Text of the page (random words):
the weather is to be cloudy and rainy and drop to 54 degrees today these commands can vary greatly and control almost every application of the smartphone the commands given do not have to be specific and can be used with natural language siri can be accessed by holding down the home button for a short amount of time compared to using the regular function an impact of siri as shown by apple video messages is that it is much easier for people to use device functions while driving exercising or when they have their hands full 23 it also means people with trouble reading seeing or typing can access the smartphone more easily 23 on the iphone 4s texting can be aided by the voice assistant which allows speech to text 23 in addition to regular texting messaging on the iphone 4s is supported by imessage a specialized instant messaging program and service that allows unlimited texting to other apple ios 5 products this supports the inclusion of media in text messages integration with the device s voice controlled software assistant and read receipts for sent messages input to the computer comes from a keyboard displayed on the multi touch screen or by voice to text by speaking into the microphone entered text is supported by predictive and suggestion software as well as a spell checker that includes many regional dialects such as swiss spoken french 41 at the announcement plans were in place for the iphone 4s to support many languages different features have different language requirements such as keyboards compared to the word predictor and spell checker which needs a large dictionary of words language support is related to the ios 5 operating system that the device launched with although not always the siri digital assistant supported french english and german at launch 13 since it uses a software based keyboard supported by the multi touch display it can support many different keyboard layouts without having to change physically the iphone 4s can display different languages and scripts at the same time 42 on september 19 2012 ios 6 was released to the iphone 4s among other compatible ios devices as an over the air ota upgrade package 43 according to apple the update contained 200 new features and tweaks which included a new maps app dubbed apple maps facebook integration and passbook an application that allows users to store their coupons boarding passes and tickets digitally 44 45 on september 18 2013 apple released ios 7 although some features that were released to newer devices such as airdrop and carplay were not supported on the iphone 4s the iphone 4s can also run ios 8 which was released on september 17 2014 due to the aged hardware the iphone 4s was not compatible with the apple watch on june 8 2015 apple announced at the wwdc that the iphone 4s would support ios 9 this makes it the first iphone to support five major versions of ios and the second ios device to support five major versions after the ipad 2 on december 22 2015 apple faced a class action lawsuit alleging that they had knowingly slowed down iphone 4s devices with ios 9 the lawsuit was settled in 2022 46 on june 13 2016 apple announced that the iphone 4s would not support ios 10 due to hardware limitations on july 22 2019 apple released ios 9 3 6 for the iphone 4s to fix issues caused by the gps week number rollover the issues would impact the accuracy of gps location and set the device s date and time to an incorrect value 47 preventing connection to https servers and consequently apple s servers for activation icloud and the itunes and app stores hardware edit the iphone 4s features a sony 8 megapixel camera and 1080p video recording apple a5 chip used in the iphone 4s the iphone 4s uses the apple a5 system on chip soc also found in the ipad mini 1st generation that incorporates an imagination technologies powervr sgx543 graphics processing unit gpu this gpu features pixel vertex and geometry shader hardware supporting opengl es 2 0 the sgx543 is an improved version of the gpu used in the iphone 4s predecessor the iphone 4 the iphone 4s uses a dual core model that is integrated with the apple a5 soc in the same way as the ipad 2 48 apple claims that the iphone 4s has up to seven times faster graphics than the iphone 4 this was corroborated by epic games president mike capps 49 the iphone 4s has 512 mb of ddr2 ram 3 maximum available storage size increased to 64 gb while the 32 gb and 16 gb model options were retained in september 2013 apple released an iphone 4s for free with a two year contract but with only 8 gb of storage the screen is the same as the prior generation iphones 3 5 inches 89 mm 640 960 resolution apple s retina design 42 there was an improvement in interactive multimedia applications compared to its predecessor 25 the iphone 4s uses the same proprietary 30 pin dock connector that is used on the iphone 4 which was first introduced in the 3rd generation ipod the iphone 4s has an improved cellular gsm antenna design over the iphone 4 the new antenna is divided up into two pieces within the stainless steel band that wraps around the sides of the smartphone therefore if the iphone 4s is gripped in such a way as to attenuate one piece of the cellular antenna the radio will switch to the other piece that isn t being gripped 50 the iphone 4s can support a maximum theoretical download speed of up to 14 4 mbps with hsdpa as a result of an upgraded radio chip inside it in addition to being a world phone both gsm and cdma customers can roam internationally on gsm networks 42 it also

upgraded quality 51 30 better clarity 26 better white balance color accuracy due to an additional lens ir filter a wider f 2 4 aperture and image signal processor built in a5 42 52 the built in gyroscope allows for some image stabilization for the camera while recording video although it still has room for improvement since state of the art image stabilization algorithms do not need to use a gyroscope but use image processing other features of the camera are macro for close up pictures and faster capture including being able to take its first image in 1 1 seconds and the next half a second later 25 42 there is a line on top of the earpiece of a white iphone 4s that is the proximity sensor this is included on the black model as well but is less visible the iphone 4s features a 3 5

notice the repositioning of the antennas that forms the perimeter around the smartphone the iphone 4 antenna is on the top of it while on the iphone 4s the antennas are on the sides this side antenna placement meant a benefit of cellular signal attenuation and was used in later models such as the iphone 5 the iphone 4s has a stainless steel dual cellular antenna design identical to iphone 4 cdma apple redesigned the antenna in the iphone 4 cdma after some original iphone 4 users reported cellular signal attenuation problems as a result of holding it in certain positions the improved cellular radio in the smartphone can switch between two antennas depending on which is sending receiving the best signal these two antennas are incorporated into the distinctive stainless steel band that wraps around the sides of the iphone 4s 50 the bands on the iphone 4s are divided into two antennas cellular and global positioning system gps with bluetooth and wi fi reliant on an internal antenna 18 55

in deep making the iphone 4 and 4s 21 5 thinner than the 3gs the internal components are situated between two panels of aluminosilicate glass described by apple as being chemically strengthened to be

iphone 4s was favorable reviewers noted siri the new camera and processing speeds as significant advantages over the prior model 13 14 15 tim stevens of engadget said that the iphone 4s does everything better than the iphone 4 but it simply doesn t do anything substantially different 15 joshua topolsky of the verge stated that if this were to be a car it would be a mercedes and that siri

compared to the playstation 3 and the xbox 360 home video game consoles that can process 275 million and 500 million polygons per second respectively 48 computer and video games s cvg deputy editor andy robinson told techradar that the 4s is certainly laying down some serious credibility for the iphone as a core gaming device not only is it now pushing out games that simply eclipse the 3ds visually but features like cloud saving and tv streaming support are really exciting for gamers 48 the senior gaming analyst at jon peddie research ted pollak believes the biggest improvement to gaming on the iphone 4s is the voice control features noting that one of the features that nintendogs players loved was the ability to talk to it there s no reason why a game like that couldn t be
