 A top publication of consumer product reviews added the iPhone 4S to its recommended smartphone list yesterday, but it rated Apple's mobile lower than several handsets based on Google's Android operating system. "Apple's newest smartphone performed very well in our tests, and while it closely resembles the iPhone 4 in appearance, it doesn't suffer the reception problem we found in its predecessor in special tests in our labs," Mike Gikas, a senior electronics editor at Consumer Reports wrote at the organization's website.
