On Tuesday, October 4, the new iPhone was introduced, which is already the fifth generation of the Apple phone. The so-called There is no "WOW" effect, because it is just an upgrade of the previous model. Yes, the biggest changes happened inside the device. Boredom. Let's first look at the individual generations of iPhones and the differences between them in brief points. Maybe we'll find out that the iPhone 4S is no flop at all.
iPhone - the phone that changed everything
- processor ARM 1178ZJ(F)-S @ 412 MHz
- 128MB DRAM
- 4, 8 or 16 GB memory
- TN-LCD, 480×320
- Wi-Fi
- GSM / GPRS / EDGE
- 2 Mpx without focus
In the original iPhone OS 1.0, it was not possible to install third-party applications. When you bought the phone, you just had it like that. The only way to adjust the system was to rearrange the shaking icons by dragging your finger. The WOW effect was then caused by the smooth flipping of the display, smooth animations and a fast system without delays.
iPhone 3G – a revolution in application distribution
- new round plastic back
- GPS
- UMTS/HSDPA
Another revolution in the world of mobile phones appeared in iPhone OS 2.0 - App Store. A new way to distribute apps has never been easier for both developers and users. Other little things have also been added, such as support for Microsoft Exchange or the Czech QWERTY keyboard (Czech, however, is missing). Note that there are very few changes compared to the previous model.
iPhone 3GS – simply a faster 3G
- processor ARM Cortec-A8 @ 600 MHz
- 256MB DRAM
- 16 or 32 GB memory (later also 8 GB)
- HSDPA (7.2 Mbps)
- 3 Mpx with focus
- VGA video
- kompas
For so long others laughed until finally the iPhone could do MMS and copy and paste text. Added voice control and localization into many languages, including Czech. By the way, support for the original iPhone ends with software version 3.1.3. 3G owners really have no reason to buy a new model.
iPhone 4 - a prototype from a bar that can't be him
- brand new design with external antenna
- Apple A4 processor @ 800 MHz
- 512MB DRAM
- IPS-LCD, 960×640
- HSUPA (5.8 Mbps)
- CDMA version
- 5 Mpx with focus
- 720p videos
- front VGA camera
Undoubtedly, the iPhone 4 with iOS 4 was the biggest advancement since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. Retina display, multitasking, folders, wallpaper under icons, iBooks, FaceTime. Later also Game Center, AirPlay and personal hotspot. The demands of iOS 4 are already beyond the power of 3G, for example multitasking is missing. Here's a reason to buy a new iPhone. 3GS owners can stay relatively calm, unless they wish for a Retina display or more performance.
iPhone 4S – chatty foursome
- Apple A5 @ 1GHz dual core processor
- apparently 1GB of DRAM
- 16, 32 or 64GB memory
- Both GSM and CDMA versions in one device
- HSDPA (14.4 Mbps)
- 8 Mpx with focus
- 1080p video with gyro stabilization
iOS 4 will be preinstalled in all new iPhone 5S – iOS update via Wi-Fi, synchronization with iTunes via Wi-Fi, notification center, reminders, integration of Twitter, iMessages, kiosk, cards and... iCloud. I've written a lot about apple cloud, so just a quick recap - file and data transfer across your devices, wireless sync and device backup.
A specialty for the iPhone 4S is Siri, a new virtual assistant, about which we wrote more in this article. It should be a revolution in phone-to-person communication. Whether Siri is the first swallow, no one knows yet. Therefore, let's give her at least a few months to show her abilities. However, we are not yet used to talking to our phones as to other people, so it will be very interesting to see if this will change with Siri.
Of course, the camera was also improved. The increase in the number of pixels is no surprise, the 4S has around eight million of them. Pixels are not everything, which Apple knows very well and has focused on the optical system itself. The lens now consists of five lenses, while its aperture reaches f/2.4. That this number doesn't mean anything to you? Most mobile phones use a lens with three to four lenses and an aperture of f/2.8. The difference between f/2.4 and f/2.8 is huge, even if it doesn't look like it at first glance. The iPhone 4S sensor receives 50% more light than, for example, the sensor located in the iPhone 4. The five-point lens is also supposed to increase the sharpness of images by up to 30%. To make matters worse, the iPhone 4S can shoot video in FullHD resolution, which will be automatically stabilized with the help of a gyroscope. Are you also looking forward to the first reviews and sample videos?
