iPhone 5... or wait is it?


So it was announced today that iPhone "5" will not be called iPhone 5. Instead they are calling it iPhone4s. There is not any facial change on the phone. It will look exactly like the iPhone 4. Now the guts of it is where things have changed. The new iPhone4s will have dual-core A5 chip, which is built by Samsung.  Also the battery life has been improved on the new iPhone. You will get about 8 hours of talk time and about 40 hours of listening to music. Another disappointing feature is that there will be no 4G connection on the new iPhones. Instead it has  a new wireless system that can "intelligently switch" between its two antennas to "make even better call quality," Schiller said. So what the heck does that even mean?? It will use HSDPA.. and you aSK WHAT IS HSDPA?? "High-Speed Downlink Protocol Access. HSDPA is a protocol for mobile telephones. It is a third-generation (3G) High-Speed Packet Access technology designed to speed up network capacity and data transmission rate of cellular phones. Currently, HSDPA can support speeds ranging from 1.8 Mbps to 14.4 Mbps" which is not too bad.  To find out more about HSDPA click on the link.  iPhone 4s will also have upgraded camera to 8 megapixel. So this new iPhone will be able to take better videos and take faster pictures. They have not announced yet when iPhone 4s will be released or what provider will get it. 
Stay tuned.
