Anybody who is an important somebody has held an iPhone and even used it. Today the latest iPhone 4S is totally different from the original iPhone. But if you look back 4 years ago when the first iPhone was released in 2007, it was a smartphone out of this world. For it was the first handheld phone to release touch screen technology with breakthrough internet communicator.
Steve Jobs, late co-founder of Apple didn’t stop at that. A man who was finicky about details and wanted to give the best to the public kept improving the iPhone each year since 2007!
It is no wonder that just a year after the release of the first iPhone, Apple released iPhone 3G. This smartphone didn’t get much upgrade in its features; however it did have some major improvements in its internet and networking capabilities.
In 2009, a more advanced and capable iPhone was released in the form iPhone 3GS. Not only did it have faster performance, it also finally had a high resolution camera with video capability and voice control. It also supported better downloading speed thanks to the 7.2 Mbit/s High-Speed Downlink Packet Access. In fact, the “S” in iPhone 3GS stands for speed.
By this time around, iPhone had gained so much popularity that fans wouldn’t wait to know about the new features of the next Apple’s smartphone ‘iPhone 4.’ Apple had to combat two major leaks before iPhone 4 was safely released. The iPhone 4 unique selling points was its video calling feature, speed and its flexibility in using different media like books, periodicals, movies, music, games and internet access. This was in June 7, 2010.
This year Apple made fans wait for the new iPhone for more than one year. Apple didn’t want a repeat performance of last year leak, therefore, it guarded its new iPhone with full security. Rumors and speculations were finally put to rest when Apple held a conference on 4th October that was called “Lets talk iPhone.”
Internet bloggers had created so much hype before iPhone 4S unveiling; many fans expected a completely redesigned iPhone 5. Therefore, there were a lot of cries and complains when iPhone 4S was displayed by Tim Cook. At first look, fans hated it (it looked very much like old iPhone 4), however, when fans had a second and third glance, they were crazy about the iPhone 4S again.
IPhone 4S is cool, no doubt. It has many features like the dual-core AS5 chip, Siri, advanced camera and many more. However, there is sad part behind this iPhone. This is the last iPhone to be made under the supervision of Steve Jobs because he passed away on 5th October. Ironically many people have pointed out that iPhone’s 4S might stand for “For Steve.”We just think it is one great big coincidence because Apple didn’t verify anything. In the end, it really doesn’t matter because this iPhone is a worthy dedication to Steve.
