Well, it’s been about five days since I made an unscheduled upgrade in cell phone due to atmospheric dampness and an inability to do the differential equation between the rate at which a pocket will fill through the zipper and empty through the seam at the bottom.

So far, the iPhone 4s has been every bit as good as the iPhone 4, but not much better.  Here are some thoughts:

• The salesman made a big deal about how the 4g network on the 4s was much faster than the 3g on the 4.  I’ve surfed the web, downloaded a couple of books, and looked at photos on FaceBook, and I haven’t noticed much difference.
• The processor is a bit faster in starting my apps, but it’s not a quantum leap.
• The display, however, is absolutely wonderful.  With the 4, I usually had trouble reading it in direct sunlight.  With the 4s, it’s still bright and crisp.
• The size of the phone is, to me, not significantly different from the 4, either in thickness or weight.
• Siri is kind of neat, but she has trouble understanding when I say “Call Irish Woman, Main” that I mean for the phone to call Irish Woman on her main phone number.  Siri interprets that to mean “Maine”, which I guess would be useful if she was in the extreme north-east, but since she’s in Louisville, it’s annoying.  On the 4, it was never a problem.

I’ll see how I feel after a few months, but so far, it’s not that much of an improvement over what it replaced.
