Using the iPhone 4S for a week | Yeah, don't do this. 

Looks like fun, I’ll definitely have to try this! But yeah, iOS 9 isn’t great on these A5 devices. Nice video and good job on the battery swap!

Great video and love your content also I downgraded my iPhone 4 GSM 3.1 to ios 6.1.3 plus a jailbreak it took a long time but the phone was INSANELY more useful keep up the content

You are my favourite RU-vidr now.

Fun memories. I can remember how excited I was in October 2011 foir the big release coming from a 3GS 32 to 64G. I used this as my backup even alongside 53 & beginning of 6S Plus. Back then, things felt slower sooner then now. I was using that 6S Plus as backup into my XS Max. Surprisingly, albeit a tad slow at times, it's running currently patched iOS 15.7.6. It's my old iPod Touch as now I use an XS Max in same way along a 13 Pro Max.

Thanks for suffering, I really enjoyed your vid, I think it’s really interesting how an old phone performes on a daily basis today. I have a 4S on iOS 6 and it runs buttersmooth.

WAKE UP BABE NEW MATTHEW'S TECHNOLOGY VIDEO JUST DROPPED

8/10, didn’t mention school enough

Regarding iOS 9 killing the iPhone 4S, I was using a 4S at the time iOS 9 came out, the initial release of it worked fine and even the first couple of updates were ok. Then with one update, I don't remember which one, it became completely unusable. Kinda wish I updated to 9, maybe install the first two updates and then just stop.

A more fair comparison would've been to compare it at the end of life on iOS-8 or 9 in 2015 along a 6S Plus. As I was still sort of using it as my 64gb iPod. it was slow, frose or crashed on iOS-9. Battery was already an issue by 2014. But even new it wasn't all that. I was new into RU-vid vlogging & you absolutely needs a battery bank. yo. But in all of 2012/13, it rocked. Seri adding new languages , I used new German. FaceTime on 3G was so cool. The 1080 video did indeed have image tabulation. Idk recall camera side did.

I’ve currently got an active same card in my iPhone 4s here in Australia you can still activate a iPhone 4, 4s , 5 , 5c 5s on 3G networks 3G network isn’t set to shut down here in Australia until 2024

There a great music player I use on Legacy iOS devices called "HS Player." Its latest version requires iOS 10, but there are compatible versions all the way back to iOS 7. It also has an EQ

If I use a 4s for a week, I’m just gonna put it on iOS 6 or 7 instead

I agree that the iPhone 4S felt very slow on iOS 9.3.6, so I was able to downgrade mine to iOS 6.1.3 and that helped it feel a bit faster. I think the 4S probably should've stopped on iOS 8.4.1.

How about just use it for what phones were made for call/receive calls.

Matt I feel your pain I tried just to use it just for A afternoon yikes But 4s it is still A beautiful iPhone

I approve of Freakish Ears on a Stand at 3:06

I used an 4S for 5 whole months before I upgraded to my current phone I know the pain

The first iPhone I ever had and used. I lost mine. Still, I don’t think I’d give up my 15 pro max for a 4s

amazing video i have a iphone 4 for my collection i got it for extremely cheap 6 dollars on a ebay auction and i want to get the iphone 4s for my collection too

miss that phone on ios 6

i use a white 16gb iphone 4s and its really goof= it works and is very fast the battery is really good i have modifid it it has ios 14

Well try using the Samsung galaxy s4 in 2021 too see if it's usable or not?

Ayyyyy

I have a tutorial on my channel on how to downgrade the 4S to iOS 6, which is far faster than iOS 9. iOS 8 on the 4S isn’t much better than iOS 9, though.

Would you say that it would be worth getting a 4S for iOS 9? (App compatibility wise) Or would I be better off just getting a 4 on 7.1.2

was it running iOS 9 during the challenge? I believe your downgrade video was made after this.after editing this 5 minutes later. i noticed the iOS 9 music app

You can downgrade the iPhone 4S to iOS 8.4.1 or 6.1.3 you can also dual boot it to older iOS versions for the iPhone 4S by jailbreaking it and installing Coolbooter.

I’ve been using an iPhone 4s for three years

>AT&T is shutting down the 3G Meanwhile, in Russia, my second mobile operator (Beeline) still supports EDGE (yes, fkn edge). So we can activate old iPhones without problems 😋

next week: Using the iPhone 5c for a week

this is when you find out how much time you spend on social media

You should try jailbreaking it and try fixing the RU-vid app if you're really that desperate

RU-vid Works with the browser and some games do support iOS 9 and 7 to this day List of games Baldi’s basics iOS 9 or later Rolling balls (ending support soon) iOS 7 or later

You can downgrade an iPhone 4s to iOS 6 or 8

Those devices win’t be supported anymore since the ended of 3G on other nations, so it is useless to own it anyway.

2:39 hey its thiojoe

next time you can use the iPhone 3Gs and you order an AT&T SIM card ok you can still use in 2023

9:40

But iPhone 5 can use 4g

It's definitely not the kind of phone people just use everyday

Downgrade to iOS 7, jailbreak, install older versions of apps, fix youtube and discord via tweaks. disable daemons. It will run smooth as butter.

Misleading thumbnail. This thing WAS awesome in 2011. It IS awful now though.

Ssssss shaven

Try 5s

just downgrade the iphone to ios 6
