14th in the uk
What's this? The second coming of the iPhone 4? Sure enough, Tim Cook just pulled the covers off of the hotly-anticipated iPhone 4S here in Cupertino. On the outside the 4S looks exactly like its predecessor, but on the inside it's "all new." Apple has jammed a dual-core A5 CPU inside alongside a new dual-core GPU that supposedly boosts graphics performance by up to 7x. Up front is the same 3.5-inch Retina display we've all come to know and love, and around back is a glass plate. That antenna around the sides (which caused many users so much trouble) has been revamped and can intelligently switch between two different sets of antennae on the fly to avoid dropping calls based on how you hold it. Those antennas are connected to a dual-mode GSM and CDMA radio that will let Apple's handset roam the globe while enjoying either 14.4Mbps HSPA+ or EVDO.On the back is also a new camera that sports an 8-megapixel camera with a backside illuminated CMOS sensor for better low-light performance. The lens now comes packed in a new assembly with a hybrid IR filter and sports apertures down to f/2.4. The improved visuals extend to video performance as well. The 4S can record 1080p video and has a new image signal processor for image stabilization and facial recognition, making the handset's camera comparable to many point-and-shoots. The camera is also quite a bit faster than many other smartphone shooters, needing only 1.1 seconds before being ready to take the first shot and only half a second between successive images.
The 4S is also the first Apple handset to come packing Siri virtual assistant tech baked in. Just tap the mic on the keyboard (just like on Android!) and start talking to enter text, check the weather, get directions or perform web searches.
As far as battery life, you're looking at eight hours of talk over 3G, and 14 hours of 2G, while web browsing over 3G cuts off at six hours. Using WiFi you'll get a respectable nine hours of web, video playback tops out at 10 hours and music at 40 hours.

Will 4 get this Siri thing on ios5 ?
Can't say i'm surprised it follows apple's upgrade/release pattern, did expect an edge to edge screen....
but meh might llow it if the iPhone5 is scheduled for next summer.

It's only on 4s, gay
If there's a 16 gb, ima buy one straight away and if a 32 is 450 it should be closer to 400
any photos of it yet?
not exactly an odd question is it?
didnt know it was gonna be the same as iphone 4
Comparing time to take pictures: HTC Sensation takes 2.1s to take the first, 1.3 to get the second; iPhone 4S is 1.1 and 0.5s.
"So the new iPhone 4S... entirely new on the inside ... dual antennas ... it's a worldphone ... twice as fast downloads ... camera ... 1080p video camera ... and of course iOS 5. And of course" (again?) "comes with iCloud. It's the best iPhone yet."
Schiller is back: A5 CPU, 2x faster, 7x graphics better, and battery life now 8 hours talk time on 3G - 14 hours 2g talktime, 6 hours 3G browsing, 9 hours Wi-Fi browsing.
"Inside it is all-new. A5 chip inside. And to show you here's the president of Epic Games." OK, thrilled.
"Can now intelligently switch between the two antennas to send and receive to make even better call quality."
8MP sensor, 60% more pixels than iPhone 4, can gather 73% more light, so faster to take the picture.
Recap of iOS 5 - notably iMessage, which we might call a BlackBerry Messenger killer, which is pushed to any iOS device, securely encrypted, and so on.
Location-based reminders. (Yes, we recall that - sure to kill your battery by checking GPS all the time.)
Twitter integration: "we have integrated Twitter deeply into the OS." Integrated into photos - take it and tweet it directly.
yeah but what the fuck man. So those of us that waited for the iphone 5 have to decide wether to get this 4s on an 18/24 month contract when we all know the iphone 5 will now be out in less than a year. taking the piss.
Was talking at work about this with some colleagues how everyone would be expecting an iphone 5 and then get shegged with something else. Joke thing is, most of you people complaining that Apple are mugs for not releasing iphone 5 will still happily wait for it and buy it when it does come out. Xmas is going to be a madness boy.
Unless i can get one on the cheap, i'm not to bothered bout upgrading
Tbh the phone is near enough perfect anyway
16gb iphone 4s is £130 faKK OFF