Owners of the previous model - the iPhone 4 - can be satisfied. Their phone still has great performance and nothing is forcing them to spend money on a new phone after a year. 3GS users could of course consider the purchase, it depends on preferences. iOS 5 runs decently well on the 3GS, and these old mobile phones can serve without a problem for another year.
Disappointment? No.
When it comes to the insides of the new 4S, there's nothing to complain about. It exactly meets the parameters of today's modern high-end smartphone. Yes, the design remained the same. But I still can't figure out what the benefit of a completely redesigned look would be? After all, even the 3G and 3GS are identical devices from the outside. Apparently people have (unnecessarily) succumbed to reports of a completely redesigned look based on silicone cases. After finding out the dimensions of these cases, I was literally horrified. "Why can't Apple release such a paddle into the world?!", sounded in my head. I was really quite skeptical about these rumours. The closer we got to October 4th, the more obvious it became that a single model with the design of the iPhone 4 would be introduced. Or is it just psychology? Would this model have had a different initial response if it had been called the iPhone 5?
Many people would like a bigger display. All iPhone models have it exactly at 3,5". Competitors mount displays with giant diagonals in the range of 4-5” in their smartphones, which is somewhat understandable. A larger display is suitable for browsing the web, multimedia content or games. However, Apple produces only one phone model, which must satisfy the largest possible percentage of potential users. 3.5" is such a reasonable compromise between size and ergonomics, whereas 4" and larger displays have very little to do with ergonomics for "medium-sized hands".
Therefore, please write in the comments here under the article or on social networks what you expected from the new iPhone and why, and whether you are satisfied with the 4S. Alternatively, write what disappointed you and why.
I, on the other hand, am happy for the same design. I don't have to buy a new car mount. And there will be more accessories that one would have to replace if the dimensions change as everyone prophesied. And a bigger device... Even though I don't have a child's palm and short fingers, this size seems just right to me.
In my opinion, iP4S is a logical step. The iP4 has a great design that doesn't need to be changed so quickly. The biggest change is obviously Siri. Sure, voice control isn't new, but it's how it's delivered and how well it works. And apple can deliver it really well and I'm sure a lot of Americans will start using this feature.
For me, the biggest news is iOS5. Can't wait to download it to my iP4.
just a question:D you wrote that you don't need to buy a stand for the car, that means you probably want to buy the 4S, I'm looking for the best iPhone 4, do you plan to sell it or do you want to keep it?:) You don't have to stone me right now, just I'm desperate and looking for a solution...
buy a half-year-old SGS II cheaper with better durability, better display, better processor, RAM, voice control, search, ….. and you don't have to be desperate and you'll be smarter :)
It's not just about hw, but mainly about iOS and related services, and your S2 doesn't catch on there.
I would argue a bit. I have tried phones with all possible smart and stupid operating systems (both for work and private). Even though Android has come a long way, iOS has been working reliably for me and doing what I need it to do. And I really don't just make phone calls. RAMs not RAMs, display size, voice control, number of cores and who knows what else SGS has in II better, bigger, smarter and shinier. It's not quite like that. I've been using iP for over 3 years now because of this.
