iPhone 4S battery life, lack of 4G criticized by users: Survey

iPhone 5 not needed yet? Report shows majority of iPhone 4S owners are “very satisfied.”

Define “very satisfied”?
Well, it looks like Apple’s new iPhone 4S and its features like Siri, dual-core CPU and 8-megapixel camera are more than enough to satisfy the consumers based on the new report posted by ChangeWave.
The new survey is claiming that customer satisfaction ratings for the iPhone 4S are higher compared to the previous iPhone model, the iPhone 4. Surveyed iPhone 4S customers said they’re very satisfied with the new product, while a small number of customers said said they’re “somewhat satisfied.”
Changewave’s research found that 77 percent of iPhone 4S customers are “Very Satisfied,” while 19 percent said they’re somewhat satisfied. Only 1 percent of the participants said they’re somewhat dissatisfied, while 1 percent said they’re not happy with the new iPhone 4S and gave the “very dissatisfied” mark.

Apparently, many Apple fans were disappointed by the announcement of the iPhone 4S because they were expecting the iPhone 5 with a rumored brand new design. However, the 8-megapixel camera and the voice dictation feature Siri have successfully satisfied the consumers’ craving for technology, if the new survey is to be believed.
The data show that Siri is the number 1 feature of the new iPhone 4S and 49 percent of customers said they like the new feature. The ease of use of Apple’s iOS operating system also helped the new iPhone 4S with 9 percent of customers saying that they like the intuitive operating system. Apple’s game changing 8-megapixel camera also grabbed an average passing rate with 33 percent of customers saying that they like the new digital camera offering.
But here’s the catch, many customers said they don’t like the short battery life plaguing the iPhone 4S. In fact, 38 percent of the respondents “dislike” the battery life problem. According to Apple’s statement, only a “small number” of iPhone 4S users are affected, but the new survey is suggesting the opposite.
30 percent of the iPhone 4S customers also criticized the lack of 4G, or the faster data speed offered by wireless carriers now, the Long Term Evolution. Apparently, Apple’s rival, the Google Android ecosystem, is already offering the technology. One of the biggest rivals of the iPhone 4S, the upcoming Galaxy Nexus with the new Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, will offer the LTE or Long Term Evolution that will run under the banner of Verizon Wireless. Rumors say the device will land in stores this month.
According to the latest data presented by multiple research firms, Google Android is still the most popular operating system, and 4G LTE is considered by many as one of the compelling features of the platform.
