surendra.g Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 No new design Yes, all that talk of a slimmer, teardrop-shaped iPhone 5 turns out to be a fantasy (at least for now). On the outside, iPhone 4S looks the same as the iPhone 4 but it has upgraded guts. While plenty of people like the iPhone 4's design, people expect the latest and greatest gadget to look different from the previous version. The beauty here appears to be on the inside. No larger screen A lot of folks were hoping that Apple would move to a larger screen — like the ones found on competing Android models. There was even some talk that it didn't have to radically alter the design to add a a larger 4-inch, "edge-to-edge" screen. For better or worse the screen size remains the same. No 4G This was a biggie for a lot of people and will keep many iPhone 4 owners from upgrading. We thought the odds of a next-generation iPhone offering support for 4G Long Term Evolution networks was at best a 50-50 proposition. Unfortunately — and not unexpectedly — the iPhone 4S came out on the short end of the 4G stick. If it's any consolation, the 4S does offer dual-mode HSPA+ and CDMA2000 compatibility, making it a world phone. Telstra has HSPA+ and Optus is rolling it out, but Australia no longer has CDMA compatibility. No big leap in battery life We know. We're asking a lot for a phone with a faster dual-core processor and graphics chip to improve on battery life, but the fact is, some people were hoping Apple would continue its trend of significantly improving battery life from generation to generation. While we won't pass final judgement until we run our own battery tests, the battery life of the 4S appears to be about the same as the iPhone 4 (Apple is saying it's slightly better, but it looks pretty even to us — on paper anyway). No "one more thing" At the end of an Apple press conference, we're used to Steve Jobs pulling out that little extra gee-whiz feature that makes the Apple faithful swoon. That just wasn't here. Sure, Apple talked up its new voice-controlled Siri personal assistant and all the new features in iOS 5, but most of that stuff we knew about. In this case, the press conference ended on a pretty flat note. A lot of people said to themselves, "That's it? That's all?" It felt a little like a concert where the band walks off without doing an encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamKe Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 the phone as a whole is a disappointment. Forget top 5, its exisistance is a disappointment, and will kill apple in the long run sadly. Devudu steve jobs matram RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
