Apple Inc. just announced iPhone 4s a couple days ago. Instead of releasing iPhone 5, they released the iPhone 4s instead. Even though there were many speculations before that Apple would release the iPhone 5 this year. What is the reason behind that, I don’t know yet. But from my point of view, Apple wants to take advantage to gain the market share, since Samsung with their Galaxy S2 and soon Nokia will release their very first Windows 8 powered smartphone near this November.
iPhone 4s Features
iPhone 4s comes with these new features:
- Siri: an intelligent voice recognition which allows you to use voice commands to iPhone 4s
- Dual-core A5 chip: gives you more processing power such as for gaming and doing multitasking processes, but using less battery. So it also increases the battery life
- The 8MP camera: now you can capture your moment and share it with your friends who will doubt you when you say you captured it with a mobile phone. The lens has improved backside illumination sensor, excellent auto white balance, advanced color accuracy, face detection, and reduced motion blur
