iPhone 4S and iOS 5 – A night and day difference

15 Oct 2011

Up until yesterday I was the guy you saw huddled in the corner at Starbucks basking in the pale glow of an iPhone 3G.

Everyone around me had upgraded, at _least_ to a 3GS, but my unwillingness to give the Canadian carriers any more money (early upgrade fees) kept me dated.

That is until yesterday when an unlocked 32GB 4S showed up on my door step, and I must say that the difference is remarkable… unbelievable really.

So it’s with pleasure that I can now dust off instagram, yelp, rdio, twitter, runkeeper and facebook on the phone. Constant crashes on the 3G basically forced me to use the phone as… a phone, for calls and text messages.

On the iOS 5 front, it’s definitely breathed new life into my trusty iPad (mind you I was running 4.2 previously).

Split keyboard, tabbed browsing, wifi sync and personal wifi hotspots to the rescue.

That’s it for now.
