The iPhone 4S is a triple threat, and not just because it's available on three out of the four major U.S. carriers. Thanks to an A5 processor, Apple's sequel for AT&T (starting at $199 for 16GB, $399 as reviewed for 64GB) is considerably faster than th...

Choice in storage capacities; amazing camera; solid design and build quality; strong signal and call quality; decent battery life; "world phone."...
The display is too small for comfortable use; glass on the front and back has proven to be fragile in the past; relatively expensive at $199.99 to $399.99 with a two year agreement.
The iPhone 4S is a subtle upgrade from the iPhone 4. The camera is absolutely fantastic and the phone's performance is near perfection. But with so few improvements over the old model, it's hard to justify spending north of $200 and signing a two-yea...
