Months of mounting anticipation have led to this: Apple's annual iPhone unveiling. This year's announcement arrived mostly unspoiled by leaks or lost iPhone models, leading to frenzied anticipation. Would this be the year Apple launched not one but two iPhones? Would Apple finally add some real estate to its 3.5 inch screen to bring it in line with Android phones? No and no.
About iPhone 4SThere is no iPhone 5--instead of being a minor iPhone 4 update hitting the $100 price point, the iPhone 4S will be Apple's lead smartphone. The $200 phone makes the jump to dual-core processing with the A5, ups its graphics performance and makes the already impressive iPhone 4 camera even better with an 8 megapixel sensor. And yes: it's a dual-mode phone headed to Verizon, Sprint and AT&T on October 14.
About Siri
About iCloud
iPhone 4S is Apple’s 5th generation iPhone, set to go on pre-order on October 7 and available in stores starting October 14 in the US, Canada, Japan, France, Australia, and Germany with 70 total by the end of the year. While the outside looks the same as last year, the 2011 iPhone 4S has the new Apple A5 processor for double the speed and 7x the graphics performance. It’s also got a new 8MP, F2.4 camera for great pictures and 1080p video. But the big story this year is Siri, Apple’s artificial intelligence voice control system that — we kid you not — can call you a cab, find you a restaurant, and even have a conversation with you!About Iphone 4S Camera
iPhone 4S camera: 8 MP, f/2.4, face detection, & more
The you-can’t-believe-it’s-on-a-phone camera.
The biggest thing that wowed me about the iPhone 4S camera is that it is equipped with an f/2.4 lens. This has many great benefits:
- The aperture will open wider, allowing more light to hit the sensors which means better, brighter photos.
- The shutter will be able to move faster, ensuring that those action shots are crisp and lacking of blur.
- Even in dark, low-lit environments, you will be able to capture photos without using a flash.
This lens, combined with the A5 processor chip and it’s digital signal processor, will allow you to snap photos with virtually no shutter lag (Apple says 1.1 seconds for the first picture, less for subsequent pictures). With the additional added feature from iOS 5 that gives quick camera access to the lock screen, you can say goodbye to missed moments.
Another great feature of the iPhone 4S camera is face detection. This isn’t new to point-and-shoot cameras, so it’s definitely a welcomed addition to the iPhone. When taking a portrait or group shot, the camera will focus on the most prominent face and balance exposure across up to 10 faces.
Some other improvements to the camera include a hybrid infrared filter and advanced algorithms in iOS 5 for even more color accuracy, better white balance, and greater dynamic range.
In my opinion, the least exciting thing about this camera is the bump to 8-megapixels. However, it is nice to know that I’ll be able to get decent 8″x10″ prints from the iPhone 4S camera or crop them down without causing too much damage to the final image.
I hate to say it, but for the average user, the iPhone 4S’s camera will, in many ways, be better than most DSLR cameras equipped with a kit lens.

The camera has been significantly revamped. Instead of jumping up to an 8MP resolution and calling it a day, Apple went with a backlight-illuminated sensor that captures 73 percent more light. The five lens element, f2.4 aperture camera takes 30 percent sharper photos more quickly than last year's camera. Part of that's do to improvements on the software side: the camera now takes 1.1 seconds to snap its first picture. 1080p video shooting is also in, with real time video image stabilization and real time temporal noise reduction.