It's absolutely nothing against Andriod, but it still happened to me that I got to the point of having to remove the battery due to a stuck system or similar trifles from various incompatibilities, which are quite annoying at times.
to Ondra: I plan to buy a 4S and I have for sale a black i4 and even a 3GS, both 16GB
Lukas, I would be interested in i4 cars. send me an email and we'll agree on a price. jkrejcirik09@gmail.com
Hello, if you offer a good price, I'll sell you an iPhone 4 32GB black and I'll go for the 4S ;) then write to charles tecka vintner zavinac list tecka cz. Thanks for the offers :)
Hello, if you are interested, I can sell you an iPhone 4. :)
caute :-) iP 4 is nice and 4S too .. I think it's cool that they didn't release anything fancy :-) it will be up to five :-)
however.. Charles, Michael :-) Lukas .. email me if you still want to get rid of the iP4 :-) I would like to buy the iP4 :-) I don't care about the color .. that's already up for negotiation.. :-)
mail: hefidlo gmail
Thanks Radek
Michael, I'd like to buy your iPhone, if it's still under warranty and if it's white, all the better... write me an email and I'll agree on price….jkrejcirik09@gmail.com
I can also offer ANYONE. 2 new iPhone 4 16GB (I have black and white). Warranty runs from next week, 2 years with vodafone. (I ordered them today) Original unwrapped. Each for 10,- .. Who is interested, please email info@nfix.cz :)
I plan, but only in time, after all, why would I change until the system rubs off? Rather, I meant to say that it seems to me a plus and a friendly approach if the two models remain the same design. I don't know what kind of accessories anyone buys for top phones, but I assume not universal giant monsters to cover everything, but designed specifically for a specific model.
Complete agreement. I personally have the highest hopes for Siri….
why didn't you buy Android….you could have had it a long time ago…..but Google is a bit (about 10x smarter), we don't want to control the mobile with voice ;-)
especially the paradox: "shall I write an SMS by voice?" Sure, I have an iPhone for 20 and I will text, why call, calling is expensive" :-D
No other manufacturer has anything like SIRI! The fact that Google does in Android is nonsense. Google can convert spoken text into written form, which is light years away from what Siri can do...
And Google needs an internet connection for that.
Well, this article exactly captures my feelings. Why disappointed and HW? iOS 5 will always bring the biggest changes. I was afraid that Apple would succumb to the fashion trend of small "tablets" with a calling function :). Besides, the 4S was somewhat expected, just take it: 2007: iPhone 2008: iP 3G 2009: iP 3GS 2010: iP 4 and logically now iP4S. So according to everything iP 5 will be next year and we probably have a lot to look forward to :). And by the way, iOS 5 really did well :)
Well, it's not a disappointment for me - I didn't expect anything. I think it's stupid that siri will only be for 4S, when it would run perfectly on 4, but that's Apple's style. As for the design, the 3G was better, the edge just doesn't fit the hand very well.
You have an error in "fast system with no responses.", it should have been "fast system with no delays."
Behind me: I was expecting a larger display (4″), less weight, a rounded back (IP4 cuts in the hand), a rounded front (IP4 cuts into the ear) and more durable back material. On the other hand, I would prefer just an improved 5Mpx chip and not 8Mpx.
I buy the 4S anyway, if only because I'm bored, but I like the idea of what was considered IP5 more :-)
That was there on purpose to let me know if anyone was paying attention :-P
Thanks for the warning.
If you're going to sell your ip4 in the next few weeks, you've just found a buyer...if you still have it under warranty and you're willing to offer a better price than the others, I'll be happy to do business with you...my email: jkrejcirik09@gmail.com
I am very happy that the new iPhone kept the same design and in my opinion the iPhone 4S is not a disappointment at all, Apple has shown that it is always one step ahead of the competition. I like Siri the most, it is something perfect that paves the way for a new era of mobile phones. But I decided not to buy an iPhone 4S because Siri doesn't work in the Slovak language yet and I don't even know if we'll ever see it, I hope so. iPhone 4 with a screen is enough for everything :)
I was expecting a design similar to the iPad 2, especially that the back is made of aluminum or something solid that won't break on the first drop. I don't like the glass at all. I don't want him to look like this after the first fall
http://www.iphonefreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/4736046488_09e3e635e1_o.jpeg
I have a 13" mbp and an iPad 2, so an iPhone with a black border around the display and an aluminum side and back would fit perfectly. So I'm waiting for the iPhone 5.
Unfortunately, there is no mention of AppleCare+, which costs $99 and extends the warranty to two years with fall insurance. I then ask only 49 usd for a repair after a fall, and it applies to a maximum of two such repairs. Apple tuned the hooker to perfection.
