Yes the title is not an illusion... I own an iPhone 4S. I was skeptical about them for a long time, since I switched from T-Mobile to Sprint on the 30th. Which, I like the experience so far. I actually came off of Gingerbread 2.3.6 on an MB611. That phone was on its last leg anyways only thing I don't like is iOS 6.1.3... Keeps shutting my 3G data off and on...well time to go run errands

Going from Android to iOS depending your needs you may not feel the downgrade so I can understand that, but downgrade yourself from a pure GSM/42Mbps HSPA/upcoming 100Mbps LTE T-Mobile's network to an ancient CDMA Sprint is consider a suicide for me. May I ask why you did that?

When I was on AT&T I really had no issues at all with my 3G data being consistently on w/o any problems. I've since switch to StraightTalk which uses AT&T towers and has the same speed as AT&T but I occasionally have to toggle airplane mode off-and-on because my data connection does appear to be working properly (especially when I am on travel). Toggling Airplane mode corrects the issue.

I think that it is a combination of quality of cell provider service stuff and iOS. I don't think it would be unreasonable for iOS to periodically check data integretity and attempting to fix it (by resetting it or whatever) if there are issues.

The iPhone is new to T-Mobile (although lots of users have brought unlocked iPhones to T-Mobile in the past). I suspect that they will iron out these kinks eventually.

I can't speak for him, but for many folks HSPA+ ~12-20mbps speeds is more than adequate for the vast majority of smartphone applications. 4S supports that. Hell, my connection tops out at 4mbps in my area but I have no interest in paying double for my cell service for LTE speeds.

Bought my first Apple product was iPhone  1st generation. It was so new the network wasn't up and fully functional when I purchased the phone until a couple of days later. Every since I've had an iPhone 4, currently an iPhone 5. Bought a MacBook Pro 13" laptop after finished university, and traded it for a 24" iMac. Works like a charm.

I know, but it beats my flip phone I'm using right now, and money is tight. (Had to revert to my old sgh-a707) Beats this antique phone by a mile anyway. Plus, it's free, lol :D

I'd be suspect of Sprint more then iPhone.  Sprint isn't exactly known for having the best signal depending on what area of the country you are in.

Um, Lol I forgot about this thread, I actually got tired of Sprint and their ###### service went to AT&T and I'm no longer an iPhone owner...went back to Android

@Mr.XXIV I didn't have wifi at the moment to use airave. I was in a GOOD reception area and got crap service. but if I went on State st going towards canton, it was fine. I'm happy where I'm at now though

More than happy with my iPhone 5 and iPad mini both running iOS7 beta 6 :)

I have owned every generation of the iphone too, will probably sell my current 5 for a 5s when its out. It is white and unlocked too for those interested ;)

 iOS7 doesn't kill your eyes? it's pretty ugly and i ended up Googling that and found this.

    • I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
