Apple has really kept us waiting for their newest smartphone. To be exact, it's been 16 months since the iPhone 4 was released. But now, the waiting time is finally over. Today, Apple introduced their newest smartphone. And no, it's not the iPhone 5. It's called the iPhone 4S. As the name suggests, it's an improved version of its predecessor. Read on to find out what those improvements are.
First of all: it looks exactly like the iPhone 4. Every speculations about a thinner phone, with a bigger screen and that wider capacitive home-button did (very sadly, in our opinion) not become real. Apple kept the changes in the inside. To sum up, it's the following:
- A5 dual-core processor
- 8MP rear camera recording in 1080p at 30 fps
- 16, 32 or 64GB of internal storage
- 3.5 inch IPS display at 960x640 pixels
- GSM and CDMA
- Bluetooth 4.0
- running iOS 5 (obviously)
In addition to that, it's got a new function called "Siri". It lets you do basically everything you can with your iPhone - but with your voice. Texting, browsing, calling someone etc. And it's supposed to work brilliant. But we'll see about that.
Wrap-up
Well, I suppose everyone can see that this doesn't even nearly get close to a revolutionary phone. With its dual-core processor, it barely catches up to current Android devices. Soon, even the screen will be outdated when the first phones with a HD-display hit the market (not to mention that 3.5 inches can't be taken seriously these times anymore). Trying to not punish Apple too hard, I have to say it is indeed a good phone. But for the price of $199 (16GB), $299 (32GB) or $399 (64GB) on contract, I want a brilliant phone.
However, if you think it's worth the money, you can place your order on October 7th and it will start shipping on October 14th.
