JULIA, Salisbury Music and entertainment lover

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: Looks good, very easy to use, Siri is great - I upgraded from iphone4 so this is an improvement. Didn't go for iPhone5 because of feeble and problematic new socket. Can't see the point in changing all my tech or buying an adapter for £30. Overall I think the 4s is the best iPhone option at present.
Bad points:: Short battery life, not really a problem for me as I'm usually driving so it gets charged up there, but if not you need to keep a charger handy.
