About this iPhone
The iPhone 4s, much like all other “s” variants, is just a slight improvement on the original iPhone 4. This meant a faster processor, more storage or greater battery life. The phone’s shape did not change and thecase was still ina stainless steel format which made the phone feel premium among its peers. The iPhone 4s had a 960×640 retina display as well as a few main features such we love today such as GPS, an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor and a new(at the time) 3-axis gyroscope sensor. The rear camera was upgraded from 2 megapixels to 5 megapixels and had a LED flash.
