The iPhone 4S might look very similar to last year’s iPhone 4, but some intriguing specs and features are hidden under the hood.


After more than a year with the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4S--announced Tuesday by Apple CEO Tim Cook--seems a bit, well, underwhelming.

The hardware announced today offers no design overhaul. Apple upgraded the phone's camera from a 5-megapixel sensor to an 8-megapixel sensor, though, and the iPhone 4S will use the same dual-core A5 chip that the iPad 2 does. G capability? Forget it--Apple isn't going that route this time. We already knew about iOS 5 and its features for a while, but the inclusion of the Siri voice-activated software was a nice surprise.

That isn’t to say that I’m dissatisfied. Last year’s iPhone 4 still holds up among smartphones released this year, and the internal enhancements in the iPhone 4S, while a bit late to the game, are certainly welcome. The iPhone 4S is a good phone that has become even better, but I certainly wouldn’t call it “revolutionary.” And, on second thought, Apple didn’t either.

As for the iPhone 4S processor, the A5 dual-core 1GHz with a dual core GPU, which is also used in the iPad 2, can provide a faster and better graphic performance than iPhone 4. This is a huge help with it comes to opening apps, surfing the Internet, playing games, etc.

Iphone 4s has most advanced features. It has a lot to offer businesses. So I’d say it’s pretty good.
