Apple iPhone 4S - Full Keynote - Apple Special Event on 4th october 2011
What came from the keynote was a bit disappointing after the rumor mills built up a possible iPhone 5 upgrade. Instead, what we have is the iPhone 4S that retains the same exterior as the iPhone 4 but with some internal hardware improvements, including a dual-core A5 processor and an 8-megapixel camera. The iPhone 4S still is not NFC-equipped and does not support 4G, although it is now a world phone and available on Sprint in addition to AT&T and Verizon. The improvements to the iPhone 4S camera are perhaps worthy to note. Beyond the now upgraded 8-megapixel resolution and 1080p HD video capture capability, the camera also features a better lens with a f/2.4 aperture, real-time stabilization, faster picture taking, and 73% more light from a next-gen backside illumination technology. However, the front-facing camera remains VGA quality. Much of the iOS 5 and iCloud features as previewed back in WWDC 2011 showed up again, adding little surprise, with only the built-in Siri voice control Assistant feature adding the most excitement. Apple also managed to toss in a new Cards app, Find My Friends feature, and a preview of the Infinity Blade 2 game for iOS 5.
