There is no iPhone 5

There is no iPhone 5

Steve Jobs obviously could not be the messenger of the bad news; there is no iPhone 5 at this time but an iPhone 4S as some call it. But then, there are some major improvements which will more than match the most recent releases namely from Samsung.

iPhone 4S new Features

The new features of this iPhone 4 upgrade include:

8 MP camera
1080p video
faster dual core A5 processor
improved battery (8 hours of talking over 3G, 9 hours of Websurfing over WiFi, 6 hours of surfing over 3G, 40 hours of listening to music.
Voice control SIRI
Workd on CDMA and GSM networks
improved download sprrd of up to 14.4 mb/sec
improved upload speed of up to 5.8 mb/sec
more storage, up to 64 GB
cheaper (64 GB version retails at $399, 32 GB at 299 and the 16 GB at $199)

Deceived expectations

No change in design
No edge to edge screen

Why an iPhone 4S

Because namely in the US users sit ona 2years contract and expect an upgrade to iPhone 5 for the end of their 2 years period. The upgrade becomes also neccessary to counter comprtitors’ products, such as the Samsung Galaxy SII, Droid Bionic or the HTC Evo 4G.

Why I will buy an iPhone 4G

I like particularly the speed and the storage as well of course as the new 8 MP camera which will be comparable to a point and shoot camera. Also it comes with a built in hybrid infrared filter, the kind of stuff you talk about in high-end dSLR cams. The camera will capture 73% more light and shoot 33% faster up to 2 pics per second. Finally, 12 year old son is eyeing my iPhone 4 he wants so badly, that i cannot resist but to gor for the 4S.

In General

Unless you are a tech and Apple freak or unless you have a kid like mine, there is no good reason to upgrade to the iPhone 4S since iPhone 4 users get also the iOS5 onto their phone; Siri is still in Beta and frankly, you could probably do without for another year. iPhone 4 Photos are already pretty good as you can see on my iPhone 4 Photo blog. Of course if you like to replace your old point and shot cam with a newer generation device, then the 200 bucks spent on an iPhone 4S could be anice alternative. What do you think, is it worth while to upgrade?
