IPhone 4S Review – Siri Is Eerie But Cool
The iPhone 4S is currently one the most sought after new cell phones available for purchase, online or at the store, along with recently launched and competing phones names such as the Droid RAZR or the Galaxy Nexus.
The iPhone 4S is said to be an improvement on its' older iPhone4 version and still retains many of the typical and well loved functions which characterized its older version.
The above being said, there are significant improvements and new features which distinguish the iPhone 4S from the iPhone4 that are worthy of exploration.
The first notable improvement is the introduction of Siri, a feminine robotic voice that is a cross between a digital personal assistant and a secretary. Simply by speaking to your iPhone 4s (and Siri) you can check the weather, traffic conditions and GPS coordinates. You can also tell Siri to send and receive emails, place phone calls and schedule meetings.
Siri talks back to you, but not in a snarky sarcastic teenager way (but that could be fun). Siri uses colloquialisms and common language when speaking and many will find this new feature helpful.
Another exciting feature of the iPhone 4S is its ability to support a variety of networks including CDMA, GSM, and CDMA users from both Verizon and Sprint carriers, even though AT&T is actually its' official carrier.
This is great news for users as it allows them the ability to use the phone on different networks and carriers. Also for Verizon and Sprint users the ability to legitimately unlock the phone, after only six months of service, has now become possible.
The iPhone 4S is able to accept SIM cards from all previously mentioned networks, an ability which is really increasing the span of international communication, through the phones being able to connect to a wider number of worldwide SIM cards, as opposed to being restricted to a specific carrier or company brand name.
One possibility which is definitely worth exploration is the usage of much cheaper international SIM cards, while traveling for example, on a very high performance phone, thus decreasing the total usage costs of the phone significantly.
Also, the iPhone 4S has 3.0 G on Verizon & Sprint carriers and 3.5 G (HSPA) on AT&T carriers. Some improvements from the old also include better optical, visual and software capacities with the introduction of an 8MP camera and low light sensors.
These are built in a way which maximizes the potential sensory light intake, in order to provide better quality definition imagery, and video outsourcing. The visual sensory opening of the phone has also been contracted form a 2.8 radius to a 2.4 one, in order to allow more light to filter through, and improve the general display quality of the imagery.
Also, the new iPhone 4S boasts better notification applications, a messaging feature which supports free SMS services between iOs device users, and a PC-Free or independent attitude towards the downloading of additional service and data without the need of a computer to do so.
Significant changes in the hardware include the insertion of an A5 dual core processer, and two additional CPS processors. The A-5 is essentially a chip which contains GPH graphics processors of really high definition and quality and increase visual performance. The CPS processing cores, on the other hand, help in the speedy and more efficient processing of information in terms of applications and other phone related performance tasks.
Finally, the exciting launch of the iPhone 4S, now available for purchase in stores, will definitely have an effect on changing the conventional single carrier phone practices and open new doors in terms of variable carrier options and possibilities.
