   Monday, Apple announced that it had sold over 4 million iPhones which is an 135% increase over the previous iPhone 4 model. This was better than analysists had predicted, most analysists projected around little over 3 million was to be the number sold by now. The features included with the iPhone 4S have been a highly effective marketing feature, the biggest of which is Siri. Siri is a virtual assistant that helps you set up appointments as well as remind you to do things. Siri will also literally text via voice recognition. Other features such as the iCloud and other iOS 5 features are available for iPhone 4 users to upgrade to, however the iPhone 4S brings more to the table. Besides Siri, the iPhone 4S also has the dual cored A5 processor, making it the fastest iOS 5 3g capable device. The iPhone 4S also is capable of switching antenna sides for better reception, a problem that was prevalent with the iPhone 4.  The iPhone 4S comes in 3 models both available in either black or white for a suggested retail price of $199 for the 16GB model, $299 (US) for the 32GB model and $399  for the new 64GB model. The carriers are: AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. Branching out to Sprint and making the iPhone international has helped the numbers grow as evident in the statistics.

  This is important information because even after Steve Jobs passed away, this proves to shareholders that the company is still worth value. Many thought the company would suffer in sales from the passing of Mr. Jobs, however this does not seem to be the case. The iPhone is also currently being utilized as an option for smartphones by the US military. I am also a current iPhone 4 user and have upgraded my phone to iOS 5 which comes standard with the iPhone 4S and I must say with the features includeds and the upgraded hardware I am not surprised the iPhone 4S is selling so well.
