So, there you have it! Apple has officially announced the iPhone 4 S! As many of us were hoping for the iPhone 5, which was speculated to have a 4″ display among other updates and new form factor, I have to admit, I’m not disappointed at all with the 4 S. Asides from the over 200 new features in the upcoming iOS 5, this is what you can look forward to in terms of updated hardware: Dual-Core A5 Chip, 8MP Pixel Camera with 1080P HD video recording. Something else that we can all get really excited for is Apple’s new voice command/personal assistant, Siri. This is probably the most in depth voice command system I’ve ever seen, and in my opinion, it even tops Android!
Read on for more.
Here’s a video of Apple’s new voice command service, Siri! Check it out! Looks pretty awesome to us. Watch the video here.
Apple has said the iPhone 4S will be available in US, Canada, Japan, Germany, France, Australia on October 14th and Pre-orders will be available as of October 7th. This is also their fastest launch after announcing the new iPhone. As for pricing, 16GB is $199, 32GB is $299 and 64GB will be $399! Canadian pricing has yet to be announced, though we can expect it to be slightly higher. Apple has also kept the iPhone 3GS and 4 around, the 3GS will be $0 on contract, as well the iPhone 4 8GB will be $99. All pricing is per contract (2 year [US], 3 year [Canada]).
There’s a tonne to look forward to in the next week and a half. We’ll keep you posted as it happens.
We want to know if you’ll be ditching your current iPhone 4 for a iPhone 4S and if you see it worthwhile to you. Tune in the comments!
