iPhone 4S Review

Sixteen months. 16 lengthy months of waiting. Is the iPhone 4S worth it?

Apple fans have been waiting for the iPhone five - no doubt. Several had been expecting Apple and Steve Jobs to finally deliver the goods at Tuesday's October four keynote. But Steve did not make it (god rest his soul) and Tim Cook created his very first media appearance as CEO, and rather released the iPhone 4S.

So is it fantastic, or not? What's the actual story? I submit to you my iPhone 4S Evaluation.

Let's start off with the great.

Initially off, the new dual core A5 chip. It is rapidly. Truly quickly... two occasions faster than the chip in the iPhone 4 and 7 times quicker graphics processing. The game play looks stunning sweet.

The camera has been upgraded also. 8 megapixel, autofocus, face detection for nonetheless images, and HD video recording up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. OMG!

Battery life has been improved... up to 8 hours talk time on the 3G network, 14 hours on the GSM network, ten hours of video playback time, 40 hours of audio playback, and standby time is clocked at 200 hours (8.3 days!)

Now let's move on to the good.

Voice manage ala Siri. According to the Apple website, Siri not only understands what you say, it knows what you mean. It figures out the perfect apps to use to come across the correct answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, it answers you. Siri makes telephone calls, sends messages, schedules meetings, sets reminders, takes dictation, and more. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Envision sending Tweets by way of your voice, or updating Facebook? Apple says that Siri is so hassle-free to use and does so considerably, you'll maintain acquiring even more and additional methods to use it. It's first generation and will only boost, but wowzers.

Now for the bad.

It is not thinner, and it is heavier than its predecessor.

It does not function a bigger touchscreen that's Android phones have had for at least a year, which Apple buyers have been begging for considering that kingdom come. Like the original iPhone 4, this model nevertheless has the exact same time three.5-inch display screen.

Now the ugly.

No SD slot. If I am shooting a bunch of video, I am out of luck when space runs out till I connect to a computer system I can sync with to get the videos I shot, out. Why no SD slot? Are you listening here Apple?

This telephone also has no access to the high-speed 4G networks. None. How can it not, soon after all that time? Ugh!

It looks precisely like the iPhone 4. No distinction at all. How dull.

The verdict?

Will need to you purchase the new iPhone 4S? It releases October 14 to retail, pre-orders start October 7. Only you can decide.

Pick nicely my pals.
