Apple Letdown

Today Apple announced their latest smartphone, the iPhone 4S. It's essentially an iPhone 4 with some different insides. It was a bit of a letdown to some though because there has been so much hype and talk about a totally new and redesigned iPhone 5 but that will have to wait until at least next year for that.

There had been hype about an all new iPhone for almost a year now with even leaked cases for the new iPhone 5 and talk of how much different it would look than the 4 but that's not going to happen right now. The 4S will not look any different but it will have an extremely fast processor, 8 megapixel camera, a battery that is suppose to last 8 hours of talk time on 3G and a new feature called Siri- a built in, voice activated virtual assistant.

What people were most hoping to get in the iPhone 5, didn't happen. No 4G capabilities, no bigger screen display and no change in the look of the phone at all. For those who had been expecting the iPhone 5 to be announced today, we can only think about what could have been. I had been so excited to be one of the first to have the iPhone 5, the 4S however is one that I more than likely won't be buying. I'm still holding out hope that they announce the iPhone 5 sometime in the summer of 2012.
