Apple iPhone 4S: Keynote Review

2011-10-04
what's up guys it's Lew here and I'm about to tell you everything that you need to know about the new iPhone 4s believe it or not there was a ton of hype probably too much hype because this device is probably more similar to the iPhone 4 than it is to say an iPhone 5 that people were predicting we might get today so first and foremost the price you're gonna see the same price point as the previous generation and you're going to see a price drop on the older generation so the iPhone 4 as it was will still be sold but now it'll be at $99 along with a carrier contract instead of the previous one $1.99 but you're gonna see a slight hit in the storage you're gonna have 8 gigabytes of storage instead of 16 now you're getting a new processor so internally I suppose you could say this one is significantly different the new processor claims to be quite a bit faster better graphics performance etc they're calling it the Apple a5 instead of the a4 which makes sense the new incarnation of course the next thing is a much better camera from watching the live blog and taking a look at some of the technology there they've added a few extra megapixels but then you've also got an improvement in the sensitivity of the sensor so you've got an 8 megapixel camera now instead of the previous 5 and very excited to see results of that once this thing actually hits next we've got an improvement in video performance of that same camera it's gonna be able to shoot at 1080p instead of 720p it'll do so at 30 frames per second and you know Apple has said in their in their keynote that they're really going after the camera market they're not worried about necessarily being the best camera on a smartphone but that they think this new camera can really compete against proper pointed shoots will we'll have to wait and see if that's the truth the next thing that is actually kind of surprising is that this one is actually a little bit heavier than the previous model and some have suggested that's because this one is a legitimate world phone it's got both gsm and cdma antennas in it internally so pretty cool stuff most of what the the other things that got mentioned in the keynote we're relating to software improvements in iOS 5 that being the new operating system but I'm not really going to cover those in this particular video only because most of those features and functions are going to be available to people on the older hardware so really all that we've seen in some very minor tweaks to the hardware nothing you know shattering and so you know I guess if you were sitting around waiting for some major announcement some major iPhone 5 redesign etc then this might be disappointing to you but Apple does have a point in saying that the iPhone 4 is incredibly successful and it does do many things right they've also claimed to you know fix that antenna issue it was supposedly widespread I've met people who have experienced the issue and others who haven't you know it's sort of up in the air no pun intended but they claim to have improved it by allowing for antenna switching so that the antenna can pick between which and antenna has better reception so if one happens to be covered by your hand then automatically the phone will select the other antenna as far as as far as trying to receive signals so pretty cool stuff but I gotta say I'm a little bit underwhelmed but you don't have to worry I'm gonna pick up this phone anyways it's gonna be featured here on the channel so definitely you're gonna want to hit that subscribe button up above I'll put an annotation over here too because the day that it hits the moment that it comes out I'll be with you the whole way and I'll give you the highest quality unboxing review and comparison that is humanly possible so anyway guys as always thanks for watching and I hope you stick around the channel I hope you subscribe as I said I got a lot of coverage on this phone coming up we can find out if it is as underwhelming as it seems at the moment or if this new processor is seriously a big improvement alright guys see you later
