Mobile phone technology has evolved rapidly over the last year with competing devices featuring NFC technology for mobile payments, 4G connectivity, much higher resolution cameras and faster and more powerful processors. With Google Android, Apples main competitor, continuing to capture the market share with its pioneering Droid phones, we can expect the iPhone 4S to include these exciting features in its newest smartphone and much, much more.
With the recent anniversary of the iPhone 4 and the impending launch period of the iPhone 4S, rumours about the smartphone just keep getting louder and louder and the excitement for the device grows stronger as we approach the imminent launch of this next generation phone.
There are many reasons that we can think of as to why you should buy an iPhone 4S and what we can expect to see from the iPhone 4S is that it will be fully equipped with amazing new features including a dual core processor, a much more sleeker and slimmer body design, face recognition security, a more robust screen and body and prolonged battery life. We can’t wait to get our hands on the new iPhone and we’ve highlighted below some of the exciting features that we are looking forward to.
Video chat available at any time - One of the rumours floating around is that the iPhone 4S will have video chat from anywhere. This will be a huge benefit to iPhone users considering that the current model only allows FaceTime to be used over WIFI connections, which basically limits the use of video chat to the home. With the 4G network on the iPhone 4S, video chat will be able to be accessed from anywhere, at any time!Face recognition security – We’ve heard of numerous reports concerning Apple and the likely purchase of a specialist facial recognition technological firm in Sweden. This firm also specialises in similar facial recognition applications that are able to recognise users based on their facial features. We believe that the next generation iPhone will be using these facial recognition applications as an added security feature, making the phone much more secure. So if any of you are taking into consideration security issues when you buy iPhone 4S, this will be a fantastic security feature that will ensure your data will be safe, should it get into the wrong hands.
Dual core Processor – With competing smartphones currently featuring more processing power than the iPhone 4, rumours say that we can expect the iPhone 4S to have a dual-core 1GHz A5 processor. This is highly likely considering that Apple already have a dual core processor in the iPad 2. This will allow for improved graphics meaning that app developers will be able to produce much more dynamic and CPU-intensive games as well as better delivery of photography and high res videos.
Extended battery life – As we all know, the battery life for the current iPhone 4 does not last very long and this alone has put some people off when they are considering whether or not to buy an iPhone 4S. This is a highly demanded feature and it is said that this will improve to about 14hrs of talk time on 3G and 7hrs of talk time on 4G, giving a standby of 600hrs which is double the standby time of the iPhone 4.Larger storage space – Many people complain that the storage space on the current 32GB iPhone 4 does not have enough space to store all of the things that they want to. With 2009 being the last time that Apple increased the capacity of the iPhones storage space, we’re expecting to see a bigger volume of space in the iPhone 4S, possibly a 64GB version considering the iPod touch already has this size.
3D graphics – We assume that the iPhone 4S will feature much better 3D graphics considering that the iPad 2 already has PowerVR SGX543MP – fingers crossed this will be carried across to the new iPhone.
Body design and screen improvements – A lot of people are speculating that the new iPhone will have a much sleeker body design, we are hoping that it will be much slimmer like the iPod, but we’ll have to wait and see on this one. It is also possible that we will see a much larger screen as many of the other competitors such as the HTC already feature a larger screen. Although current iPhone fans may not want an increase in screen size so instead of a larger screen we may see an edge-to-edge screen configuration improvement. This will most probably be one of the biggest decision-makers when deciding whether to buy an iPhone 4S due to aesthetic looks being really important to most people.Cloud-computing support – This is a highly demanded feature so we are fairly certain that we will see a much better file-syncing service on the new iPhone.
There are many other features that could also be included in the iPhone 4S that are being talked about by tech-geeks including voice recognition and fully customisable home screens with the new iOS 5. The next question you need to ask is how can I buy an iPhone 4S? There will be a lot of help around the web that will help you with this and once the iPhone 4S is released it will be a lot easier for you to make your decision.
