<span class="cnet100_2">The Duds</span>You may remember the iPhone 4S from our <a href="http://www.cnet.com/2300-33506_1-10010530.html">2011 winners lists</a>. So this must be a mistake, right? <br /><br /> Actually, no. As great as the iPhone 4S is, it still feels like 2010's iPhone 4 with a slight makeover--a faster processor, a better camera, a 64GB option, and a voice-recognition hussy named Siri who's sometimes useful but easily ignored. <br /><br /> Think back to all the hype. Where's the larger screen? The 4G LTE wireless? The radical teardrop design? In short, where's the iPhone 5? <br /><br /> So, yeah--great phone. But we can't lie: we expected more. Maybe next year. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.cnet.com/cnet100">Return to the CNET 100.</a>