Otherwise it would suit me.
The camera did not have to be 8 megapixels, 5 megapixels and improved optics were enough. According to the photos, it takes better pictures than my very old ultrazoom Olympus with 3 megapixels.
The optics are improved.
I know, but optics can always be improved. They unnecessarily increased the number of megapixels, when in reality it brings more money and the photos are unnecessarily large.
It wasn't just an increase in resolution, but there is a better lens, noise reduction and other things.
Thanks for the warning, added to the article. The optics have been improved quite substantially.
I'd like to exchange my 4 for a 4S, it's another leap forward and the fact that it's the same is very good, I don't want to carry a TV in my pocket, then I have an ipad2
I'll buy your old iPhone from you if it's still under warranty. write to email jkrejcirik09@gmail.com
Exactly as Paul wrote. I also kind of guessed that it could turn out that way. However, there is also the possibility that Apple knew something was very wrong and so the new iPhone was in honor of Steve... iPhone 4(for)S(teve) or iPhone for Steve. But that's just my feeling. From the beginning after the end of the ofi conference, however, I was a little disappointed because my only source of information that evening was Twitter and not everyone looked very enthusiastic there. But the next day, I played the conference in iTunes and once again purred with happiness. :-) and for those who cut iP in their hands and ears... Buy a bumper, it holds better and doesn't slide rather than cutting. But that's just my subjective feeling. Nice article
Well, a bumper might solve this for some, but for a lot of people it's just as disastrous as putting it in a tacky case. I had it, I tried it and gave it away quickly, although it would solve the cutting, but it was already big and uncomfortable in the hand and the material was quite unpleasant.
I'm definitely happy here and I'm looking forward to owning it... it can already be understood as a memory of Steve Jobs...
I would also like to contribute to the discussion. Maybe the iPhone 4S was a disappointment for some, but I really don't see it that way. I really like its design and really why not change the design. More importantly, what's inside isn't it? :) at least that's my opinion. Apparently, some iPhone 4 owners will also be disappointed because, as I have already heard from some quarters, that if someone has an iPhone 4S and they have an iPhone 4, then there is no difference, that they have the latest technological gadget. But for me, let him say what he wants. So was the 3G and 3GS. I also had an iPhone 3GS and heard countless times, "You have the iPhone 3G?". But why a bigger display? I would hate to carry almost an "iPad" in my pocket. After watching the keynote over and over again, I decided that I would definitely trade my "old" iPhone for the 4S, and I'd be happy to. I was impressed by the 8MP camera and I've liked the retina display for a long time. I was equally impressed with Siri. I'm really looking forward to it, even if it's not in Czech yet. On the other hand, it will force me to improve my English, at least in what will be needed to use it. And finally, I can't wait for all the goodies of iOS5. So why change the look of the phone when it's great and the most important thing about the phone is the functionality :) But as I say, it's just my opinion :)
I would just like to say that design is not only about "looks" and beauty, but comfort is also hidden under that term. Of course, everything is subjective, but when someone writes that they wanted a new design, they don't necessarily mean that they want something nicer or simply different.
I'm glad they stuck with this design - no need to buy new accessories. But I expected weight loss.
Well, I would actually carry the "television" in my pocket. I would like a 4-4,3″ display. In fact, 4" seems reasonable to me, and 4,3" is extreme for my hand. Well, I'll probably try Android this year. It's just a pity that the processing is worthless and the update too. So I'll wait to see what the new nexus will be like. The iPhone is simply too small and it bothers me a little that it doesn't even have a file system. It's a shame that I need to change after 3 iPhone models :(
heck, I don't see anything wrong with the SGS2... the processing is excellent... maybe they will improve the endurance, but the biggest consumer is the display, so it won't go much further... just use it as a dumb phone, it will last even a week... someone reported 14 days
it lasts me 2 days, calls here and there, sms, internet, taking photos with GPS, maps, books, downloading... just 2 days of medium load
Yes, as I played with it, so did the processing. But I didn't have the feeling that I was holding a piece of the phone. Lasts me at least that day with frequent use.
but You will come back... I also went through this platform "swapping" :-)
And what was your experience like? I will pass there and back. Well, ios5 won't surprise me anymore.
