Apple Unveils iPhone 4S; World Phone With Faster A5 Chip, Siri, 8-MP Camera, Faster Download Speeds, HD Video Recording

Apple Unveils iPhone 4S; World Phone With Faster A5 Chip, Siri, 8-MP Camera, Faster Download Speeds, HD Video Recording

After months of rumors and speculations, Apple unveiled their hotly anticipated fifth generation iPhone called iPhone 4S at the Let's Talk iPhone event earlier today.

As the name suggests, iPhone 4S is not a redesigned iPhone as many of us had hoped, it looks like iPhone 4 but comes with a number of new features and improvements.

Here's a list of new features and improvements:

A5 processor: iPhone 4S will be powered by Apple's A5 processor that currently powers iPad 2. Apple claims it delivers up to 2 times faster performance and up to 7 times faster graphics compared to iPhone 4's A4 chip.

8-Megapixel Camera: iPhone 4S gets an all-new 8 megapixel camera and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. The camera also comes with an improved backside illumination sensor, auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur.

HD Video recording: You will be able to shoot 1080p HD video using iPhone 4S. It also comes with image stabalization technology to avoid shaky videos.

World Phone: iPhone 4S is a dual mode or world phone, which means it will work on both GSM and CDMA network, which is a boon for CDMA iPhone users as they'll be able to roam GSM networks. Apple claims that iPhone 4S is the first phone to intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive, so call quality is better.

Faster Network Speeds: Apple has doubled the maximum HSDPA data speeds to 14.4 Mbps in iPhone 4S.

Improved Battery Life: iPhone 4S comes with improved battery life even though it comes with a faster processor.

Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G (from 7 hours in case of iPhone 4), up to 14 hours on 2G (GSM)Standby time: Up to 200 hoursInternet use: Up to 6 hours on 3G, up to 9 hours on Wi-FiVideo playback: Up to 10 hoursAudio playback: Up to 40 hoursSiri: Siri's is Apple's new personal assistant feature that is exclusively available on iPhone 4S. Using Siri, you can use voice commands to compose and dictate emails, schedule meetings, place phone calls, it can also find answers for you from the web through sources like Wikipedia, Yelp and WolframAlpha. It also can use location based services wherever required. You can send a text, ask for a reminder, ask for the weather or even the closest ATM using voice commands. Apple has covered a few more examples:

Siri understands context allowing you to speak naturally when you ask it questions, for example, if you ask “Will I need an umbrella this weekend?” it understands you are looking for a weather forecast. Siri is also smart about using the personal information you allow it to access, for example, if you tell Siri “Remind me to call Mom when I get home” it can find “Mom” in your address book, or ask Siri “What’s the traffic like around here?” and it can figure out where “here” is based on your current location. Siri helps you make calls, send text messages or email, schedule meetings and reminders, make notes, search the Internet, find local businesses, get directions and more. You can also get answers, find facts and even perform complex calculations just by asking.

Checkout the video of how it works:

It is clearly the killer feature of Apple's new iPhone. We still need to try it out, but it could be as revolutionary as iPhone's multi-touch interface.

Here are some other features that are also available in iPhone 4:

The gorgeous Retina display.It will come preinstalled with iOS 5, which brings over 200 new features and improvements.FaceTime - Apple's video recording feature.AirPlay and AirPrint support.Pricing:

iPhone 4S will be available for $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB model, $399 for the 64GB model.

Availability:

iPhone 4S will be available for pre-order in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Japan and Australia on October 7th and will be launching on October 14th and in 22 more countries Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithunia, Luxemberg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland on October 28th and 70 countries by the end of the year.

Though we can see that many of you are disappointed that Apple didn't launch a redesigned iPhone 5 with a larger screen, we think the specs bump and Siri makes it a great incremental upgrade.

Let us know what you think in the comments.

iPhone 4S: First Impressions And Hands-On [Video]

iPhone 4S: First Impressions And of tHands-On [Video]

After today's event, a number of people got the opportunity to get their hands on the new iPhone 4S.

First impressions of the new device and iOS5 from all over the board seem really positive, so let's take a closer look at some of the details.

Various sources unanimously tout the overall experience he iPhone 4S to be really fast and responsive. SlashGear puts it well:

Now with the dual-core 1GHz Apple A5 inside, with what is claimed to be 2x the performance and 7x the graphics speed of the iPhone 4, it’s all round a faster phone. Navigating between apps has never been slow, but there’s literally no lag to be found. Webpages rendered instantly, while pinch-zooming was silky smooth.

The consensus seems to be that the Camera app is much improved as well. Most sources claim that the speed difference is huge compared to the iPhone 4. The quality of the images seems great, but more time is needed to analyze the difference in depth.

The biggest buzz feature is, of course, Siri. Speculation about the inclusion of a voice recognition-based assistant led many to question how accurate it would be. From those who had hands-on experience, the news is that it's remarkably impressive. Engadget in particular praised Siri's accuracy:

We tried to psych it out with a bunch of random requests, including the history of Chester, Vermont (a lovely town) and the best Ramen places in San Francisco. Siri never faltered, never missed a beat. It worked as well as Scott's demo up on the stage. There's nothing better to say than that. We even sent ourselves a few text messages, which Siri transcribed to a T.

