New Apple Iphone V 4s

I have someone here at Kilcowera now who has a Samsung S4, the reception for this phone here is totally crappy! I sure wouldn't buy one.

Is it the later blue tick version and is it on telsta.



cheers

Yes and Yes, she bought it specifically for those reasons and the fact she was coming to visit us here. Toni

My daughter has the new I Phone 5, my years old Nokia C5 runs rings around it as far as reception is concerned, All the hype about Apple doesn't seem to add up to me.

Got to love people who don't look at the WHOLE picture, the Iphone rated equal 4th out of twenty phones and only just missed coming third by a a few points....... yes way behind WHAT?

To say it doesn't receive as good as the 4S is like saying a 200 series landcruiser isn't as good as a 60 series in .00001% of off roading but is better in every other aspect.

If you look at the durability numbers the phone that came 2nd only got a score of 50 out of 100 and the phone that came in third could only get a score of 75 out of 100 with sound quality 9 points behind the iPhone....... the iPhone got 100 out of 100 for durability.

No use having a phone with the best reception iif the durability isn't their and you can't make phone calls because it had failed.

It would of been nice for them to print what criteria and parameters they used to obtain this data and what the difference was in measurable units .... was the winning phone 5cm's, 5m's or 5km's better.

We have two iPhone 5's and the reception between the two is different but not one is better then the other.

If they used the iPhone 4s in place of the 5 where would of scored ?...... you have to remember the 4s was judged along with the current phones of that time so the score it obtained can not be used as proof it is any better then the iPhone 5.

Not sure of your point olcoolone.

The OP asked about a replacement with good reception for his IPhone 4s. My post was simply to highlight the research that compares bluetooth phones. I highlighted that the Iphone 5 gets a score of 84 verses 93 for the previous model.

The OP didn't ask about durability, quality, colour or any other parameter you choose to raise to include the "whole picture". Only you are raising those points ahich are apparently important in your mind to you.

Gees this forum is getting worse for people answering questions no one ever asked. It's getting harder to try to help without criticism from unrelated parties.

Not sure of my point....... your comparing one survey done on old phones and comparing those figures with another survey on new phones done at different times.

The numbers quoted would only be relevant to the other phones tested at the same time or if they revisited the old and new phones and carried out the same tests at the same time..... and if the 4s out scored the 5s today then I would say the 4s is better.

So if a 60 series got a overall score of 55 points 30 years ago and the new 200 series got a score of 40 points yesterday does that mean the 200 series is worse and not worth considering now.... but if you were to compare a 30 year old 60 series in new condition today against a 200 series today that would be a true and fair comparison.

Yes the forum is getting worse when someone uses old data and tries to compare it with new current data.... sure your comparing apples with apples but of different variety and season!

Olcoolone, please take the time to read the test methodology. The score for reception is carefully done in a test environment that is consistent year to year. The reception scores are absolute and not relative to other phones in a particular year, or other years. Any particular phone would get the same score regardless of when is is tested. They do it that way so you CAN compare phones in previous tests which may still be available, like the 4s!

If you read the later report they also mention that the Iphone 5 has worse reception than the 4s.

I'm not sure of the relevance of the 60 series and 200 series. What I do know is that the OP asked about phone recption in a new phone and I was highlighting a report that could help him. Given he was upgrading from a 4s, he may chose a 5 assuming that it has equivalent or better reception, but it doesn't.

If he upgrades from a 60 series to a 200 then I am sure your input would have some value then.

True, apparently we are all experts at everything!

Yeap being 4 wheel drive you have to be so skilled and an expert in so many disciplines with years of study and research ( and what you don't know Google will help) we should all get diplomas in every thing man has every done or is going to do...... it should be automatic, something new is discovered and two days later we should get a diploma for that in the mail......

Man walked on the Moon in the 60's..... we were walking on Mars in the 50's sleeping in our uninvented roof top tents driving around with tyres pressures at 17 inches of mercury.

Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin in 1928 and we had it in our 4 wheel drive first aid kits 8 years before.

In1891 Richard Hornsby and his two Sons, were playing around with the first known internal combustion engine to use fuel injection..... 4 wheel drivers were already converting used Cobb and Co coaches over before then!

What will the next 100 years hold?

And are we going to be able to sustain so many experts on one planet?