I also found out how to sync itunes content. I'll see. In that case, I would probably like the nexus, where there is an update right away and it's not messed up by the manufacturer.
if you are going to sell your iPhone in the next few weeks, then if you give a better offer than the others, I will gladly buy. my email: jkrejcirik09@gmail.com
I thought to myself after the show that it was to be expected. And even if I would like a bigger display, I still think that the "same design for two years" tactic is not so bad. Just for accessories.
Pools http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzsBwnv_dAg&feature=related wouldn't be in vain, but... will Tim Cook be up to it... maybe so.
You're crazy aren't you? Maybe iPhone 50 :-)
:-) It is super! But the design alone would be enough. I am not on the branch of the introduced 4S. Not much has changed for me. The only benefit is perhaps the hardware boost, but you probably won't know it in practice. Siri doesn't work for me - in the vast majority of cases I need to control the iPhone silently. 8 Mpx camera - see comments from others, i.e. the quality of the photos does not depend on the number of pixels. On the other hand, the better brightness of the lens will probably help a lot. The stabilizer - I'm a bit skeptical about it - the gyroscope detects the rotation of the iPhone in three axes, but if my hands shake, the iPhone shakes too, but it doesn't rotate around the rear axis. :-) So what about that? :-) The last things are no longer important for me, I don't need 64 GB of memory. The biggest benefit will be iOS 5. And it will run even on older models. Well, of course, I'll probably buy a 4S anyway and sell the "four", but it would be hard for me to rationally justify it to someone, so I won't even brag about it.
Doesn't the gyroscope help with vibrations? So why is it also used in cameras such as Panasonic? Why is it used for flying machines to keep the machine in a smoother flight? The gyroscope is ideal for this, believe me, it just depends on how sensitive and tuned it is. In Panasonic, they stabilize the lens itself with it and it works great
You obviously don't know anything about gyroscopes, so don't try to explain it. For ordinary people, what I wrote above is enough - the gyroscope can sense angular changes in three axes. It can't sense the rear position change in space in the sense of displacement of the object, only its rotation. And that is also the reason why it can help flying machines in stabilizing their flight. I don't know how to solve Panasonic's stabilization, but I know about several methods of image stabilization used in lenses, and none of them are based on the gyroscope principle. I'm not saying that I know them all, it's not my subject, but I know a lot about gyroscopes in relation to aviation.
If your iPhone 4 is still under warranty and you will be selling it in the near future, then if you give me a better offer than the others, I will gladly buy it. My email ever: jkrejcirik09@gmail.com
Otherwise, the article is interesting. I remember very well your twitter, where you were downright disappointed that ip5 was not presented. And after a few days there is an article, why ip4s is not a disappointment....
Probably the same reaction as mine. I was also expecting something completely new revolutionary. However, when I thought about it, basically why. I have an ip4 and am perfectly happy with it and the design is basically timeless so why change it. So definitely why change it after a year. As already mentioned, it is also advantageous because of the accessories. Apple always made news once every 2 years, and after a year of "upgrade" it corresponds to this interval as well.
But even so, I think that Siri will be quite revolutionary…. but only time will tell.
to jenja: I guess you don't like iPhone very much, do you? Siri really isn't just mindless voice-to-text. And the fact that I will buy an iPhone for 20 doesn't mean that I don't want to text and that I will only make calls. Sometimes you just can't even call and you have to write messages. I have never been particularly a fan of the bitten apple and I don't even want to praise it above all else... simply every system has its pros and cons. However, I simply wouldn't want another phone other than the iPhone because I know that the investment of 20 for this phone is worth it... and in a word: design, reliability, speed, simplicity, clarity... that's what I appreciate about it!
