Apple iPhone 4S Philippines Price, Complete Specifications, Photos
This post aims to collate all relevant information about iPhone 4S in the Philippines. Rest assured that it will be updated regularly or every time we get an update regarding Apple's newest phone.
Announced today, October 5, 2011, in an event in Cupertino, California, iPhone 4S is latest iteration to Apple's smartphone, the most successful in the world.
Although Apple iPhone 4S doesn't really look different from its predecessor - the best-selling iPhone 4, it does come with a number of improvements to its innards. The new iPhone features a dual core Apple A5 processor - similar to what powers iPad2, which is at least 2x as fast at CPU tasks. Also it comes with dual-core graphics that are up to 7x faster than the previous iPhone; helping provide an enhanced gaming experience. Also, iPhone 4S comes with an 8 MegaPixel camera (vs. the 5 MegaPixel camera of iPhone4) with CMOS backside illuminated sensor, which gets 73% more light and is 1/3 faster than the sensor of the previous iPhone. On top of that, Apple placed a high-end IR filter for greater accuracy and uniformity.
As for calls and data, iPhone 4S intelligently switches between two antennas between send and receive to make even better call quality. Data can now download up to 2x as fast. Theoretical max performance used to be 5.8 up and 7.2 down — now doubles to almost 14.4Mbps down.
One of the coolest things about iPhone 4S is Siri, the intelligent assistant to get things done just by asking. You can ask Siri all kinds of stuff, like where the nearest Greet restaurant. You can even ask Siri to read your messages to you and to define words! Siri does dictation — now whenever you see a keyboard, you’ll see a microphone.
Talk to Siri, tap done, and in the blink of an eye it comes back with your text. Speak with your natural language. Compose and dictate email right to Siri. Set timers. Look up contacts, create notes, search the web, search Wikipedia. It’s absolutely blow-away. Well, who is Siri? Just ask! Siri: "I am a humble personal assistant."
Running iOS 5, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating sytem, iPhone 4S gives users all the improvements that the refreshed platform brings, which include Twitter integration, iMessage, Notification Center, Improved Safari Browser and Newsstand.
Pricing and Availability:
AT&T, Verizon and Sprint will be the official carriers of iPhone 4S in the US. iPhone 4S will come in two colors, Black and White. There will be three variants for each color, which will don these price tags: 16GB for $199, 32GB for $299, and 64GB for $399. Of course, the pricing will be a lot different in the Philippines. No word yet on its exact release date in the Philippines but iPhone 4S will be available in Apple Stores in the US starting October 14. Again, don't worry, we'll keep you posted.
