iPhone 4s Review

The iPhone 4s caught many by surprise, with Apple expected to release the iPhone 5. The iPhone 4s features a glut of top-end tech that is designed to put it on a par with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The camera of iPhone 4s has been upgraded to 8MP, the CPU is now the same dual-core A5 processor as seen in the iPad 2, and a seven time increase in graphical processing power. iPhone 4s is almost identical in outward design to the iPhone 4, which might irk those that like to show that they've got the most up to date device from Apple when out and about with friends.

Apple has slightly changed the design of the iPhone 4s somewhat though, by changing to a dual-band aerial design, making sure it doesn't encounter an embarrassing repeat of antenna-gate we had to endure with the iPhone 4. For all those that haven't seen the older version of the phone, we'll take you on a tour of the new handset: the top of the iPhone 4s houses the power/lock button, as well as the headphone jack, plus a microphone for noise cancellation.

The new system apes Android by using a drop down menu from pretty much anywhere in the phone to let you see all manner of updates, weather news and messages, plus new notifications will now ping across the top of the screen rather than plopping straight into the middle of the screen like before and disrupting whatever you were doing.

It's the most intuitive system on the market in our eyes - we're fans of the complexity of Android, but not everybody is a power user and for the person that wants a simple smartphone that's easy to pick up and start using, the iPhone 4s is one of the best.

iPod nano

The iPod nano will now feature larger icons that makes it even easier to use, thanks to the intuitive Multi-Touch user interface. Frankly, with a screen size that small, I don’t think there really is a need to have so many fingers dance all over the screen at once, but if it were to make life easier, why not? There is also a choice of 16 new digital clock faces to choose from to keep even the most fussy person happy, ranging from the classic analog all the way to Disney characters such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Fitness buffs who have long used the iPod nano to track their progress will be pleased to know that said device will be able to track your runs and walks the moment it is unboxed without the need for any more accessories, letting it keep a record of your time, pace and distance of your run, in addition to counting how many Big Macs you’ve earned as well as doubling up as a pedometer. There is even motivational real-time voice feedback when you run in 7 languages, but I think a group of girls with pom-poms might do better for some.

iPod nano - As for the iPod touch, it will now play nice with Apple’s new iOS 5 that will come with more than 200 new features such as iMessage, Game Center, Notifications and Wi-Fi Syncing to iTunes. With iMessage, you can send text messages, photos, videos and contact information to an individual or group as long as they too, run on other iOS 5-powered devices like the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

Last but not least, pricing is a concern to us all. The new iPod nano with Multi-Touch will start from $129 for the 8GB model and $20 more will net you double the memory, while the iPod touch will start from $199 onwards. iPod nano.
