Note(s):
The iPhone 4 appears to do less depth of field during filming than the iPhone 4S.

Both the iPhone 4 and 4S require manual focus adjustments by the person taking the video as the subject moves closer or further away. No adjustments were made during the shooting of this video.

Audio on the iPhone 4 appears to be noticeably more muffled than that of the 4S.

Due in part to a lower video resolution, the iPhone 4 shot video at a data rate that is below half of the iPhone 4S. This means you'll need double the available storage space on the phone when shooting video on the 4S.

The iPhone 4S includes a more dramatic built-in image stabilization feature. You'll probably notice a clear difference between the two videos, even though they were both held in the same hand.
