Unless you are one of those that cares about specs, I think the 4S is probably the best value of all the current iPhone. Oofa, iMore Forums Member. At this point, I still think the iPhone 4s is a perfect device for anyone looking to get into the Apple ecosystem for minimal cost as, they do indeed make a great’iOS starter device’ and many folks in the iMore Forums tend to agree with that as well. That being said, it is getting to be a little dated and if you’re comparing devices, the age will show.
