Major Improvements In The Newest iPhone

With the introduction of iPhone in 2007, Apple revolutionized the smartphone industry. None of the companies were able to deal up wit Apple had to offer, and Apple reigned the market. The release of iPhone 4S comes after only a few years after this historic launch. In this short span of time a lot has changed about the mobile industry. Android based phones are giving a difficult competition to Apple. Despite this, Apple comes with new ideas and innovations that keep it in front in this market.

What to expect from the latest iPhone

Most of the people were expecting the new iPhone to be iPhone 5 and not iPhone 4S. The long gap of 16 months since the last iPhone was released was a major aspect for such rumors to gain momentum. As a result when the final release was an update and not a new product several people were left disappointed. The new iPhone had the same body as the older iPhone 4. But, numerous changes were made to the internal components. Everything from the antenna, to the processor to the camera was changed.

One of the most important changes to the phone was the introduction of the newest iOS the iOS 5. This OS will be also made available for iPhone 3GS and 4 through updates. The new phone has the speedy A5 chip inside it. In fact, this processor is also used for the iPad 2. By including a 8MP camera Apple has silenced a lot of the critics that were not happy with the iPhone camera.

Importance of Siri

You may be impressed by the above mentioned aspects, but the most talked about addition to the iPhone is Siri. Siri is basically a speech recognition tool that can perform several tasks. The Siri application was available to users through the AppStore previously, but Apple bought it and introduced it in its present form with iPhone 4S. This application is now bundled along with iPhone 4S and works like a charm. You just hold the home button on the phone for some seconds and Siri is activated. You can then ask Siri any question you wish and it will try its best to solution it. For instance, you can ask about 'Restaurants in Chicago' and it will give you the results based on ratings.

Siri has proved to be a tremendous success amongst the users. Google has also expressed concerns that Siri might pose difficulties for their promotion business which runs manly through the ads on the results page. But with Siri, there is no need for going to these search pages. You can perform many other tasks apart from searching for locations on the net. Siri can be used, to put an alarm, call some, set up a reminder, or text someone. Those who do not own an iPhone 4S will be disappointed as Siri is only compatible with the hardware of the new phone and is not available as a download for other devices. Apple has stated that Siri is still in beta mode and they will keep on improving the app for better and accurate results.