Regarding how easy it is to access, SlashGear says:

Usability is slick as well: whether you’re in the lock screen or the homescreen, you can hold the iPhone 4S to your ear and Siri will automatically kick in.

You can also checkout BBC's hands-on video with iPhone 4S, where Rory Celian-Jones takes Siri for a brief spin:

All in all, it seems well-integrated, very accurate, and easy to access from anywhere in iOS 5. The Siri experience seems to be dispelling doubts left and right, making the iPhone 4S a pretty solid device based on the initial impressions. Will it convince users to buy or upgrade to iPhone 4S remains to be seen.

As an iPhone 4 owner from day 1, I’m disappointed about the false claims of the iPhone 5, but Siri got my attention, and the potential is uncanny. Apple, despite your lack of changes, you have me with your AI assistance.

No false claims, just unfounded roumers.

This is a good next step until they develop a 4?-4?+ size retina display with ALL the new feature including the battery life to run the larger display! This is a good step for the next iphone. Don’t forget perfection has to wait for technology to catch up! 64gb, killer camera, A5 chip & canadian factory unlocked! Im in

Not for me I was caught out the last time upgraded from 3G to 3GS only for Apple to bring out the redesigned 4 a short time later had to have it could not get it through my carrier as I had about 18mths left on a two year contract so £500 direct from Apple contract up next month so I will wait dont want a repeat of last time

October 05, 2011 at 4:01 AM Reply A Black Dude said...

it was not a “short time later” they come out with a new phone every year…it your

October 05, 2011 at 8:14 AM Reply DiabloZoe said...

Way to compare an epic fail to another iPhone. Compare it to Sammys new phone and see how it does. What’s fucked is that even though they say they won’t they will jump on this phone why? Gotta have apples latest and gratest! Bullshit I’m done with apple!

October 05, 2011 at 4:06 AM Reply Apel said...

Your dumb no one is telling you to buy the 4s they just realease a new product to try to get mainly people without iPhones to get them. I’m pretty sure siri is for iPhone 4 too

October 05, 2011 at 5:14 AM Reply BB said...

Siri for iPhone 4 is being discontinued – loss of functionality for iPhone 4 users. They can only get it back buy purchasing the 4s. That seems a shame.

October 05, 2011 at 6:25 AM Reply Kiwiholden said...

No it isn’t. It’s not fast enough.

October 05, 2011 at 6:25 AM Reply WritingForProfit said...

I think people are too emotional when it comes to Apple. The iphone 4 form factor is beautiful, but because of all the hype leading towards the unveil, I admit it even sparked my interest in an exciting new form factor. I fell into the temporary fantasy world where apple would shock and awe us again with an even more beautiful form factor that is thinner. When that didn’t happen, I felt a little disappointed.

Now that the dust has settled, I realize that the internal upgrade is still a very good one. The speed increase will be very nice. All in all, I love the iphone 4 design and will welcome the hardware improvements.

As for others, if you don’t think this is a worthy enough improvement, then just don’t upgrade or if you feel that android has more to offer, go try it out for yourself.

I agree with you. Same happened to me. At first I was a little disappointed by there not being a redesign, but then looking back I realized that the iPhone 4S is a substantial upgrade, and I liked the iPhone 4 design any way. I will be getting one on launch day that’s for sure. I’m happy with the upgrades that apple have made to the next iPhone. For the people who aren’t. don’t buy it? I sure don’t care if no one buys it, I will be happy with it, and that’s all that matters to me

October 05, 2011 at 9:12 AM Reply Sonny said...

So in 2013 I will be getting the iPhone 5s

October 05, 2011 at 6:09 AM Reply ricengga said...

im so glad i waited it out with my 3gs i know how apple does buisness they hold things back for a reason to make more money I’m sure iPhone 4 owners feel bad that they will have to buy the same phone they already have with a few tweaks I’m sure that kinda stings a little

October 05, 2011 at 6:16 AM Reply ybt said...

I don’t feel bad. I’m happy.

October 05, 2011 at 9:28 AM Reply MrEd said...

No innovation whatsoever… I’m moving!!!

October 05, 2011 at 6:33 AM Reply Pacomac said...

I think most people are pissed about the lack of new design. I do think the 4s is a big step forward but it will take time for us to realize the differences. Think about it, would you buy a 3G when the 3GS is so much better, although it didn’t seem much of a leap at the time. What other phone has 64Gb of internal storage? What other phone has an 8MP camera with 1080p video and Image Stablization? The 1Mb memory and A5 chip are a big deal, as most other phones needed this kind of spec just to get anywhere close to the speed of iOS. This upgrade will put the 4s in a league of it’s own in terms of performance. Whilst I’m disappointed there is no new design, I’m happy with everything else.

October 05, 2011 at 6:49 AM Reply fas said...

A design change was so expected, tapered..

October 05, 2011 at 7:37 AM Reply ricengga said...

the new design is for the iPhone5 then an updated version of it is going to be the iPhone5s so this phone should hold threw till iPhone5s lol
