iPhone 4S

Some may say that the iPhone 4S was a let down from all of the hype and rumours that were formed about the iPhone 5, but without a doubt the phone is still an advancement and comes with many more features than the previous iPhone 4. The 4S goes a long way to ironing out some of the issues and hangups of the earlier generation, and with some of its new features Apple may restore its reputation as the finest smartphone producer in the market.

I want to highlight some of these features and describe their intelligence as many consumers who were dissatisfied with only a "4S" are overlooking the importance and advancement of this astonishing technology.

Introducing Siri -

Dual-core A5 Chip - the most powerful iPhone processor to exist - has two cores in the A5 chip that delivers up to 2X more power and up to seven times faster graphics. This will be significantly noticeable when launching apps, browsing the web, gaming and doing just about everything. Since the A5 chip is so power-efficient, the iPhone 4S has an outstanding battery life.

8MP Camera - the best camera on a phone to exist - with a 8-megapixel resolution and a custom lens with a larger f/2.4 aperture. Not to mention an improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced colour accuracy, face detection and reduced motion blur. It all means that no matter how many people, how much light, and how much action you capture, everything looks exactly as it should.

HD 1080P Video Recording - Record amazing 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second. The advanced backside illumination sensor and larger aperture let in even more light. Improved auto white balance makes colour even more accurate and temporal noise reduction helps you take great videos in low light. It also features video stabilization which removes unwanted motion caused by unsteady hands. With a tap of your finger the camera focuses on a specific object or area in a scene with subjects in both the foreground and the background.

Retina display - the iPhone 4S is the highest-resolution phone screen ever. The pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. But without a doubt, you’ll notice crisp text, sharp graphics and stunning images.

iOS 5 - iOS is a desktop-class operating system that’s been reinvented for mobile devices. Because it’s based on the world’s most advanced computer operating system — Mac OS X — performance in iOS is fast and stability is rock-solid. It manages power efficiently and delivers outstanding battery life. iOS even ensures that performance and battery life don’t suffer when you’re multitasking with multiple apps open at the same time.

iCloud - is the easiest way to manage all your stuff, because it manages it all for you. iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents and more, and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.

FaceTime - FaceTime works right out of the box — no need to set up a special account or screen name. The front camera allows the person who you are communicating with to see you and the back camera allows them to see your surroundings.

AirPlay - With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream what’s on your iPhone to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. And with AirPlay Mirroring, whatever you see and do on your iPhone appears on your HDTV at the same time.

AirPrint - Print your email, photos, web pages and documents right from your iPhone over Wi-Fi. There’s no software to download, no drivers to install and no cables to connect. With just a few taps, you can go from viewing something on the iPhone screen to holding a printed copy.

iPhone 4S is the first phone to intelligently switch between two antennas to transmit and receive, so call quality is better. It also doubles the maximum HSDPA data speeds to 14.4 Mbps. Which means faster connections, faster loading and reloading and faster downloads. And iPhone 4S is a world phone, so you can use it almost anywhere.
