Apple is holding their annual iPhone event next Tuesday, the 4th of October, where we are expecting to see the new iPhone 5. Additionally, there have been rumors circulating about a new iPhone 4S model.
Now, the guys over at Gizmodo have obtained some exclusive photos of the iPhone 4S. These photos come from inside Foxconn’s factory in Brazil, and the iPhone 4S features a different model number than we have seen previously, labeled as N90A.
The iPhone 4S in the photos appears to have been rejected as they didn’t meet Apple’s manufacturing standards. However, it does look like this is confirmation that Apple will launch two models next week: the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.
What to Expect from the iPhone 4S
The iPhone 4S is expected to be a more affordable version of the iPhone, aimed at capturing a broader market segment. The model number N90A suggests that it might have some internal differences compared to the iPhone 4, possibly in terms of hardware components or manufacturing processes. This could mean a slightly different performance profile or even some cost-saving measures that allow Apple to offer it at a lower price point.
The iPhone 4S is also rumored to come with iOS 5 pre-installed, which includes a host of new features such as improved notifications, iMessage, and Newsstand. One of the most talked-about features is Siri, Apple’s new virtual voice-activated assistant, which promises to revolutionize the way users interact with their devices.
Anticipation for the iPhone 5
On the other hand, the iPhone 5 is expected to be a significant upgrade over the iPhone 4. Rumors suggest it will feature a larger screen, a faster processor, and possibly even 4G LTE capabilities. The design is also expected to be sleeker and more modern, aligning with Apple’s tradition of pushing the envelope in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.
The dual launch strategy could be a smart move by Apple, allowing them to cater to both high-end consumers looking for the latest technology and more budget-conscious buyers who still want a premium smartphone experience. This approach could help Apple maintain its competitive edge in an increasingly crowded smartphone market.
