Cool Features
In this new iphone we have our first beta upgrade know as Siri the office assistant using intelligent voice detection on the new devices, the skinny is you ask it a question and it tells you the answer.
-Whats the weather…84 degrees in Modesto California
-Where can I get some italian food…down the street at Rosattis at 123 Main st. or here our your choices and it provides a list(you can then get directions)
-Schedule an appointment with Bob on the 24th of August 2012 at 9am..Apointment scheduled on the 24th of August 2012 at 9am with Bob
and so on, you get the gist. It does however do dictation as well so you can text while you drive(like you dont do it already). I would however double check what it types, I have gone to damnyouautocorrect.com and I would really like to avoid a mistake like that.
*Post will be updated with new features on IOS5 and iphone 4s later, wanted to get out the meat of the updates first.

The first two pictures are not the iPhone 4S. They are the AT&T iPhone 4. The 4S has antenna breaks like the Verizon iPhone 4.

I’m curious if Siri will work over EDGE access on T-Mobile.

I don’t understand what is the big fuss over android…I have tried it and found iphone to be much easier to use…and those who live in a basement; twitter and facebook is not a life…so get a life..get out of that junk world.

Did anyone notice the Wi-Fi specs? The 802.11 n Wi-Fi connection is evidently at 2.4 GHz ONLY. WTH?
Even the original iPad would access Wi-Fi at either 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz. Why would Apple limit the 4S in this way?
