What's New with the Apple's iPhone 4S

Apple's iPhone 4S has a faster processor and an upgraded camera, all the benefits of iOS 5, and a useful and immensely fun voice assistant. Call quality on the Sprint model is admirable, and the data speeds, while certainly not 4G, get the job done.



So when will they introduce a larger screen?

The bottom line: The iPhone 4S isn't the king of cell phones, but it's part of the royal family nonetheless. Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade.

What's the Difference Between the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4?

As I said, the iPhone 4S is indistinguishable from its predecessor. For the most part, that's fine with me. Having lived through the thin phone craze started by the Motorola Razr, I'm not aching for a slimmer device. Granted, the 4S can feel bulky at times, but I continue to enjoy its solid feel in the hand (something that's not always there with skinny phones). I don't have any problems with the handset's general aesthetics, either. A thinner phone may be prettier, but it's what's inside that really counts.


The iPhone 4S' design is unchanged from the iPhone 4. That's fine with us, except that we'd like a larger display. The 4S inherits all the standard iPhone features from the preceding models, including the calendar, voice memos, weather and stock apps, the various clock features, Google Maps, the compass, text messaging and e-mail, and the Notes app. The iPod player is there as well

Virtual Trainer Fitness iPhone App

Lose weight, bulk up and perfect your form with the Virtual Trainer app. It has a database of more than 300 exercises and warm-ups with step-by-step pictures; more complicated exercises are accompanied by how-to videos. You can also use Virtual Trainer to help tone specific problem areas like your abs, arms, back or chest. The app will log your workouts and keep track of maximum weights and repetitions; it even lets you add your own custom exercises to the log. The one big complaint about the app is that it's pretty slow over a 3G network.
