Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” mega event on October 4th, had mixed feelings among its audiences. Many had expected it to be the launch of the iPhone 5, but instead it showcased the iPhone 4S - an upgraded version of the iPhone 4. iPhone 4S was on the cards, but was a bit tricky to guess?
As the saying goes, “All’s well that ends well”. Let’s hope it does well. The iPhone 4S although identical to its predecessor, is more smarter and faster. Forget the look for a moment, and you will find the real deal inside.
iPhone 4S is equipped with A5 dual-core 1 GHz processor and dual-core graphics. The A5 chip is expected to deliver up to 2 times more power and up to 7 times faster graphics. No matter what you do, you will find the new iPhone 4S quick and responsive. It is adorned with an enhanced 8MP camera with 1080p high-definition video capability and video stabilizer. Now, going outdoors without a digital camera isn’t a big deal.
One of the wow-factor in the new iPhone 4S is the introduction of Siri. If you are wondering what Siri is, it is the advanced voice activated assistant. For instance say, you want to set an appointment. Instead of manually searching for the calendar and typing the appointment date and time, voice out your needs on your iPhone 4S and Siri does it for you. Interestingly, it not only creates an appointment but it checks if you have any other appointments on that scheduled date and time and prompts you if there is any.
Siri is not only useful for setting up reminders; you can make calls, send texts, even check the weather, look for contacts, ask for directions, ask for food joints near you and much more. While Siri is not a replacement for the current Voice Control feature, but it definitely is an intelligent feature worth admiration.
The iPhone 4S is enhanced with dual aerials to switch over to the faster and stronger signal available. Connect, load, reload, and download at a much faster HSPDA data speed of up to 14.4 Mbps. The battery life as claimed by Apple is expected to give 8 hours of talk time and 6 hours of browsing over 3G network, 14 hours over 2G network, and 9 hours through Wi-Fi. The new iPhone 4S is expected to provide a long 10 hours of video playback, and even longer 40 hours of music playback. The credit for this outstanding performance goes to the dual-core A5 chip which is so power-efficient.
iOS 5 – the latest OS from Apple with over 200 new features will debut with the iPhone 4S. It is surely an attention grabber and you can be the first to explore it. Well, for the iPhone 5, we will have to wait a little longer. Is these specs enough to make up your mind for the new iPhone 4S or are you going to cling on to your old iPhone? iPhone 4S will be available in Apple Retail Stores from October 14th, while pre-order on the Apple Online Store has already begun.
