iPhone 4S dismantled at the stage of pre-orders

Despite the fact that the vast majority of users remain frustrated due to release iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5, it seems that the smartphone could be the best selling in history.

At present, all the preliminary application for the younger smartphone exhausted from all three U.S. operators, which are partners in Apple. According to an official statement of the company, only the first day, the number of pre-orders smartphone surpassed 1 million, making it a new record. The previous record belongs to the iPhone 4, the preliminary application for which amounted to 600 thousand.

On Web sites, AT & T, Verizon and Sprint instead of the possibility of preliminary applications to find out about the need to wait for some time. So, AT & T announces the 3-4 weeks waiting, and Verizon promises availability of devices by the end of this month. As for Sprint, it is still available two older phone model, with 32 and 64 GB of memory, but with 16 GB version is already sold out.

Apple has increased orders for iPhone 4S, signing a contract with Pegatron, which will release 10 to 18 million units. Total for the current quarter Apple expects to sell about 25 million units of iPhone 4S. Pre-orders smartphone launched on 7 October, while real sales began yesterday.

Apple iPhone 4S is the first phone with Bluetooth 4.0

A wave of discontent and disappointment in the company's fifth-generation Apple smart phone somehow got lost and went almost unnoticed is one important detail: this is the first smartphone equipped with a wireless module, Bluetooth 4.0, as, indeed, was supposed earlier. The latest version of the wireless protocol designed to exchange data over short distances, in real time, not a transcendent achievement, as compatible products are still scarce. However, in the short term, this decision could be crucial. So what makes this an indispensable Bluetooth 4.0?

The main advantage of Bluetooth 4.0 technology is a low power consumption BLE (Bluetooth low energy). This benefits primarily compatible devices that need to be constantly connected to the telephone to communicate. Previous versions of the protocol include too active power consumption and require frequent battery recharging themselves with mobile phones, but it is certainly not always convenient. More precisely, always uncomfortable.

Examples of such wireless peripherals are medical devices and sport: pedometers, heart rate sensors, sensors, blood sugar (blood glucose meters) and more. No less benefit Bluetooth 4.0 and for the most popular gadget in the segment - wireless headsets and headphones, which are also permanently connected to the phone. And, of course, not to mention about the range of the fourth-generation chips. In low-power mode it is 50 meters high and 100 m in normal mode. In this protocol Bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatible with older versions of the standard. Given that the manufacturers of accessories are very fond of innovative ideas Apple, in the foreseeable future we should expect an influx of wireless peripherals for Bluetooth 4.0.

iPhone 4S is equipped with 512 MB of memory, like the iPhone 4

An important feature of a smartphone that Apple passed over in silence during the presentation of the last iPhone, is the amount of memory. It seems that this was done because it remains the same - 512 MB (as much as the iPhone 4). This little detail shared creative director Donald Mustard Chair Entertainment (Donald Mustard), participated in the development of a demonstration Infinity Blade 2. In an interview with Eurogamer, he enthusiastically described the characteristics of the iPhone 4S the following words:

"I'm still shocked by this, with the iPhone 4 S, I, in fact, carry in a pocket camcorder with 1080 p, 8-megapixel camera, 64 GB hard drive, chip A5 and 512 MB ​​of RAM. It's a real powerful computer, right? "

Although the amount of 512 MB of RAM can be frustrating for someone to remember that exactly the same memory is equipped with tablet iPad 2, to which it is enough. However, if this is true, then the question arises: why Apple decided to offer its clients a universal voice aid Siri only on iPhone 4S, as it is officially announced. If the iPad 2 has the same (or even slightly higher) specifications that iPhone 4S, is there any reason to disable it Siri. Perhaps such a step is justified beta testing, followed by Siri get owners and other iOS5-aids?

Apple iPhone 4S?

More than a year after the release of the iPhone 4, Apple announced a new version of "apple" smartphone iPhone 4S. Just need to note that this is not the iPhone 5, which is expected to be equipped with a larger display, made in a thin and light form factor, with a lot of improvements in design and functionality.

Technological critics, consumers and industry analysts are left wondering what really happened to the "real updates" "Apple" news. Currently, when a device on Android is changing, getting bigger screens, quad-core processors and many software enhancements, it is easy to notice that the iPhone 4S, with all its advantages, not enough "silenok" in order to compete on equal terms with the flagship Android-smartphone.

Resource Pocketnow tried to summarize the main frustrations caused by the announcement of a new version of the smartphone Apple iPhone 4S.

Among them are:

• The size of the screen.

To date, 3.5 "is already not the best option diagonal screen. Practice has shown that a 4 "screen is much easier to search the Internet using a virtual keyboard and share photos with friends. In this case, perhaps, the larger screen device, the better.

• The hardware part.

Housing smartphone is still the slimmest in the world. It is strong, and used for its manufacture first-class materials. But the design is clearly outdated. It should be recognized that the body is a gray. No memorable design element - not polished metal, or the diversity of textures that distinguish "apple" from the novelty of the whole sea smartphone coming to market daily.

The timing of the announcement of the next model "apple" smart phone can also be a source of further frustration of users. If Apple will retain the annual cycle of releases of new products, before the fall of 2012 (or summer), the presentation will not be the iPhone 5. During this time, there will be new models of Android and Windows Phone, whose quad-core processor and screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels, are likely to become commonplace.

Sprint paid $ 20 billion for the exclusive right to sell the iPhone 5!

The upcoming announcement of the iPhone is the fifth generation of interest to many users, regardless of whether they are fans of "Apple" products or not. As it turned out, for a cellular operator Sprint new model can be a chance to change the placement in the hierarchy of U.S. carriers, as well as increasing the number of subscribers. Recall that at present only two U.S. operator AT & T and Verizon have the ability to implement the iPhone.

Resource Wall Street Journal says that Sprint has made a deal with Apple, according to the terms of which he spent the next four years should be available from the manufacturer about 30.5 million iPhone totaling $ 20 billion

For the operator, recently losing its subscriber base, this transaction is very important. According to sources, speaking at a meeting of the Board of Directors of Sprint, which took place in August, CEO Dan Hesse (Dan Hesse) said that the main cause of loss of customers is the iPhone - wanting to buy "apple" smartphone subscribers in the end went over to AT & T and Verizon. Hesse also said that to make a deal with Apple will have an operator over the next four years to acquire about 30.5 million iPhone cost $ 655 each.

Wall Street Journal writes that the board of directors, after long hesitation agreed to the proposal of Hesse. The risk of this transaction is very large. First, the operator will need to find a huge number of people willing to buy iPhone, because it can not be returned to smartphones. To attract customers, will need to make allowances for a contract for the purchase of up to $ 500, which becomes an additional burden for Sprint. By the way, the high price suggests that it will not be budget version of the smartphone.

Another post about the pending deal came from the resource BGR. According to BGR, the operator will receive exclusive rights to sell the iPhone 5 - this fifth model, not the iPhone 4S, which is expected to present today. This explains the enslaving terms of the transaction.
