Apple iPhone 4S is the first phone with Bluetooth 4.0

A wave of discontent and disappointment in the company's fifth-generation Apple smart phone somehow got lost and went almost unnoticed is one important detail: this is the first smartphone equipped with a wireless module, Bluetooth 4.0, as, indeed, was supposed earlier. The latest version of the wireless protocol designed to exchange data over short distances, in real time, not a transcendent achievement, as compatible products are still scarce. However, in the short term, this decision could be crucial. So what makes this an indispensable Bluetooth 4.0?

The main advantage of Bluetooth 4.0 technology is a low power consumption BLE (Bluetooth low energy). This benefits primarily compatible devices that need to be constantly connected to the telephone to communicate. Previous versions of the protocol include too active power consumption and require frequent battery recharging themselves with mobile phones, but it is certainly not always convenient. More precisely, always uncomfortable.

Examples of such wireless peripherals are medical devices and sport: pedometers, heart rate sensors, sensors, blood sugar (blood glucose meters) and more. No less benefit Bluetooth 4.0 and for the most popular gadget in the segment - wireless headsets and headphones, which are also permanently connected to the phone. And, of course, not to mention about the range of the fourth-generation chips. In low-power mode it is 50 meters high and 100 m in normal mode. In this protocol Bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatible with older versions of the standard. Given that the manufacturers of accessories are very fond of innovative ideas Apple, in the foreseeable future we should expect an influx of wireless peripherals for Bluetooth 4.0.

iPhone 4S is equipped with 512 MB of memory, like the iPhone 4

An important feature of a smartphone that Apple passed over in silence during the presentation of the last iPhone, is the amount of memory. It seems that this was done because it remains the same - 512 MB (as much as the iPhone 4). This little detail shared creative director Donald Mustard Chair Entertainment (Donald Mustard), participated in the development of a demonstration Infinity Blade 2. In an interview with Eurogamer, he enthusiastically described the characteristics of the iPhone 4S the following words:

"I'm still shocked by this, with the iPhone 4 S, I, in fact, carry in a pocket camcorder with 1080 p, 8-megapixel camera, 64 GB hard drive, chip A5 and 512 MB ​​of RAM. It's a real powerful computer, right? "

Although the amount of 512 MB of RAM can be frustrating for someone to remember that exactly the same memory is equipped with tablet iPad 2, to which it is enough. However, if this is true, then the question arises: why Apple decided to offer its clients a universal voice aid Siri only on iPhone 4S, as it is officially announced. If the iPad 2 has the same (or even slightly higher) specifications that iPhone 4S, is there any reason to disable it Siri. Perhaps such a step is justified beta testing, followed by Siri get owners and other iOS5-aids?
