Our camera team has spent some professional time with the iPhone 4S, so check out our in-depth findings of the snapper.
The
iPhone 4S caught many by surprise, with Apple expected to release the
iPhone 5 - but instead we got an iPhone 4 with overhauled innards.
While
the masses were initially disappointed, the iPhone 4S features a glut
of top-end tech that is designed to put it on a par with the likes of
the Samsung Galaxy S2 - but does it manage to do that?
The
changes to the iPhone 4S are easy to document - the camera has been
upgraded to 8MP (with an improved aperture ratio), the CPU is now the
same dual-core A5 processor as seen in the iPad 2, and a seven time
increase in graphical processing power.
Check out our video of the iPhone 4S in action - is it the phone for you?
Also
we've got Siri, Apple's voice recognition service - will this be a game
changer for mobile phones or will it be nothing more than a gimmick? As we've mentioned, the iPhone 4S is almost identical in outward design to the iPhone 4,
which might irk those that like to show that they've got the most up to
date device from Apple when out and about with friends.
However, the flip side of this is that things like the plethora of iPhone 4 covers on the market at the moment will still fit. Apple
has slightly changed the design of the iPhone 4S somewhat though, by
changing to a dual-band aerial design, making sure it doesn't encounter
an embarrassing repeat of antenna-gate we had to endure with the iPhone
4.

iPad, and the newly released retina-ready MacBook Pro 2012 in our
close-up comparison video:
For
all those that haven't seen the older version of the phone, we'll take
you on a tour of the new handset: the top of the iPhone 4S houses the
power/lock button, as well as the headphone jack, plus a microphone for
noise cancellation.
The right-hand side of the phone is devoid of
any buttons, but holds the slot for the micro SIM card, which pops out
using the included tool (or a paperclip). The
bottom of the phone is pretty standard, with the Apple connector and
dual speakers which pump out the (actually quite decent) sound.
The
left-hand side of the phone sees the rounded volume keys, with the top
one of these also acting as the camera shutter button to make it easy to
snap with the new iPhone. We've also got the silencer switch too, which
has been slightly moved upwards from the previous iteration. As
you can see, Apple has altered its antenna band technology to move the
gaps that plagued the iPhone 4's reception to a less-touchable location.
