Early studies and rumors

There were rumors since the lanuch of Iphone 4 that soon apple will be launching Iphone 5,Even some people made fake videos about the features of Iphone 5,But Apple surprised everyone by announcing launch of Iphone 4s instead of Iphone 5. According to a Wall Street Journal report, American telecommunications company Sprint Nextel committed $20 billion to gain rights to the iPhone.^[1]

Features

Hardware changes

Processor, memory, and storage

The iPhone 4S has the dual core A5 processor, that is also used in the iPad 2, and sports a dual-core PowerVR SGX543 graphics chip. Storage size remains the same at 16GB and 32GB, however a larger capacity has also been added (64GB). The screen is the same as the previous generation's iPhones; 3.5 in, 640 x 960 resolution.

Antenna

The iPhone 4S' antenna has been slightly changed from the iPhone 4, and can now automatically switch between two antennas to attempt to provide the best signal possible. Download speeds are now up to 14.4Mbps, however it is not 4G LTE; it is HSDPA.^[2]

Camera and photos

The camera on the iPhone 4S is significantly improved--30% sharper, with an aperture of f/2.4, a third quicker to capture images, with an 8 megapixel sensor that takes 3264 by 2448 pixel pictures. It's also capable of HD 1080p video with video stabilization. Video and photo editing is now available on the iPhone 4S and in iOS 5 with features such as crop, auto enhance, and red eye reduction. Taking a photo can now also be accessed via the lock screen by double clicking the "Home" button, within 1.1 seconds. The volume up button can now also be used to take a photo on any device using iOS 5.

Voice control (Siri)

The iPhone 4S introduced a new automated voice control system called "Siri" that allows the user to give the iPhone commands, which it can execute and respond to. For example, iPhone commands such as "What is the weather going to be like?" will generate a response such as "The weather is to be cloudy and rainy and drop to 60 degrees today". These commands can vary greatly, and control almost every section of the phone. The commands given do not have to be specific; and can be used with natural language.

Power and battery specs

200 hours standby time (iPhone 4: 300 hours), 8 hours talk time on 3G (iPhone 4: 7 hours), 6 hours 3G browsing and 9 hours Wi-Fi browsing (iPhone 4: 10 hours). ^[3]^[4]