I wouldn't say that the design is timeless. On the contrary, it is a design that currently does not fit the latest Apple products, and the user council still appreciates the design of the previous model more. See posts above. Anyway, it's everyone's business.
As for Siri - its use will be quite limited for our ends and, moreover, it requires data transfers, so practice will tell.
I just like the 4 a lot. It's elegant and I like the sharp edges...it's true that this is a purely subjective opinion.
And as far as Siri is concerned – its use in the Czech Republic will probably be quite limited and the main concern is, that he will be here only after x years. However, Siri itself is simply revolutionary. Of course, if it really works, as it should.
The iP4/s design is very similar to the Macbook Pro model range (edges to sides) and until the introduction of the iPad2, it perfectly matched the iPad1. As for the design of the previous iP models, yes, I liked it too until I bought the iP4. The phone is smaller thanks to the straight edges and significantly thinner, and in the pocket the difference is very noticeable compared to the predecessor.
I'm not worried about the size, even in that pocket the rounded edges were nicer. And I have to say that the round shape sat better in my hand. Then when I took four, the phone slipped out of my hand several times - precisely because of the edges that functioned as rails. But otherwise, I'm basically not against the design of the four, I like it, but the previous one just had something wrong with it. If the new model were in the aluminum unibody style, it would match the current Apple products. Now I have an old white Macbook, with which the white 3GS matched me beautifully. I hesitated for a long time with the four, waited a few months for the white version, but finally bought the black one. Now I have a new MBA to go with it. The 3GS is already out of the house, it's the last one left, so I have 3 things with quite different designs, which makes me a little sad.
For me, the 4GS was no disappointment, on the contrary, the 4G with the antenna was a disappointment, so I stayed with my 3Gs and now I will go to the 4GS in white.
I will definitely buy an iPhone only once every two years with the S mark!
I don't understand how someone can write about an android on the apple store, it's like Grandma saying she can cook!
When the iTunes beta was released, it was clear that there would only be one phone. I didn't expect anything else even before that. The equipment is very nice, but there is one disappointing thing; and that's battery life :(
The iP4S didn't really disappoint me, on the contrary, I was relieved when they announced "only" the iP4S, because if they had announced a five with a bigger display and a different shape, they would have pissed me off, because the iP4 and S have, in my opinion, the best design ever, and if I had to change something for the 5, it would be by 1,5. reduce the thickness by 2,3 mm, but in my opinion, the best thing to do would be to completely remove the sim card, reduce the processor and keep the same dimensions, maybe even condense the pixels and make a sharper retina. To remove the SIM card, it would be luxurious if you could buy a service from the operator, bring home the installation package and just load the SIM card via iTunes :) and also if you could load SIM cards, for example 10, 4, 4... and then just switch the SW via which SIM card, what to do , same as with email accounts. This would be a hit with a lot of managers and normal people. If they also miniaturize everything inside, they have more space for the battery. I will definitely go for the iP1S depending on what VF announces the price. Alternatively, what will the price be directly on the apple store website. And finally, I would like to point out to the article that the A800 has 5Ghz and not 2Mhz, because the A4 is basically 4x the A800, so correct it. If A4 had 4Mhz, it is not competitive at all. And also what did you all expect them to release for an iP when the release of the iP5S, or in the form in which it was, could have been expected, whether it was called 2S or 6, it doesn't matter, but the iPad4 showed new HW, so it was expected that the new iP would show the same thing... simply this is a logical step, moreover, if Apple does not have the A4 in hand "yet", there is no reason to make a completely new device. I am also satisfied as a SIRI bonus and that is probably the biggest reason for selling the iPXNUMX and buying the iPXNUMXS.
Yes, the A4 is clocked at 1 GHz, however it is underclocked to 800 MHz. And you see, he is still competitive. In the same way, the processors of all previous models are underclocked.
The exception is iPads, where the processors are ticking "fully".
If you are going to sell iPhone 4 and it is still under warranty, I will buy it from you if you give me an interesting price offer... Send me an email and I will make an agreement...

