Apple released their new iPhone today called the iPhone 4S. Looks like they used a similar strategy as they did with they updated the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS. They update the internals, add an ‘S’, and keep the design basically unchanged.
So what’s new? They updated to the A5 processor found in the iPad 2 (a dual core version of the A4 found in the iPhone 4), upgraded the camera to 8 megapixel (up from 5 megapixel), added 1080P video recording (up from 720P), turned it into a world phone (no more separate AT&T and Verizon phones), added Sprint as an available carrier, and added Siri personal assistant.
Apple says this new phone will have 2 times the processor speed and 7 times the graphics performance. This should make the phone much speedier than the iPhone 4. Judging from some of the reviews I’ve been reading, Siri looks pretty impressive and I can’t wait to get my hands on a 4S so I can give it a try.
All in all I think it is a solid update. What do you think? Let me know in the comments area.
