The new iPhone is no doubt one of the most anticipated products of this year. Before the launch, it was shrouded by hearsay and speculation in just about every aspect, even it's name. A lot of us were expecting the iPhone 5, a re-designed, thinner phone with a larger screen running on a 4G network. A lot of questions were answered but a lot of people were disappointed when Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S at WWDC 2011. Same design, same screen size, same resolution, looks identical to 2010's iPhone 4 and it still only runs on 3G networks.
But keep in mind, just about everything that matters on the INSIDE of the new iPhone has been newly refreshed with a faster dual core A5 processor, upgraded camera, new version of iOS loaded with 200 new features(which we will go over) and a digital assistant called "Siri" that exclusively runs on this new model. Apple has also expanded to a new U.S. provider this year by adding Sprint, who joined Verizon and AT&T.
The iPhone 4S sold over a million units on the weekend of its release and Sprint has announced that it is its best selling phone of all time. Now that the weekend fun is over and the excitement has somewhat died down, it's time to take a serious look at whether it was worth all the hype, how it holds up to the standards of 2011, and if it's worth the upgrade from the iPhone 4.
