Review iPhone 4S: latest work of genius – Reuters

Unfortunately, the presentation of a new version that has already become a cult iPhone has coincided with a tragic event – October 5, Tim Cook introduced in California iPhone 4S, and the next day shocked the world news of the death of Steve Jobs, the legendary co-founder of the Empire Apple.

How did it happen last child of Steve Jobs? In fact, iPhone 4S – perfectly suited for the role of the monument to the great inventor and businessman. On Internet forums verbal battles break out on "Good Is the new iPhone," we are and the courage to answer this question affirmatively: "Yes, it was good. Very".

the words of Elvis Presley's manager, " numbers do not lie, "and iPhone 4S published throughout the world many millions of copies. It could not be – in recent years, Steve Jobs has never made a mistake in the management of Apple and the creation of new products, and his latest creation can not fail to identify.

So, apparently iPhone 4S is virtually identical to the iPhone 4 – and this is probably a good thing. Designed by "four" for the year had not become obsolete, it is quite relevant. The choice of buyers offered two options – black and white.

important moment: the developers have changed the design of antennas for communicating with cellular networks, and now the "iPhone" can handle anything you like. Of course, users can check it out just after the start of sales (it is scheduled for October 14), but we believe the company's word.

By the way, from now on "iPhone" is a so-called global smartphone: 4S can work in cellular networks GSM / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz and CDMA EV-DO Rev.A 800/1900 MHz. However, in Russia CDMA networks with the appropriate frequency range is not so for us it is an advantage iPhone 4S irrelevant (as opposed to the same in Ukraine).

display remains the same: 3.5-inch IPS-matrix resolution of 960 by 640 pixels so far ahead with the separation of the remaining screens in the market of smartphones. But the camera has become significantly more powerful: it received an 8-megapixel sensor and can record video with a resolution of Full HD (1920 by 1080 pixels) and at 30 / s.

" heart "iPhone 4S is a dual-core gigahertz processor Apple A5, which is also mounted in the Tablet PC iPad 2. When the letter of the developers, the new product at least two times faster than the iPhone 4. But there is every reason to believe that in the field of graphics (ie games) separation from its predecessor will be even more noticeable. However, this can be verified only by direct comparison with the launch of two or three toys.

A few good moments: iPhone 4S has a Bluetooth module version 4.0 (it's faster and cheaper Bluetooth 2.1, which stood on the iPhone 4) and a version with 64 GB of internal memory. Last not least: apps, music, games, videos – for this must be the place, and memory card slots in the "iPhone" has never been and probably will not.

iPhone 4S version with 16 GB of memory will cost U.S. $ 200 (of course, complete with a contract of the local operator), 32 – $ 300, and 64 – 400. In Russia, the new "iPhone", by itself, would cost many, many times more expensive, but buyers are still there after all. As the number of fans of the products Apple, and of wanting to buy the latest iPhone Steve Jobs in his lifetime.