In terms of design, the iPhone 4 is precise. This is probably why Apple saw no reason to change the design of the iPhone 4S. The overall "massage" of the brain was very impressive. People at the October 4th Keynote were just waiting for the iPhone 5. The Magic Five was what they were waiting for, on a mass scale. They also expected something new with the five - design, etc. Actually, they didn't even know why. But the pressure of what was circulating on the Internet about the iPhone 5 was simply enormous and people succumbed to it. They wanted to experience the same revolution as at the presentation of the iPhone 4. But what should be changed when the iPhone 4 is perfect in terms of design and performance? Therefore, Apple has plenty of time to come out with the iPhone 5 and a redesigned design. At the moment, Apple already has the iPhone 5 prototype and is fully working on its finalization. Apple is always two years ahead of the world, as written in the book "How Steve Jobs Thinks".
Disappointment came when Apple introduced "only" the iPhone 4S at the Keynote. At this point, people experienced disappointment. But why? Because they were simply expecting a "five" with a new design, etc. They wanted to experience a revolution again like when the iPhone 4 was introduced. Because of this disillusionment, people will take longer to absorb the iPhone 4S. In the end, they will find out that Apple made this prudent move, because the iPhone 4 was and is perfect, and the iPhone 4S is "just" its logical outcome and tweak, just as OS X Snow Leopard is a tweak of Leopard :) What do you think? I have an iPhone 4 and if I can exchange it for a 4S for a lot of extra money, I'll go for it :)
At the same time, one thing is easy. If someone develops and sells a single phone model, it is not in their power or interest to make a revolution every year. After all, if we leave development matters aside, changing the entire chain of production of tens of millions of pieces is no small thing.
By the way, I was very pleased that this time Apple managed to keep the secret so well that they started selling the iPhone 5 in China.
When a fake photo of the iPhone 5 with a giant screen appeared, many people were excited about the design, and I sadly did not understand where people were coming from. In my opinion, these are new recruits to the Apple stable, who rather discovered the magic of Apple only from a superficial point of view. It is primarily about people without taste, only oriented towards (pseudo) image, not to mention design changes, when apart from the iPad, the design designed by Apple has been used for X years.
Above all, the iPhone is an icon with which the competition has trouble sleeping, Apple is about lifestyle and not about sending SMS. Yes, calling in CR is not cheap, but it is also not an iPhone that focuses primarily on the comprehensive use of all services. If you want an occasional freezing toy, buy something but don't buy an iPhone from the competition. The iPhone is not for everyone, it is exceptional for exceptional people like Steve Jobs.
Excellent article that I totally relate to. I have to say that I don't understand people who are disappointed. I don't know how they figured out that Apple now has to introduce something every year that makes people sit on their asses. Or better yet, if it doesn't, the competition will overtake Apple. Stupid, even if Samsung came out today with its super inflated Galaxy S III, it still can't match the iPhone in many ways. As for the technologies that are being pushed so much today, that is LTE and NFC. LTE is still everywhere only for testing and will be like that for another year. With NFC, things may freeze a little, but the technology is also not far enough along that it makes sense to implement it. Perhaps their deployment in the iPhone would have boosted development a bit, but it is still running fast enough now that the next iPhone will include both technologies under its features and its users will use them to the full as they can do with any other feature of the iPhone. People simply let themselves be fooled by the media massage that took place around the iPhone, and it must be said that even the apple seller is not without fault. See the recently published article on the 100% certainty of the shape of the phone according to the alleged cover from the "friendly" store AppleMix. Anyway, the new iPhone is definitely nothing that the iPhone should be ashamed of, and if people follow the events around Apple, they know that Apple definitely has new technologies, and when it has them in a usable form, we will definitely see them on some iDevice.
the biggest pleasure for 4s is 8gb iP4 :) of course, God willing, it will be offered in our unseen regions and for an adequate price (50 euros). I don't need a lot of memory (I'm not the type who MUST have every possible application, I don't play games and I don't watch movies on it), and on the contrary, for that price you get a really EXCELLENT phone (iOS5, retina, A4....)
I don't mind the unchanged design at all :) Furt is awesome.
