After a very interesting launch event from Apple the whole world now knows there is to be no iPhone 5 released in 2011 but instead an update to the current iPhone 4 called the 4S.
This new iPhone 4S takes on exactly the same housing and thus dimensions of the current phone but packs in far more technology, features and software to bring it in line with competing handsets from rival manufacturers.
Firstly, the Apple iPhone 4S is to house the A5 dual core processing chip found in the iPad 2, this makes the 4S twice as fast as the iPhone 4 and able to handle multiple requests and applications speedily and smoothly.
The second big improvement comes in the camera department with the new model sporting an 8 mega pixel lens which can snap pictures at super fast speeds, it also supports full 1080p HD video recording and now lets in 70% more light for higher quality pictures.
The camera can now take its first picture in only 1.1 seconds and then it's second in just half a second allowing the user to quickly capture moments as they happen, the sensor also captures 60% more pixels than before for even higher quality photographs.
Moving onto the battery, this has also been improved to produce 8 hours talking over 3G (Facetime), 14 hours over 2G, 40 hours of playing back music and 9 hours of continuous Wi-Fi usage, far more than the current iPhone 4 and good news for heavy users.
Although the main touch screen display size has not changed it does now offer 7 times better graphics (as quoted by Apple at their launch event), and the manufacturer has also improved connectivity by including two 3G antennas which can now generate connection speeds of up to 14.4Mbps.
One of the big talking points of the launch event was surrounding the inclusion of 'Siri' which is the voice search company that Apple bought last year, Siri is a system-wide voice navigational tool and actually interacts with the user.
This new feature allows the user to directly ask the new iPhone 4S questions and Siri will respond incorporating one of the best non-Google search engines; Wolfram Alpha.
Questions demonstrated at Apple's event include "How many days until Christmas?' to which a rather electronic voice from the iPhone 4S replies exactly, others included 'What's the weather like?' and 'Where's the nearest restaurant?' and each time the phone came back with an accurate answer, all pretty impressive!
The biggest stumbling block for the iPhone 4S is that it looks exactly the same as the current iPhone 4, this means other people will not know you own this latest piece of mobile technology and may put some off investing what is a high price tag for something that looks the same.
iPhone 4S deals are to be launched on October 14th and when they do the current iPhone 4 deals are to be discounted as well as a new 8GB edition launch, for further news and latest deals please see our website: Phones Limited.
