Apple's iPhone 4S: Faster, and a Better Listener, But the Same iPhone You Know and Love

Joy... A new phone with no real reason for being. Android 4G here I come.

Mean while back at the Apple lab. Hey guys got any new ideas for the iPhone4. They reply nope.
Ok, well will pass it up to marketing.
Marketing take that no and puts a S on it and increase the price.
"Wooooo! iPhone4S; Now that is special!"

Or

I think the hackers of the world should start doing some over clocking iPhones and see where this takes us!;)

still doesnt compare to android phones

Congrats Apple, you've made the iPhone just as good as my original Evo 4g and charged $100 more. I'm sure you'll make millions off your stooge fan base.

(Disclaimer: I know it's slightly better in a few select aspects, namely processor and base memory... but that's about it. And I get to change my memory whenever I want.)

And as I have already said...Apple slowly falls to the depths of nothing...poor poor Apple oh how you fail

you'd have to b a right f n dumbass to buy one of these.. or even waist an upgrade on it.... still missing key features that the 5 will have... they do it all the time, just to make you buy the 5 even though you bought this.. of course the 5 will be missing what HTC has.. so then you'll buy the 5 version2.0 too! ... and the cycle goes on and on... .

apple doesn't make quality products,, they make quantity products.. products that you'll buy even though you don't need to,, they'll market the crap out of it because they're smarter than you in their eyes.... unfortunately the dumb people aren't learning fast enough yet... they'll still get one.

apple's new motto "a sucker born every minute"

i wonder now that Jobs is dead if they'll reopen the charities the closed down when they rehired him..... man never gave a dime of his own money away... and he didn't want the company waisting his new bigger salary on charity either.,... bastard died to old.. shoulda been 20years ago and done the world a favour.

cheers, eh

Everyone dogging apple is ridiculous.I mean it is downright humorous to hear someone say that the new iphone 4s is just a new price tag on the same phone. I don't know if people are ignorant or just hating on apple, (and i can enjoy a good apple dis when deserved), but c'mon. Same phone? really?

Maybe you might think about how droids have progressed.

Ive had the original droid for 2 years and the only thing different with it and the new ones are the processor and camera? What else is there to change between phones. The droid started out 500 mhz, then droid two with 1ghz, now droid bionic with dual core 1ghz processors. What is the difference in these phones other than the processors? I mean honestly, phones are rated on processing power, camera quality, battery life, and how well they call and surf the web. Seeing as how every one of these features were upgraded between the 4 and 4s, how is it the 4s is the same.

As far as apple makes quantity not quality? What the heck are you talking about. The ratio of android phones to iphones is like 10 to 1. For everyone iphone release there are 10 androids, all of which vary in basically functionality. The lack of a cohesive product in the android line is probably why the phones are so much glitchier than an iphone. Im not Apple fan boy, the 4s will be the first apple product i ever bought, but ptv83 sounds like he was personally assaulted by steve jobs. Which by the way invalidates your overzealous opinion. And whether it is the Iphone 4s or 5 is simple semantics. It is new under the hood in every way.

There are thousands of apps available for your iphone 4s some for business, and some for pleasure. For those of us who use the iPhones primarily for fun, the new iPhone 4S can offer state-of-the-art viewing and listening delight. Apple’s brand new iPhone 4S features a dynamic, powerful dual-core processor and an advanced 8 megapixel camera, which make streaming music and taking brilliant photographs a walk in the park. Plus, with an f/2.4 aperture to let in more light and fast multi-tasking capabilities, Apple’s new model makes it quicker and easier than ever to listen to and capture your world. If you use your iPhone 4S for music, there are a lot of great apps available to help you get the most out of your listening experience. The popular song-recognition app Shazam lets you press a button, play a song for your iPhone 4S to hear, and find out instantly the name of the song, the recording artist, the album the song appears on, the lyrics to the song, the music video, a link to buy the song, and a link to share the song with your social network. I’m always amazed at how well this app works, even with some more obscure songs and artists. Shazam is a must-have app for any music aficionado. And if you’re like me and love listening to music on the go, Last.fm,Spotify and Pandora apps all have excellent streaming capability, tons of features and simple user interface. They do take up a lot of data, though, so check with your service provider before streaming. Apple’s newest product, the iPhone 4S, introduces several new features and a whole lot of upgrades from the iPhone 4. Even though the new model looks almost exactly the same as the previous one, the iPhone 4S features some great performance improvements that make it the most advanced smartphone on the market. First of all, the iPhone 4S boasts Apple’s newest, super-fast dual-core processor and GPU. So what does that mean for you? Apple claims this new A5 processor (the same one used in the brand new iPad 2) will make the iPhone 4S twice as fast as the iPhone 4, and graphic performance up to seven times as fast. The A5 chip makes the new iPhone 4S ideal for games and other graphics-intensive apps. Even web-browsing and multi-tasking will reach new levels with this kind of speed and power. And even with all that processing power, the iPhone 4S will offer a much longer battery life – up to 8 hours of talking on a 3G network, 9 hours of watching videos or 40 hours of listening to music. Apple also claims the smartphone delivers a standby time of up to 200 hours.
