Apple iPhone 4S 16GB - AT&T - Black : I have done my life from installing, configuring and supporting Microsoft products. I am fast becoming an Apple convert. I owned portable MP3 player is an Apple iPod Touch (4th) Generation. I am on my second iPad. The Apple name has become known for innovative products that just work and work well. Sure it costs a little more expensive than their competitors. The Apple's product are worth for the entry price.
I had to shop for an Apple 4S 16GB phone not long after it hit my local Best Buy.
The "iPhone 4S" is the latest and greatest smart phone from Apple. The top-of-the-line unit features an Apple A5 Dual-Core processor, IOS 5.0 & iCloud, all new 8MP camera and optics, 3.5-inch (diagonal) Retina widescreen Multi-Touch display with 960-by-640 pixel resolution. Apple has introducing Siri. The truly remarkable voice recognition system has thus far lived up to its considerable commercial prices.
The 4.9 ounce iPhone 4S is the same size and weight as its predecessor the iPhone 4. This is an improvement over its older sibling. Other new features include the 1080p High Definition (HD) video recording, all new optics, Notification Center, Photo Stream, iMessage, iCloud and Twitter integration all made possible by IOZS 5.0.
No matter what hardware version (16GB, 32GB, or 64GB) you chose the Ultra-Portable, iPhone 4S is a simple device with very few moving parts. The power button sits on the top of the device on the right, while a standard 3.5mm headphone jack is situated on the top to the right left of the power button. Along the left edge of the ultra-thin (0.37") iPhone 4S you will find the vibrate sound slider switch along with the volume control buttons. On the bottom of the unit you will find the proprietary USB power port. Since it is proprietary you cannot plug a USB memory stick into it but with the provided cord, you can plug it into your computer and sync with iTunes and charge the device. There is also a standard 120 volt plug-in so you can change the unit via an outlet.
What is Siri? Siri is billed as an "intelligent assistant that helps you get things done. All you have to do is ask". Siri is voice recognition software taken to a whole new level. Now the technology has been around for years but it has never been perfect and never heavily commercialized. The technology is now ready for commercial debut in a big way.
With Siri I can make phone calls, ask for directions, send text messages, dictate and send e-mail, schedule meetings, set reminders, locate hotels, restaurants and other commercial establishments in a given location. All of which I have done successfully with Siri iCloud.
Apple IOS 5.0 ships with Apples' newest innovation iCloud a technology that allows one to sync all of your various Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod) wirelessly via the "cloud". "iCloud "stores you music, photos, electronic books, apps, mail (only @me.com e-mail), contacts, calendars, and documents (only iPage documents). Once turned on it works automatically across devices. By add something to one device. It will show up on the other device when it syncs.
This does not mean that all of your music will suddenly appear everywhere. Default space for iCloud is only 5GB. The purchased music is synced via iCloud unless you sign up for iTunes Match a technology that allows you to access all your other music from iCloud including music you have ripped from your CD collection. Price is $24.99 a year and requires IOS 5.0.1.
Setting up iTunes Match is a three step process and takes a while to complete. All of your various devices will need to be setup for use the service once it is completely set up. I signed up for the service and it works rather well.
My First Impressions is I really like this new iPhone 4S 16GB with a couple of reservations. The phone does not always place a call the first time a number is dialed. When this happens I have to hang up and dial again. Another gripe is one I share with most iPhone 4 users battery power or the lack thereof. The unit is only good for a day of moderate use. Standby time will last a little longer about 48 hours.
Like all Apple devices setting up Wi-Fi is easy enough. When turned on the antenna continually looks for new Wi-Fi connections and once connected. It remembers and automatically connects to the Wi-Fi network when next encountered.
What make the iPhone so useful, far and away more than any phone I have ever used. These are the Apps. and iPhone ships with plenty. New with IOS 5.0 is iMessage a texting app that speaks via e-mail address or phone number. Texting is automatic between iPhone, iPad and iPod.
My conclusion is worth to shop the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 4S is a winner in my book despite the lack of a "5" moniker. The combination of light weight, functionality and connectedness is far better than phones I have used in the past. The Windows Phone 7 comes close but falls short of the mark in several arenas and Siri that I like most.
