tested iPhone 4S Carrier Shootout AT&T vs. Sprint vs. Verizon Wireless: Which is best by Davey Alba The AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless versions of the iPhone 4S all sold out after their release last October. And the overwhelming demand is understandable, given the brilliant Siri voicecontrolled assistant, faster dual-core processor and super-sharp 8-megapixel camera. But which of the carrier models is best We evaluated all three versions based on pricing plans, data speeds and call quality to help you decide which iPhone 4S is right for you. Pricing Plans Let’s say you opt for the minimum amount of minutes on each of the carriers (450 minutes), unlimited text messaging, and 2GB of data (it’s unlimited for Sprint). If you factor in the cost of the $199 iPhone 4S, over two years you’d pay $2,120 on Sprint, versus $2,240 on AT&T and $2,360 on Verizon. If you went with Sprint, you’d save $120 versus AT&T and $240 versus Verizon. However, Sprint charges more than the other carriers to use your phone as a hotspot—$30 versus $20. Winner: Sprint. Provided you don’t want to use your phone as a hotspot—something we wouldn’t recommend with a 3G phone anyway—Sprint’s plans are much more affordable than AT&T’s and Verizon’s. And you don’t have to watch the data meter, either. Data Speeds The AT&T version of the iPhone is the only one that supports speeds up to 14.4 Mbps on the carrier’s HSPA network, while the Sprint and Verizon versions are tied to older and slower EV-DO networks. So it wasn’t a surprise that AT&T turned in the fastest download and upload speeds in our three testing locations using the Speedtest.net app. For uploads, the AT&T iPhone 4S pulled off an average rate of 1 Mbps and 250 Kbps for uploads. 36 Laptop | January 2012 www.laptopmag.com
