At announcement plans were in place for the iPhone 4S to support
many languages from around the world. Different features have different
language requirements, such as keyboards compared to the word predictor and
spell-checker, which needs a large dictionary of words. Language support is
related to the iOS 5 operating system that the device launched with, although
not always. The Siri digital assistant supported French, English, and German at
launch. Since it uses a software based keyboard supported by the
multi-touch display, it can support many different keyboard layouts without having to change
physically. The iPhone 4S can display different languages and scripts at the
same time.

Siri
The iPhone 4S introduced a new automated voice control system
called "Siri", unique to the 4S, that allows the user to give the
iPhone commands, which it can execute and respond to. For example, iPhone
commands such as "What is the weather going to be like?" will
generate a response such as "The weather is to be cloudy and rainy and
drop to 54 degrees today". These commands can vary greatly and control
almost every section of the phone. The commands given do not have to be
specific and can be used with natural language. Siri can be accessed by holding down the home button for an
extra amount of time (compared to using the regular function). An impact of
Siri, as pointed out by Apple video messages, is that it is much easier and/or
possible for people to use device functions while driving, exercising, or when
they have their hands full. It also means people with trouble reading,
seeing, or typing can access the phone more easily.
iPhone 4s Messaging
On the iPhone 4S, texting can be done aided by the voice
assistant which allows speech-to-text. In addition to regular texting,
messaging on the iPhone 4S is supported by iMessage, a specialized instant messaging
program and service that allows unlimited texting to other Apple iOS 5
products. This supports the inclusion of media in text messages, integration with
the device's voice controlled software assistant, and read receipts for sent
messages. iMessages are in blue, and regular texts in green in the screen
bubbles.
Since Siri can send text messages, a person can text and drive
without taking their eyes off the road, as shown in Apple's video
ad. Another example, is that a person can ask Siri for information while
they are cooking and their hands are messy. It also makes it much easier
for people with physical disabilities such as blindness to compose and send
text messages.
iPhone 4s gaming system
The iPhone 4S uses the Apple A5 system-on-a-chip that uses an Imagination Technologies Power VR SGX graphics processing unit, which features pixel, vertex, and geometry shadier hardware, supporting OpenGL ES 2.0.. The SGX543 is an improved
version of the GPU used in the iPhone 4S’ predecessor, the iPhone 4. However, the iPhone 4S uses a dual-core model, the SGX543, that is integrated with the Apple
A5,which is in the same way as the iPad 2
Apple’s claim that the iPhone 4S can process
graphics up to “seven times faster” than the iPhone 4 was corroborated by Epic Games President Mike Capps. At the “Let’s Talk iPhone” event held by Apple on October
4, 2011, Capps demonstrated Epic Games’ Infinity Blade 2, the sequel to Infinity Blade, on an iPhone 4S. Capps boasted that
the game uses Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 and features the same graphic
techniques used in the Xbox 360 game Gears.
Gaming on the iPhone 4S has been likened to the PlayStation Vita, that features the same SGX GPU
only in a quad-core configuration, and the Nintendo 3DS handheld game consoles. Further, the iPhone 4S’ ability to process 30 million polygons per second has been compared to the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 home video game consoles that can process 275 million and 500 million polygons per
second respectively.
CVG’s deputy editor Andy Robinson told TechRadar that the “[iPhone 4S] is certainly laying down some serious
credibility for the iPhone as a core gaming device. Not only is it now pushing out
games that simply eclipse the [Nintendo 3DS] visually, but features like cloud saving and TV streaming support are really exciting for
gamers.”
Senior Gaming Analyst at Jon Paddies Research Ted Pollack believes
the biggest improvement to gaming on the iPhone 4S is the voice control features, noting that “one of the
features that Nintendogs players loved was the ability to talk to it. There’s no reason why
a game like that couldn’t be done on the iPhone 4S, and much more sophisticated
given the voice control shown.”
Comparison between iPhone 4 antenna and iPhone 4S antenna
Improving on the external stainless steel, dual-antenna design of its
predecessor, the iPhone 4, Apple has redesigned the antenna in the iPhone 4S so that the
cellular radio in the phone can alternate between two antennas, depending on
which is sending/receiving the best signal. These two antennas form part of the
stainless steel band that covers the sides of the iPhone 4 and 4S.
The bands on the iPhone 4 are divided into four antennas, cellular, Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi. In both the iPhone 4 and 4S, the
cellular (GSM) antenna is divided into two. Therefore, if the iPhone 4S is
gripped in such a way as to attenuate one piece of the cellular antenna, the
radio will switch to the other piece that isn’t being gripped.
iPhone's 4s Inputs and outputs
Like the iPhone 4 the 3.5 inch 960 by 640 pixel Retina display supports multitouch, a technology that allows multiple simultaneous touch
inputs. Siri, a voice control feature exclusive to the iPhone 4S, interprets
voice commands and can give visual and auditory feedback. The iPhone 4S
has two volume buttons and a ring/silent switch on the left side.
