some pretty impressive breeds of its own. Right now, the No.1 in the Google mobile space has got to be the Samsung Galaxy S II with the LTE and even LTE HD editions to enjoy if you happen to live in the right parts of the world.
Apple ultimately decided to resolve these six-year-old court proceedings and agreed to pay $15 to each impacted iPhone 4s holder.
The Verge: All devices from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone X are impacted.
Fair play to them. On the ethical hacker side of things I would use the hack as leverage against Apple to continue to support their equipment. As they just dropped support for their iPad mini2’s etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, they work perfectly fine but are now blocked from receiving security updates etc. So the consumer is forced to purchase a new product that does the exact same thing.
Apple is on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled iPhone 4s owners. The suit, filed by Chaim Lerman and more than 100 others, alleges Apple's iOS 9 update severely degraded the smartphone's performance both in terms of third-party apps and core functionality.
My immediate reaction of "iPhone 4S" was not right, i guess i was just ready to hate whatever Apple was going to announce, but now that i look at it, it's quite a good upgrade from iPhone 4.
But if i was forced to pick 1 from these 2 i will certainly go with Galaxy S 2, I'm not saying iPhone 4S is like nothing in comparison to Galaxy S 2, it's just that i prefer Galaxy S2.
I was just going to get an iphone 4s just to have a new phone to replace my really old one but now I'm pretty excited :)
