iPhone 4S Review

The new iPhone 4S from Apple has finally been released into the wild! Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey take a close look at the smartphone on Gadget Pr0n with its virtual assistant, Siri, the 8 megapixel camera and Apple's dual core A5 processor.

What You Need To Know

• The iPhone 4S is almost exactly the same weight as the iPhone 4 and weighs only 3 grams heavier.
• The screen is this size because Apple engineers want the entire screen to be accessible by your thumb.
• With the 8 megapixel camera, the images look sharp and clear.
• Even at night, we found little issues with noise.
• The aperture is now bigger at F2.4 versus the old F2.8.
• The camera also shoots 1080p video at 30 fps, and we had no trouble finding auto focus while filming.
• The iPhone 4S can truly replace your point and shoot cameras.
• The dual core A5 processor was as fast as we hoped.
• The processor cores in the phone run at 800MHz, which makes it noticeably faster than the iPhone 4.
• Browsing the web was faster, too and even on the same Wi-fi signal, the 4S consistently beat the 4.
• Apple is really proud of Siri, the iPhone 4S's built in digital assistant.
• What sets this voice command system apart from other smartphones is the way you talk to it.
• You don't have to learn specific commands to get the iPhone 4S to do things.
• When Siri works, it is truly amazing and that's about 65-75% of the time.

Price

• $199 with a contract from Sprint, AT&T or Verizon Wireless.

Rating

• 4 Seals of Approval out of 5. (How do we rate gadgets?)
• This is the best iPhone yet.
• Siri, when it works, is amazing and the potential there is hard to ignore.
• The camera is also something that can actually replace your point and shoot.
• If you already have an iPhone and it's older than a iPhone 4, getting this phone is a no brainer.
• If you already have an iPhone 4, you just have to ask yourself on how much you want Siri.
