The first official iPhone 4S reviews from journalists all over the web have hit. Pundits that got their hands on the iPhone 4S at Apple’s last event have dished on everything you need to know about Apple’s latest smartphone.
Jump the break for a roundup…
Walt Mossberg for AllThingsD:
Walt Mossberg for AllThingsD:
“Sometimes, as we all know, looks can be deceiving. While Apple’s latest iPhone doesn’t look different, and may not be the kind of blockbuster people expect from the late Steve Jobs’s company, it thinks different, to quote one of Apple’s old ad slogans. Inside its familiar-looking body there lurks a nascent artificial-intelligence system that has to be tried to be believed.”
MG Siegler for TechCrunch:
“I’m happy that Apple decided not to change the form factor even though they had to know there would be some backlash from a certain segment of the population (read: idiots). Instead, Apple focused on the other thing they do best: refining already great products to make them better. The iPhone 4 was a great product. The best smartphone ever made. Now it cedes that title to the iPhone 4S.”
Joshua Topolsky for This is my next:
“The iPhone 4S is a great device for some, but what if you’re thinking of upgrading from an iPhone 4? That’s a tougher call. The phone is faster, to be sure, and has an amazing camera. And of course, you can’t get Siri unless you have a 4S… but I just don’t know if any of those reasons are compelling enough to convince previous buyers to upgrade. The concept is a particularly hard sell for Verizon customers. The gap between this year’s model and last year’s model isn’t as wide as Apple would probably like.”
Jim Dalrymple for The Loop:
“You can look at each of the items that Apple will release in conjunction with the iPhone and be amazed with how innovative each one of them are.
When you put them all together in one product like the iPhone 4S, you have an incredibly successful product that other companies just can’t compete with.”