On the top left there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the lock/power button is
situated on the top right edge of the device. The right side of the device
is devoid of inputs except for a SIM card slot. The bottom of the device
features a speaker output on the right and a microphone input on the left with
Apple's proprietary 30-pin dock connector in the center. The top left on
the back of the device houses an 8 megapixel f/2.4 aperture camera with an LED flash.
The iPhone 4S supports video out via AirPlay and various Apple A/V
cables. Supported video formats include such as H.264 (1080p 30 fps max.),
MPEG-4 video, and motion JPEG (M-JPEG).
In addition to user inputs, the device also has several sensors
that give the phone information about its orientation and external conditions.
These include a 3-axis gyro, an accelerometer, a proximity sensor, and an ambient
light sensor.
Operating System of iPhone 4s
iPhone 4S was announced with Apple’s iOS 5 operating system, which
Apple claims as having over 200 new features compared to the prior version. On
the 4S, the Apple A5 processor and iOS 5 work together to support many
subsystems of the device, such as data processing for the camera. Some major
tasks performed include browsing the internet with Safari, voice assistance with Siri, cellular communications, media playback, and applications.
It supports PC and Mac freedom, where updates can be downloaded
by over-the-air to the device. Another
feature is the ability to have Apple sends a real card in the mail with the
Apple Cards
application.
Processor, Memory, and Storage of iPhone 4s
The iPhone 4S has a dual-core Apple A5 processor, compared to the
one-core Apple A4 processor used in the iPhone 4. It has 512 MB of RAM, the same as its predecessor. Maximum available storage size
increased to 64 GB whilst the 32 GB and 16 GB model options were retained. The
screen is the same as the prior generation iPhones; 3.5 inch, 640×960
resolution (Apple's "retina" design).
The improvement in interactive multimedia applications was obvious
compared to its predecessor. However, applications that take more
advantage of the new specs will take time to be developed and released. In
one early review it scored 677 in a Geek bench benchmark speed test compared to 380 for the iPhone 4, higher being
better.
Camera of iPhone 4s
The iPhone 4s 5-megapixel camera
was already great, but it's about to get better. The iPhone 4S has an
8-megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, f/2.4 aperture lens, and a
backside-illuminated CMOS sensor that allows 73 percent more light than the
previous sensor and should deliver better low-light performance. A hybrid IR
filter is also onboard for better color accuracy. Apple also claims the new
camera performs 33 percent faster than the iPhone 4's camera, and the A5
processor has a built-in image processor that adds face detection and 26
percent better auto white balance.
Videos also get a boost with the
ability to shoot 1080p HD video clips at 30 frames per second and with video
stabilization. Yet, even with all the improvements, CNET digital imaging editor
Lori Grunin is quick to note that while the iPhone might have a killer camera,
it's no camera killer.
Design of iPhone 4s
An iPhone 3GS (top) compared to an iPhone 4S (bottom). The
3GS has a semi-curved back (like the iPhone 3G), while the 4S has a flat back (like the iPhone 4).
The iPhone 4S retains almost all of the same
design features as its predecessor, the iPhone 4. The front and back are both flat, the screen
being made of glass. There is a camera on the back and the sides are stainless steel with metal buttons. It keeps the 3.5 inch
(8.89 cm) screen of past iPhones with the "home" button at the
bottom.
The iPhone 4S
comes in two colors, black and white. It is an amalgamation of a hand-held
computer, cell-phone, GPS, digital/video camera, and music player into one
device, powered by a rechargeable 1432mAh lithium-polymer battery.
A version without
a camera has been released for the Singapore Army, where cameras have been
banned from army camps since 2007. The camera-less iPhones can be purchased by
anyone, not just army corps.
About iPhone 4s
The iPhone
4S is a touchscreen slate smartphone developed by Apple Inc. It is the fifth generation of the iPhone, a device
that combines a 3.5-inch (89 mm) touchscreen iPod, mobile phone, and
internet client. It retains the
exterior design of its predecessor, the iPhone 4,
but is host to a range of improved hardware specifications and software updates.
Integrated software and hardware
changes support the introduction of new user interface and functions by Apple,
including the voice recognizing and talking assistant called Siri,
personal computer independence, cloud-sourced data (iCloud) and an
improved camera system. A selection of the device's functions may be
voice-controlled.
The iPhone 4S was unveiled at Apple's
"Let's Talk iPhone" event on October 4, 2011 in Cupertino, California. Apple started taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4S on October 7, 2011 in
seven initial countries (United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom,
France, Germany and Japan) with the first delivery date set for October 14,
2011, and available on that same day for direct store sales in those countries.
It was released in 22 more European, American and Asian countries, including
Ireland, Mexico and Singapore on October 28.

What is Multimedia?
The use of computers to present text, graphics, video, animation, and sound in an integrated way. Long touted as the future revolution in computing, multimedia applications were, until the mid-90s, uncommon due to the expensive hardware required. With increases in performance and decreases in price, however, multimedia is now commonplace. Nearly all PCs are capable of displaying video, though the resolution available depends on the power of the computer's video adapter and CPU.
