IPHONE 4S SPECIFICATIONS

Here comes the sequel - the second coming of the
iPhone 4. For all those of you expecting to see the
iPhone 5, you really have two options – continue
grumbling, or open your eyes to the iPhone 4S. Lets
take a closer look at what the new iPhone 4S brings to
the table:
Form Factor
The 4S looks exactly like its elder sibling, at least from
the outside. However, this one is a tad heavier than
the iPhone 4. The 4S weighs 140grams, while the 4
weighs 137 grams.
Display
The same 3.5-inch Retina Display as the iPhone 4. The
LED backlitIPS display with a resolution of 640 x 960
pixels.
Storage
Apart from the 16GB and 32GB versions, the 4S will
also be available in a 64GB version.
Camera
BIG difference! The iPhone 4 had a 5MP camera that
can do 720p HD video recording. The 4S gets an 8MP
camera with 1080p HD video recording. Face
Detection feature has also been added. We quote
Apple on this one, “iPhone 4S includes a new custom
lens, a larger f/2.4 aperture and an advanced hybrid IR
filterthat produce sharper, brighter and more accurate
images.”
The processor
Possibly the biggest upgrade over the iPhone 4- the 4S
gets dual core power. The ARM Cortex A9 dual core
1GHz processor powers this one. The iPhone 4, in
comparison, had a 1GHz single core ARM Cortex A8
processor.
And the RAM bit?
The iPhone 4 has 512 MB of RAM, and the iPhone 4S
gets a bum up to 1GB. Need we explain in detail the
expected performance improvement?
We sure hope you aren’t missing that inconspicuous by
its absence iPhone 5 anymore. Because the 4S isn't
finished yet!
iOS 5
The 4S comes with the new iOS version out of the
box. Agreed, the iPhone 4 will get the update as well,
but the better processor and upgraded RAM will mean
the 4S’ performance will be much better.
With the new OS comes the much awaited iMessage
service. The Camera can now be accessed right from
the lock screen itself. The updated Photos app lets
users crop, rotate, enhance and remove red eye from
the snaps before sending them along.
SIRI
The 4S gets the voice control feature as well. You can
enter text, get the weather update and even search
the web. Currently works with English, French and
German. Not confirmed if this feature will be available
on the iPhone 4 as well.
Battery
While the same 1420 mAh battery has been carried
forward from the iPhone 4, Apple claims that the 4S
will offer 8 hours of talk time while on the 3G
networks.
