For an ultimate help guide to all things Apple iPhone 4S related, we look inside to see what\\\'s packed along with your new iPhone within our iPhone 4S unboxing, get a video rundown of the greatest iOS 5 features and 10 Things you can do first with your Iphone 4S. But that\\\'s not all, we now have also pulled together an Apple iPhone 4S vs Apple iPhone 4 video plus we have seen how the new Apple smartphone shapes against T3\\\'s Phone of the Year as we pit two giants against each other in our Apple iPhone 4S vs Samsung Galaxy S2 feature.

1. Processing On the exterior, it looks, feels and has the aroma of an iPhone 4. That\\\'s because it is. On the inside, however, is where the S magic really happens. The faster A5 processor makes operating these devices noticeably quicker when launching and re-launching apps so when using power-draining applications such as iMovie.

2. Design

The plain fact that it looks like an apple iphone 4 will be a hammer blow to those who have waited patiently for a freshly designed, potentially cooler-loooking iPhone 5. This tweet from @crossan_phil sums up: \\\"glad the 5 didn\\\'t come out. Gives me more time to make use of my 24mth contract with the 4!!\\\"

3. Gaming

The raised graphics are amazing. While the version we used did not have Infinity Blade 2 installed, we tried Real Racing 2 which, to us, looked smoother than our apple iphone 4 version. The keynote demo of Infinity Blade 2 was mind-blowing considering it was running on a bloomin\\\' phone. It wowed the room. A room full of cynical hacks. PSP Vita, eat your heart out.

4. 8-megapixel camera

The 8-megapixel camera shoots great photos (and macro shots). Although i was inside the Covent Garden Apple store with strip lighting a reflections-a- go-go, the resulting shots were nice and sharp, employing some of that new camera tech built into the iPhone 4S. However, the real star of the vision upgrade is...

5. 1080p video camera

The difference in quality is instantly noticeable. We were very impressed. Will it nail the coffin shut on the dwindling camcorder industry? It is a great upgrade whether or not you really need it. Well, cinema pirates might.

6. iOS 5

You all know what it\\\'s like, the 200 features it brings as well as the iCloud. However, getting on the job with Notifications, Newsstand, iMessage and Reminders demonstrated to us just how much of a step. up from the new ios 4 it is.

7. Price

Apple has announced basic level UK pricing of 499. We think this is for the 16Gb version, that could put the brand new 64Gb model in a whopping 699 ( going by the US pricing structure). We need to make sure though. Orange and T-Mobile have confirmed that they will be selling the iPhone 4S come October 14, presumably on a two-year contract.

8. Speech

Siri is the most interesting feature of the 4S. We asked it the weather in London, and then Bay area. We gave it a multiplication query. We asked who the best minister of the UK was. We asked it this is of life (\\\'to respond to questions like these\\\' was the retort). It answered all of them. Some of the replies were even funny. From a damn robot. Additionally, it got a few things wrong and that we think that, in a real-world environment encompassed by lots of noise, it may struggle. Especially as it is still in beta. We\\\'re getting excited about testing it further (watch this space). Our long-suffering partners, however, aren\\\'t.

9. Antenna

It is the big question for a lot of thinking of upgrading - will it still fall foul of the reported drop call/signal issue? Apple claims that switching between your dual antennas will improve call quality and reduce dropouts. We didn\\\'t have enough time to try this out, but are looking to putting might the 2x download speed claim to the test as soon as we possibly can.

10. Alternatives

Many smartphones already sport many of these features already. And for those who were hoping for a brand-new iPhone 5 today could now consider a top- drawer Android. They\\\'ll be cheaper, too. In your ultimate guide to all things Apple iPhone 4S related, we\\\'ve got an Apple iPhone 4S review, a look inside to see what\\\'s packed in with your new iPhone in our iPhone 4S unboxing, a video rundown of the greatest iOS 5 features and 10 Things you can do first with your iPhone 4S. But that is not all, we have also pulled together an iPhone 4S versus iPhone 4 video plus we have seen how the new Apple smartphone shapes against Phone of the Year as we pit the iPhone 4S from the Samsung Galaxy S2.
