Title: Apple iPhone 5? Nope. It's the 4S Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 04, 2011, 03:33:55 PM http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/10/apple-iphone-5-iphone-4s-announced-with-a5-processor.html
Just what navychief said. Not a iPhone 5 but a iPhone 4. Quote Apple has announced its next iPhone and it won't be called the iPhone 5, but rather the iPhone 4S. From the outside, the iPhone 4S looks just like the iPhone 4 -- which may disappoint some hoping for a new form factor. On the inside however, the iPhone 4S is a new device, said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. Most notably, perhaps, is the addition of Apple's dual-core A5 chip, which is built by Samsung. The A5 in the iPhone 4S will offer seven-times faster graphics for better mobile gameplay and is "up to" twice as fast overall as the A4 chip in the iPhone 4, Schiller said. Live coverage: Apple iPhone 4S The iPhone 4S battery life will also be the best of any iPhone thus far, with eight hours of talk time and 40 hours of music listening capability. The iPhone 4S has a new wireless system that can "intelligently switch" between its two antennas to "make even better call quality," Schiller said. |
