Which iphone is best?

From what I’ve hear about iPhones, they are really cool.  I would like one because their like a bunch of gadgets all wrapped up in one. They have cameras, a video recorder, Internet access and hours of talk and audio.  There’s a few models to choose from but which one is best for me? To dig deeper in my studies, I searched the web and found a comparison chart on about.com.  I am debating between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4s, both good phones...but whats the difference?

    Both of these iPhones contain similar features like taking pictures and movies.  I love taking pictures and shooting videos of my family and friends so higher quality pictures definitely matters when purchasing an iPhone.  The real difference between the two is memory space, higher camera resolution and; on the iPhone 4S, it also has the program; Siri.  Siri is basically a voice command system and the only iPhone that has it is the iPhone 4S.  The iPhone 4S contains 3 more mega pixel for the camera than the iPhone 4, which results in better pictures.   Battery life also matters a lot.  You can talk up to an hour more on the iPhone 4S, but it has an hour less Internet browsing time than the iPhone 4.  I like to talk on the phone, but most of the time,  I talk for half an hour or less so talk time isn’t super important.  I really like listening to music and the iPhone 4S can hold up to 8,000 songs more than the iPhone  4.  Both these phones are the about the same weight and size.  But the real thing that I immediately looked at was the price. The iPhone 4S is $300 more than the iPhone 4!  

I ultimately decided that the iPhone 4 is better for me. Sure it doesn’t have as much memory or a higher resolution on the camera, but the iPhone 4S is WAY out of my price range.  I can live without Siri, the voice command program (even though its very cool) and I don’t need a massive amount of memory.  The iPhone 4 is just as portable and easy to use, not to mention its not almost $400 like the iPhone 4S.  I mean, if you think about it , phones used to just be used for calling people and the iPhone 4 definitely offers a lot more features than regular phones. Yeah, maybe the iPhone 4S does have cooler features, higher resolution, and Siri, but having more to offer doesn’t necessarily mean its the right one for me. I’m not willing to spend as much as the iPhone 4S costs but the price of the iPhone 4 is in my range. The iPhone 4 seems to be the right one for me!
