The touch effect of the iPhone 4S goes away or rather becomes harder as the age of the phone progresses. It can definitely annoy considering the fact that you may have to do without the touching at times.
Touch effect when the phone is new
When the iPhone 4S is new then the touch effect is something that is similar to most of the phones. It works fine and you are quite happy with it. It is just about the normal thing. In a newer condition it is almost the same or a little behind the N8 phones. The N8 phones though have the best quality even when they are new and you simply love to enjoy the touching experience. It is indeed a joy. With the iPhone 4S it is also good. However even in the newer condition one can see a little difference and probably get the feeling that the N8 is slightly better than the iPhone 4S in terms of the touching experience when the phones are quite new.
Touch effect when the phone gets older
This is very concerning thing and here is the perfect situation where you get to see a marked difference between the Nokia N8 and the Apple iPhone 4S. As the phone gets older that is the iPhone 4S the touch factor starts getting harder and harder in the sense that you have to put the extra effort in order to make it work. This is really very frustrating thing as you will have to use the keypad and that makes it very clumsy. Now with the N8 phones getting older you will still find that silk smooth going along with the phone. It is as good as the time when you purchased it. You do not have to use the extra effort in order to make it work like the iPhone 4S. It will still operate in the finest of manner and you will have to use the feather touch in order to get the things that you want. This is technology at its best and you get that only with N8 and not with the iPhone 4S. No one will like to have something that needs to be replaced after some time. You will have to either do without the touch or will have to do it harder every time you use it on the Apple iPhone 4S. This is certainly not the desired thing and it will make things very complicated for you. Nokia N8 phones lead the Apple iPhone 4S in this regard and it is very obvious that you definitely need the features to be as good as well as long lasting. It should not be something that fades away with time and leaves you helpless. With iPhone 4S this is the case and you will feel like as if you are wasting a too much of time by losing on the most essential thing that is the touch factor that comes along with these phones. You are left with little or no choice at all.
