t 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 supports bluetooth 4 0 41 the camera on the iphone 4s also known as an isight camera can take 8 megapixel photographs 3 264 by 2 448 pixels and record 1080p videos at up to 30 frames per second with 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 in 89 millimetres 960 by 640 pixel multitouch retina display it has two volume buttons and a ring silent switch on the left side 18 on the top left there is a 3 5 mm headphone jack and a microphone that is used for both noise cancellation during calls and when in speakerphone facetime video calling mode the lock power button is situated on the top right edge of the device 18 the right side of the device has a micro sim card slot the bottom of the device features a speaker output on the right and a microphone input on the left with the apple proprietary 30 pin dock connector in the center 18 the iphone 4s supports video out via airplay and various apple a v cables 42 supported video formats include h 264 1080p 30 frames per second maximum mpeg 4 video and motion jpeg m jpeg 42 in addition to user inputs the device also has several sensors that give the smartphone information about its orientation and external conditions these include a three axis gyroscope an accelerometer a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor 41 the iphone 4s claimed to have 200 hours standby time 8 hours talk time on 3g 14 hours talk time on 2g 6 hours 3g browsing and 9 hours wi fi browsing 41 42 53 additionally it can sustain up to 10 hours of video playback or 40 hours of audio playback 54 design edit comparison of the iphone 4 gsm antenna placement top with that of the iphone 4s bottom 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 the iphone 4 and 4s were designed by jonathan ive the 4 generation iphones differ from earlier apple designs the rounded design of earlier iphones has been replaced with a flat and boxlike look the redesign reflects the utilitarianism and uniformity of existing apple products such as the ipad and the imac the overall dimensions of the iphone 4s are lower than that of the 3gs 56 it is 115 millimetres 4 5 in high 59 millimetres 2 3 in wide and 9 4 millimetres 0 37 in deep compared to the iphone 3gs which is 116 millimetres 4 6 in high 62 millimetres 2 4 in wide and 12 millimetres 0 47 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 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic theoretically allowing it to be more scratch resistant and durable than the prior models 57 58 reception edit critical reception edit reception to the 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
