5 major gripes against iPhone 4S despite its record sales in early days

Nothing is perfect in this world and the same is the story of the Apples's latest product iPhone 4S. It had applauds and very positive reviews so far but as time passes, there have been a number of complaints from the users already using it. Despite it record sales and over-sizing demands, the product to failed to be called a perfect model. Here is a brief detail about the 5 major gripes which iPhone 4S faced in these two weeks.

1. Slow service on Sprint
The big news on the carrier front for the iPhone 4S was that Sprint would be added as an approved mobile carrier, joining AT&T and Verizon. But some Sprint customers didn't get off to a very good start. Many users were reporting slow data speed for the first couple of days.

2. Weak battery
At the October 4 presentation unveiling the iPhone 4S, Phil Schiller , Apple vice president for product management, praised its "fantastic battery life" that would allow people to talk for eight hours before needing to charge the device again. But the user experience completely belied this claim. Users even complained of the new iPhone being more battery draining than iPhone 4.

3. Siri outside the United States
A product like iPhone is surely meant for a global market but not for a particular country or state. But the most discussed feature in iPhone, SIRI, failed to please the customers abroad. The same software which was praised in US for its revolutionary performance but all non-native English speakers faced problems using it.

4. Camera problems
An 8 megapixel camera was another selling point for the new iPhone, but users reported a number of issues not only about picture clarity but also about shutter speed. Some users even reported that iPhone gets stuck while using camera andthey have no other option but to restart the device.

5. Screen appearance
Users have also reported complaints about its display, as a yellowish tint or spots appears on the screen of their phones, making the resolution fuzzier than older phones. This issue was also there in previous iPhone. The tint and glow of the screen fades away in a couple of days.
