Happy Birthday, iPhone 4S!

Exactly one year ago, 4 oktbyarya 2011, Apple presented the new iPhone. Despite everyone's expectations, the model did not become a revolutionary new 4S and received the name instead of the expected five, which was a definite answer from Apple: the iPhone's design uses Intel's notorious method of "Tik-Tok" ( "tick" - a new technology platform, "current" - new architecture).

4S device has become a landmark in many ways. presentation for the first time held by Tim Cook, the new CEO Apple, Steve replaced in this position at the end of August 2011. Frankly, compared with Steve on stage, he held an unusually dry and unemotional. In general, the presentation left the audience in some bewilderment - iPhone 4S in appearance indistinguishable from its predecessor only by the excess strip side (the consequences "antennageytbut"). But inside - a more powerful processor A5, gave into the hands of mobile games developers unprecedented power.

And the program filling contained a surprise that not all immediately able to appreciate - the personal assistant Siri. Siri has become a real innovation for the first time a normal person, not a scientist or a geek got a chance to interact with your mobile device using the live speech. Alas, a year has passed, and Siri is still available in a rather limited list of countries in which the territory exUSSR, of course, does not appear. For iPhone 4 users, this technology is also available, and this

deliberate restriction on the part of Apple.

From the point of view of the mass consumer, the coolest thing in the iPhone 4S - camera. This is particularly marked, and we are an exclusive review iPhone 4S. 8-megapixel, with excellent optics and a new stabilization system, support for 1080p video recording, it is perhaps one of the best cameras on smartphones today. Less than two months after the release, as the iPhone 4S became second popular "camera phones" on Flickr. Today he is the most popular camera generally.

Oh, and iPhone 4S is the first apple gadget support GLONASS :)

Procession of iPhone 4S on the planet was just fantastic. He did not just surpassed his predecessor, he broke all possible records of sales, which led to undisguised envy competitors. Despite the judicial tyazhbyIPhone 4S continued to gain market share for Apple, taking away the audience not only in the rapidly fading Nokia, but also in motley hordes of Android.

iPhone 5 we saw a year later, in early September. According to rumors, this is the last generation iPhone, the development of which took an active participation Steve Jobs. October 4, 2011, we were sorry that Steve did not have any on the stage or in the audience. Why - we learned the next day.
