We saw the leaked about 30 mins before the start of the conference. Apple has just announced the iPhone 4S. On the outside the 4S looks exactly like its predecessor, but on the the inside its got an updated camera app, running iOS5, An A5 dual-core cpu, 7x faster than previous iPhone on gaming. Same Retina display. Data can now download up to 2x as fast. Theoretical max performance used to be 5.8 up and 7.2 down — now doubles to almost 14.4Mbps down. HSPA+ device. as well as CDMA A Worldphone.
Will sport a New 8MP camera, with a wide f2.3 stop. Taking pictures in 1.1 sec
IOS5 enhancements
Mail enhancements. Next up: PC-free. "We have a lot of customers who want to use the iPad or iPhone as their only device." Well, now you can, and it ain't too shabby. "These are just ten of the new features in iOS 5."
iCloud_ Backup: daily backups from your iOS devices, "easily restored right from iCloud." I'm not so sure about this one, I kind of like owning my backups, you know? Next: syncing contacts, calendars, mail — an ad-free me.com mail account. Find My iPhone is part of iCloud
iTunes Match service — again, review from past announcements. Granted, it's not out yet, but you've probably heard about it by now. "It scans and matches your library against our 20m songs, we'll upload what we don't find, we'll stream..." wait, did he just say stream? I don't think he meant to say stream.
It looks like the Apple Store jumped the gun and posted up picks of the iPhone 4S, which looks like an iPhone 4 running iOS 5. The Japanese Apple site posted the image and has since been taken down. with an expedited release date of Oct. 14th. No word on LTE, or what network other than the safe assumption is coming to AT&T & Verizon. We still have about a half hour to go. So we should get confirmation of this soon.
