[Full iPhone 4S Review] The Apple iPhone 4S was released in October 2011 for Verizon, AT&T and now Sprint. The latest iPhone now sports the Apple A5 chip which was used in the iPad 2 and 1GB of RAM, making it quite a bit faster than its predecessor. It will ship preloaded with iOS 5, the latest version of the popular Apple operating system with over 200 new features and a new voice operated assistant called "Siri". The iPhone 4S also features 2 cameras, one VGA front facing camera for video chat and an improved eight-megapixel camera capable of 1080p HD video capture.

If you're still not sure whether to upgrade your iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5, perhaps we can help. In this video we compare both iPhones in a plethora of catagories: hardware, specs, app launch speed, web browser speed, screen quality, battery life, gaming, and more. In a lot of ways the devices are very different: the iPhone 5's design is new, it has a different connector, and inside, the hardware has changed dramatically. But at the same time, the iPhone 5 takes literally ever spec of the 4S and bumps it up a notch. As such, the iPhone 5 becomes somewhat predictable: apps open faster ...

One of the iPhone 5 improvements that was announced with the occasion of the launch event was the camera which is now featuring dynamic low light mode. The assembly is 25% smaller, picture quality should be better and you will be able to take panorama pictures with a dedicated mode. However, this Panorama mode is not exclusive to the iPhone 5; iPhone 4S users will also be able to enjoy it, as you can tell form the revised iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S vs iPhone 4 official comparison above. Even more, the Gold Master release (that's the closest to the public version to be released on the 19th) of ...

The iPhone 5 is not the only new buzz-word; iOS 6 is the platform powering it and, while some love it, others prefer iOS 5, even our resident "iPhone guy", Jaime Rivera. The next version of iOS 6, landing on September 19, contains a lot of features but unfortunately not all of them are available in all regions. If you head over to the source link below you will land on an official Apple page which describe features and their availability, by region. Obviously U.S. users will receive the entire package with all features and functionalities available. People living in other countries where ...

If you've been keeping up with the iPhone 5 news, have been reading all the rumors for the past several months, and caught yesterday's announcement, you've probably got a pretty strong sense of just what the handset is; really, we wouldn't expect anything less from our readers. Not everyone's so savvy when it comes to smartphones, though, as Jimmy Kimmel made painfully clear on his show last night. In the video below, Kimmel's crew hits the streets to get some opinions on the new iPhone. What the people they speak to don't realize, though, is that they're holding the old iPhone 4S. ...

Apple is trying to distance itself from Google and, aside from ditching Google Maps for its own mapping solution, it has also removed the YouTube app from iOS 6 Beta 4, a pretty good indication that it will be left out in the final version of iOS 6. However, since YouTube is such a strong video sharing community, the folks over at Google just announced its brand new, stand-along application for the iPhone. The app is built in such manner that it will offer "the best mobile experience". Unfortunately the application is not designed for the high resolution of the iPad, even though it will ...

We've been hearing a lot lately about T-Mobile and its relationship with the iPhone. It started off with a leaked doc discussing the company's sales strategy in the wake of the iPhone 5 launch, and was followed by rumors that the carrier would have in-store iPhone demo units in order to encourage bring-your-own-device service agreements. With Apple's presumed iPhone announcement just days away, T-Mobile is now going public with its iPhone campaign, playing-up the potential savings users could see over a subsidized iPhone with another carrier. Sure enough, there will be iPhone 4S models ...

Apple's got a habit of announcing new lower-end hardware alongside its cutting-edge gear; back around when the iPhone 4S first came out, we learned of a new 8GB version of the iPhone 4. A new rumor suggests that history will repeat itself, and the announcement of the iPhone 5 will accompany a similar re-shuffling of older iPhone models. Supposedly, Apple would finally drop the 8GB 3GS as its lowest-end model, replacing it with the already-available 8GB iPhone 4. That part's not hard to believe at all, considering the age of the 3GS and its current level of software support. Apple might ...

It's Friday, so it's never a bad idea to add some weird humor to the beginning of our weekend. In this case though, be prepared for some brutality as a couple of guys just unboxed a brand new Samsung Galaxy S III and an iPhone 4S and made no cuts in the video in order to show that they truly did drag two brand new phones from a car to test the durability of their screens. Obviously this is more of a Samsung video, since at all times the guy filming is boasting about how well he knows that the Galaxy S III will survive the drag race and that the iPhone 4S won't. I won't spoil the results ...

This is probably not the best time to get an iPhone, since we're probably just a month or two away from Apple's next generation smartphone. That said, if you're in urgent need to get one, that doesn't mean that devices like the iPhone 4S won't remain relevant for at least another year or two. As carriers begin doing their best to boost sales during the slowest season of the year, Sprint took the lead by dropping as much as $86 from any iPhone that you purchase in their network after a two-year contract. That involves dropping $50 off the price tag, and then waving the $36 activation fee. ...

Apple's next-generation mobile platform, iOS 6, is expected to launch with the occasion of the next iPhone (according to rumors, on September 12). It brings a truckload of features to the table (according to what we've been shows by Apple, and we still believe there are still some aces up their sleeves) but, on a general note, it is still an iOS 5 (or 4) on steroids. In the concept video below, and at the article source link, you can find a couple of ideas Apple could have though about and implemented in iOS 6. Some of them might be there while others have a very slim chance of ever ...

Read OnThe last time we talked about what AT&T retail employees were up to, it was in the context of Windows Phone sales. At the time, we heard some reports that AT&T workers weren't very concerned with selling Windows Phone handsets, and instead were pointing even customers with specific interest in Windows Phone towards the iPhone, instead. Some new rumors out today suggest that allegiances have changed over at AT&T, and employees are now being directed to discourage iPhone sales. Supposedly, regional managers have been giving the directive, and retail workers are told to encourage ...

iOS6 will bring a lot of new features (despite the fact that many are expecting a brand new user interface), at least from what Apple have shown and told us. Of course, there might be some more exciting stuff being held from us in order to show off with the occasion of the iPhone event. However, Apple introduced a nice little feature in the Mail app, as spotted by BGR. If you conversation view (thread) is getting too long, you have to pull in order to expand the collapsed email and it will display more. In order to visualize this, check out the image above. It's pretty much similar to ...
