Is the New iPhone 4s a Disappointment?

Last Tuesday Apple unveiled the new iPhone 4s & apparently rather disappointed many who were hoping for some decent technological advances.

Although not yet officially released, the biggest innovations & improvements are the fresh voice-command capability & vastly improved camera.

However, these are not enormous developments & may not warrant forking out lots of your hard-earned cash for this upgrade…

Apple does say the improved iPhone 4s will be available for use by networks in over 70 countries by 2012 and in truth that may be great for business users who travel extensively.

...and Apple's new voice-activated personal assistant software, they’ve name ‘Siri’ (where do they get these names?) may yet prove a hit among mobile users.

For the present however, if you've been waiting to try the iPhone platform, Apple just provided some inexpensive ways to do so - just, sadly, not with its newest phone.

So the jury really is out on this one and our view is that the increased cost of this latest version iPhone 4s may just put many people - other than real iPhone aficionados - off upgrading to this really quite disappointing release…
