The much awaited Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is over. It was expected that Apple would launch the iPhone 5 and possibly the iPhone 4S, along with plenty more at this event. However, sources revealed that the iPhone 4S had finally been launched by Apple in the event with the announcement of the launch of the iOS 5 launch on October 12th.
Tim Cook, Apple’s new CEO, took to the stage, promising innovations in both software and hardware. He said that though Apple currently had 357 stores in 11 countries, the initial focus would be on new retail stores that have opened in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
With a free update on the iOS 5 launch date which is to be October 12th, he also talked about recapping all the key features. So the new iOS 5 features would include a Newsstand – for accessing magazines and books on a monthly basis in a dedicated app – a new look Camera app with a direct shortcut and more editing features, and notifications at the top of your screen, again for faster access.
Finally Apple announced the launch of the iPhone 4S. This new iPhone 4S was said to have the same look as of the iPhone 4, though it will run with the iPad’s faster A5 chip and claimed 7x faster graphics for video. It will also come with improved battery life, improved antenna, and faster data transfer. The iPhone 4S is said to be twice as fast as the iPhone 4 with respect to downloading. What’s more – the iPhone 4S has 8MP camera, redesigned lens and a new antenna system that will choose the best of two antennas depending on where you are.
