iPhone 4S Camera Review

When Apple unveiled the new iPhone 4S, one of the new features they took the time to exhibit was the newly improved camera. And temporal noise reduction helps you take great videos in low light. So night’s not too dark and candles look like candles. And you’ll see faces, places, and significant details.

The iPhone 4S camera has been completely redesigned on the inside, so everything you shoot outside looks better than you remember.

Sporting 8 mega pixels worth of, well, pixels, the new shooter is also capable of capturing 1080p video, an improvement over the already remarkable 720p, 5 mega pixel camera in the iPhone 4. The advanced backside illumination sensor and larger aperture let in even more light. Improved auto white balance makes color even more accurate.

Steve Jobs Worked On Apple’s ‘Next Product’ Until His Last Day [VIDEO REPORT]

You may remember the news about Steve Jobs’ last project not being the iPhone 4S but instead being, possibly, the next iPhone 5. Well it has been confirmed that Steve worked on that project all the way until the day before he died.

During a meeting on the day of the launch for the iPhone 4S between Apple partner and CEO of Softbank Masayoshi Son and Tim Cook, Cook had to excuse himself from the meeting after a phone call. Son stated the following:

He [Tim Cook] said that Steve is calling me because he wants to talk about their next product. And the next day, he died.

Regardless of how you feel about Apple products, this should inspire all of us to chase what we love so much. If Steve didn’t care so much about Apple and their customers, he would have taken leave from work weeks, if not months before his departure. And rightfully so! He knew, and so did everyone else, that his time left on this planet was very slim. Jobs knew that he had unfinished business and dedicated his days to influencing the next device from Apple. At this point, we expect it to a newly revamped fifth-generation iPhone but with how tight lipped Apple is about their products, we won’t really know until closer to the release date.

Steve died due to an unfortunate illness, the cause of death however as noted by his death certificate is; respiratory arrest caused by a pancreatic tumor. Today Cupertino Headquarters is holding a special ceremony for Steve. Apple stores outside of Cupertino are also reportedly closing for three hours to participate in the tribute to the man who had so much drive and influence in the technology community. You can visit the Apple site dedicated to Steve here and read individual contributions from around the world from people whom Steve inspired. If you feel like these many people who have already shared their feelings, you can also send in some thoughts of your own.

You can see a scrolling wall of personal thoughts shared by those who cared for Apple almost as much as Jobs himself. Steve was the definition of a role model and Apple is set on keeping his legacy alive.

Apple says that “over a million people” have sent messages commemorating Jobs so far, and encourages people to continue sending more in to the email address dedicated to the purpose.

Why Apple spends only 2 percent of its Money on R&D of Products

Apple is filthy rich. It sold four million phones in three days. It’s worth more than Exxon. It’s got a staggering stockpile of cash, just sitting around. So why does it spend merely 2.2 percent of revenue on cooking concepts?

ZDNet reports Apple’s R&D funding is miles behind competitors like Google and Microsoft, who doled out 14 and 13 percent of their revenues to internal labs, respectively. So why the gap? Apple’s 2.2 percent marks a ten year low. Even with a commanding presence in the smartphone game, and complete dominance among tablets, why wouldn’t Apple spend more on ideas?

There’s more here than it seems. First, Apple’s R&D spending is actually increasing—it’s just that its massive cash-raking is outpacing its research as a portion of the whole.

Steve Wozniak is first in line for iPhone 4S

A line began to form at the Apple Store here on the eve of the iPhone 4S release, as is often the case around the world during the company’s product launches.

At the front of this particular line Thursday, Steve Wozniak sits in a Pico armchair, sipping Diet Dr Pepper and scanning e-mails from his white iPad.

The Apple co-founder, who gets a pay check of “a couple hundred dollars every two weeks” and still maintains his status as employee No. 1 in company records, hasn’t been able to stay put for long. Crowds of Apple fans, family friends and people who have seen him riding his Segway around the neighbourhood stop to say hi, take pictures and ask for his autograph.

“I’ll be taking a thousand pictures,” Wozniak whispered with a smile. “I’m going to sit down and see if I can get a little e-mail done, because there’s no way I’m going to get it all done today.”

iPhone 4S Reviews from the Web

The initial reaction to the announcement of the iPhone 4S was muted somehow. First there’s that name: It’s the old phone’s name with an S attached to it. As the iPhone 3GS taught us, adding an S to an iPhone’s name can represent numerous under-the-hood improvements, but it doesn’t send shivers down your spine like incrementing a number by one and unveiling a redesigned exterior with mind-blowing features that may or may not include anti-gravity.

Now here comes the iPhone 4S, which is more of a good thing: It takes the successful look of the iPhone 4 and tosses in a dual-core processor for dramatically improved speed, an upgraded camera, and some brand-new voice-command technologies in the form of Siri which is getting acclaimed response from the reviewers across the world.

With Time Running Short, Jobs Managed His Farewells – Did he plan it also?

I don’t know but I had this feeling ever since I came to know about Steve’s death, that he would have done something special at his death bed as well. And it looks like he did. No person in this world would want to be in a situation where Steve was. Near to your family and friends and you know that you are not there for long time. Telling them everthing that you never told them ever in the last days, when days pass by like the day did not have 24 hours. I miss you Steve. Thank you for everything. You’ll be my greatest idol ever.

Where were You?

I was sitting on an uncomfortable wooden stool in an Apple Store, holding my iPhone. My butt was hurting.

I had gone all the way up to the Upper West Side Apple Store to get my dented, scratched, stained three-year-old MacBook Pro—one of the unibodies where you can still swap the battery—fixed for like the 6th or 7th time. The logic board was dying, again. The optical drive was dead, again. I think the display was going bad too. And the trackpad was getting wonky. I had a few days left on Apple Care.

I love you Steve

I wanted to see/meet you in person once in my life but I think that day would never come now. I was busy playing game today when news of your death was broken to me by my wife. For a moment I could not think about anything at all and I was in shock. New iPhone 4S launch yesterday already missed you. And now, I don’t know what is going to happen to Apple and its product now in your absence.
