Last tuesday, just two days before the death of the legend Steve Jobs, Apple launched iPhone 4S which was definitely not even at par to the expectations of the customers. Actually Apple had to release iPhone 5 but since certain features could not be achieved by then, so Apple had to end up releasing iPhone 4S.
Though, iPhone 4S featured some important specs attributed to the imaginary iPhone 5, like 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU, an Apple A5 chipset and an 8-megapixel camera. It also had features like a 3.5-inch TFT Retina multi-touch display and is loaded with the latest Apple operating system iOS 5. But at the same time it lagged on features like edge-to-edge design, larger display, 4G LTE and NFC. Responding to these feature limitations, Apple shares responded to the Tuesday announcement of iPhone 4S and stocks lost 5 per cent though it recouped some losses later on.
But at the same time, one event took place that was the death of the man behind iPhone - Steve Jobs. And as its aftermath, iPhone 4S sales started rising from day 3, that is after Steve's death news. As per the present scenario, tech Web sites are predicting that Apple's fifth generation smartphone will become its fastest-selling device ever. This was exactly not the kind of reception the iPhone 4S announcement got on Oct. 4. When pre-orders started, iPhone 4S showed its massive sales potential and is now poised to become the biggest launch day success story from Apple. As per AT&T, there has already been 200,000 iPhone 4S advance orders, raising the prospect of iPhone 4S shattering all previous sales records at Apple. iPhone 4s is scheduled to start delivering from 14th this month.
