Apple has just now released a very important press conference saying that I Phone 4 S has sold 4 Million handsets. When Apple launched the iPhone 4 last year, it sold a whooping 1.7 million in the first three days making it the fastest selling gadget ever. Now I phone 4 S has easily overtaken that and that too by a huge margin. Cherry on the cake was the fact that 25 million people upgraded to iOS 5 in the same time period. We can only think how much higher that 4 million units could have been if Apple launched the iPhone 4S in more countries. At the Launch on 14 th October It was available only in in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the UK. On the 28Th of this month that list will grow by 22 more countries including Austria, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, , Spain and Sweden. By the end of this year Apple hopes to have the iPhone 4S on sale in more than 70 countries.
Before its launch, It was seen as a Let down by many technophiles and bloggers. It looks exactly the same as the previous model that shipped more than one year ago, and everyone in Media was seeing it as a potential failure from apple. But the iPhone 4S has really proven everyone in the media wrong. But anticipation of its "Siri" voice software helped it to create this record. Siri is your personal assistant on your I phone that you interact with using casual and natural language. It is the most advanced such software to be ever build and thus creating such a hype. It also boasts of a New 5 element 8 mega pixel camera for sharper pictures and also supports HD recording at 1080p. It will also have two antennas providing better reception and also support both CDMA and GSM networks. It also implements Faster dual core A 5 processor almost twice as fast as that of I phone 4. I Phone 4 S is making developers increase their focus towards gaming. Rockstar's upcoming Grand Theft Auto III port will only work on a I Phone 4S (or iPad 2) due to intensive 3 D rendering. Firemint's Real Racing 2 offers considerably enhanced graphics and wireless 720p video output when played on a 4S than on a I phone 4.
So Apple does it again. Even after Steve Job's Death Apple is continuing on it path of providing Innovative products. I Phone 4 S, even though shown thumbs down by media had online tech bloggers for just a temporary bridge between I phone 4 and I phone 5 has created record Buzz and sales. Lets see what apple has up its sleeve when it launches I phone 5. Till then we have I phone 4 S with Siri.The real fun would be Apple vs Google battle when next version of the Android phone comes- Samsung Nexus Prime with new Android OS - Ice Cream Sandwich or just Android 4 on October 19
