The iPhone 4S is physically identical to the Apple iPhone 4, with the major changes happening inside the device. Apple’s dual-core A5 processor promised up to twice the speed of its predecessor, along with graphics performance that was said to be up to seven times faster.
One of the standout features of the iPhone 4S was its built-in voice assistant, Siri. Siri allowed users to place calls, send messages, schedule meetings, set reminders, and handle a range of everyday tasks through voice commands.
The iPhone 4S was set to launch in the U.S. through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint on October 14, with broader international availability planned before the end of the year.
