New iPhone 4S Reviews:
In the case of the Apple iPhone 4S, the answer is that you can expect many important upgrades and even some groundbreaking features. While there are always detractors who will hasten to point out what new smartphones don't offer, we found it easy to select the Apple iPhone 4S as our TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award winner.
The iPhone 4S is the first Apple cell phone to be available from the three largest U.S. carriers, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. AT&T has the longest history with the iPhone, having been its exclusive carrier through the first three iterations of the device. With AT&T, you get a 3G data network that is typically America's fastest.
iPhone 4S Design:
From an external-design perspective, there's nothing new to report with the iPhone 4S. If you've seen the iPhone 4, you've seen the new arrival. Inside, though, it's a different story. At the heart of the device is its A5 processor – a dual-core CPU with a clock speed of 1GHz per core. It's the same processor that powers Apple's iPad 2 and is a fundamental reason that everything on this phone works so well. With the A5, overall device speed is double that of its predecessor, and graphics rendering is reported to be up to seven times as fast, making for superb gaming performance and web browsing.
The new antenna design may garner less attention but it's equally significant. The cellular signal of the iPhone 4 could be compromised by things as insignificant as the manner in which the phone is held. The iPhone 4S has two antennas, each of which can both send and receive signals and has the computing power to choose the best one.
Multimedia:
The iPod Touch has set the standard for portable media players since its introduction, and the Apple iPhone 4S essentially has a built-in iPod Touch. There isn't much more that needs to be said about this phone's stellar capabilities as a music and video player.
The camera is another matter. IPhones have been criticized in the past for having cameras that really didn't compare well to other top-ranked smartphones. With the iPhone 4S, that has all changed. The first and most obvious improvement is bumping the camera's sensor count up to 8MP. That puts it right up there with the best phone cameras available.
Battery Life and Memory:
The iPhone 4S has three available storage options: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, with the latter being an improvement on any previously offered iPhone model. Like its predecessors, the 4S doesn't have a memory card slot to expand that capacity. That's less of an obstacle than it's been in the past because of the introduction of iCloud. With iCloud, your apps, music, photos, books, documents, calendars and more are stored on Apple's servers and pushed to your other iOS devices. Additionally, iCloud backs up your data daily via Wi-Fi when the iPhone is connected to a power source. If you lose your data or get a new device, it's easy to restore using iCloud Backup.
