Mobile operators in Brazil are preparing for one of the major releases of the year. The iPhone 4S, the latest smartphone from Apple arrived in stores late on Thursday (15). The sale will take place from 22h at some point and all the shops open from midnight.
Prices vary according to the plan of each operator. In TIM, the iPhone 4S prepaid 16 GB will cost $ 1899. The 32 GB version will sell for $ 2199. The 64 GB, U.S. $ 2499. On Hi, the price of prepaid starts at $ 1999. The course disclosed only the value attached to a postpaid plan of $ 220 per month: £ 1299, for the simple version. Already Vivo still did not give details of prices.
Another novelty is that the Apple online store in Brazil will sell the phone unlocked. It is the first time this happens. Before, only the iPad, Apple tablet, was sold directly to the company’s online store unlocked.
A week before the launch, we received an iPhone for testing 4S in writing. On the outside, the change is imperceptible compared to the iPhone 4. The same finish all-glass, with the steel side. He has only one physical button, located on the underside. The screen size of 3.5 inches, is also the same.
Looking internally, the iPhone has gained many new 4S. Let’s start with the camera. The new camera has 8 MP photos and records video in HD resolution. The picture quality and shutter speed are impressive and well above the already efficient iPhone camera 4. This can have a quick explanation, since the navigation device as a whole has become more agile. The iPhone 4S A5 comes with the processor, the same used by the iPad 2 and one of the fastest among current smartphones.
Another innovation is the virtual assistant, named Siri. The Crab is the name of an artificial intelligence system that Apple launched along with the system iOS5, latest software for iPods, iPhones and Apple iPad. It performs more complex tasks through a voice command from the user. The Siri has been disabled for appliances in Brazil. The reason is that, although intelligent, she has not learned to speak Portuguese fluently. Who want to risk English, French or German can enable it in the general settings.
In the tests we did, we can say that Siri was very good in most basic tasks. It records names in the schedule attached to people with whom you live longer, as relatives and friends. Just say “call my mother,” she once ask what is the name of his mother. Since then every time you say the phrase, it will connect directly to your mother. Or, “Send a message to my girlfriend saying he’ll get a little late.” The Siri then opens the field of SMS, who you said is the first time as his girlfriend and enters the “late.” Important: if you change your girlfriend, Siri is good advise to avoid statements to the wrong recipient.
It was also great as a desperado. “Siri, wake me up at 8 am.” At eight in the morning, without fail, your alarm clock rings. If you want to give that burnt to a crisp, just say, even in a sleepy voice, “I wake up 15 minutes from now.” And it fulfills its duty. Finally, we can mention the use of reminders. “Siri, I remember tonight I have to pay the rent.” It should fail. Problems exist. You need to speak the language well, otherwise she’ll apologize and deny the charge. What is nonetheless a form of language training.
Recalling that the iPhone 4S comes with iCloud, virtual backup service from Apple. All photos you take, for example, are stored on a server for a month. You can access them from your computer or any other device connected to the Apple iCloud.
And for those who do not have any iPhone and do not want to pay the price of 4S, it’s tip: the iPhone 4 will continue to be sold for a lower price. The unlocked, will cost $ 1599.
