![]() ![]() ![]() Mobile Safari is equally impressive (although there’s still no Flash), zipping through web pages in a way that feels more like a desktop computer than a phone. iOS devices have always felt snappy, but the 4S feels faster than ever. Opening apps, multitasking, typing on the on-screen keyboard, and swiping through windows are all an instantaneous breeze. So what does that mean exactly? This phone is FAST. It features a dual-core A5 processor with 512 MB of RAM, rather than the single-core A4 found in the iPhone 4. Under the hood, however, the iPhone 4S is a major upgrade. In addition to the 16 GB version for $199 and the 32 GB version for $299 (with contract), Apple has introduced a 64 GB model for $399, which is handy for those of us who crave extra storage space for apps, music, and video (the exact amount you can store depends on your choice of apps and encoding settings). It’s not AMOLED, but its 326 ppi pixel density and 800:1 contrast ratio are gorgeous and easily viewable both indoors and out.Īlso like the iPhone 4, the 4S features WiFi 802.11b/g/n, but unlike the 4, the 4S has been upgraded to Bluetooth version 4.0, which enhances its battery life. It also maintains the same dock connector, volume, and home buttons, in the same places, as well as the beautiful 3.5-inch 960 x 640 pixel retina display. It is available in black and white versions (and yes, the white version is actually available this time) for AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. It maintains the same 4.5 inch by 2.31 inch by 0.37 inch design, although it is nominally heavier at 4.9 ounces. ![]() On the surface, the iPhone 4S resembles its predecessor, the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S isn’t the largest upgrade the iPhone series has ever seen, but nonetheless, in this time of transition for Apple, it proves that the company still has what it takes to make one of the greatest smartphones on the market. Now, at long last, we’ve gotten our hands on one, and it lives up to the hype, and then some. It has sold so many pre-orders that it has already been declared a smash hit even before it was available for sale.

What's hot: Still beautiful, much faster A5 dual core CPU, better camera and Siri. ![]()
