Apple iPhone 4S 16GB Neverlocked/Factory Unlocked Black

With its fifth generation smartphone, Apple is keen to show that the devil is truly in the details: the iPhone 4S is wickedly fast, fiendishly well equipped and ruthlessly threatening to its mobile rivals.

The iPhone 4S is Apple’s first dual-core smartphone, bringing the Apple A5 chip currently found in the iPad 2 over to the new handset. The company’s key strength is in the tight integration of iOS and its custom processor: it may not be as fast on paper as some of the dual-core chips in current Android phones, but that isn’t the bottom line when you’re looking at overall performance. The close development of software and hardware pays dividends in app speed and battery life.

Voice control isn’t new, in fact the iPhone 4 – among smartphones running other platforms – already reacts to rudimentary spoken commands. There’s a difference, though, between voice control and what Apple offers with Siri, and it comes down to context.
