In fact, Apple claims that the new phone is capable of an extra hour of talk time while on 3G. What the company is less vocal about is the fact that the phone has lost an hour of Wi-Fi browsing time. In my real world testing of the device, those numbers seemed to balance each other out, and overall I found the battery performance of the phone to be impressive. Even after a heavy day of use about 16 hours of making calls, browsing, downloading apps, syncing, listening to music, game playing, and more , I still had juice on the phone when I plugged it in before bed.
On the other hand, apps seemed to open a little bit faster, and the camera response time is noticeably improved. The biggest and probably most desired at least by more tech-savvy users is improved notifications. You can swipe towards the left of the screen on these messages to make them disappear.
Needless to say, this is a welcome change from older versions of the software. You can manage your notifications app-by-app, and touching one of the messages takes you to that application. Apple has also introduced notifications on the lock screen.
When an item appears on your list and the phone is locked, you can drag that specific notification across the screen to jump straight into the app. Samsung Android devices with TouchWiz do pretty much the same thing.

Messages were delivered almost instantaneously. Apple has also added some new applications to the mix. Reminders is a to-do list with some extra functionality, like the ability to set locations as triggers for alerts.
So you can tell the phone to remind you about something when you arrive or leave a specific location. The Reminders app also ties in nicely with Siri a lot more on that in just a bit. The company has also made tons of little nips and tucks all over other pieces of the OS. Twitter integration is now built-in, so you can Tweet links, photos, or videos without having to jump into the app.
The photos application has been updated to allow basic photo enhancement, red-eye reduction, and cropping. In a side-by-side comparison with the last generation iPhone, the 4S seems blazing. The new phone scored a Apple has also added its own take on Instapaper for the browser called "Reading List," which lets you save articles to read later in a cleaner text layout.
Finally and mercifully Apple has cut the cord on syncing by adding Wi-Fi syncing options that let you manage your phone almost entirely without a cable attached. As long as you have the latest version of iTunes, you can sync apps, music, video and settings over your local network without plugging in. You can also now set up a new device out of the box with nothing more than an internet connection.
The new software pieces are very welcome, but there are things about iOS that have begun to feel dated to me. That lack of glanceable information coupled with the delay of having to open an app to get information creates a feeling of disconnect for me that I find bothersome.
For the broad user base Apple wants to hit with these products, this will probably never be an issue. But I do think there are places in iOS 5 that still need work. The other, major new piece of software on the iPhone 4S and in this case, only on the 4S is Siri. Siri, as I said in the intro of this review, is something that Apple refers to as an "intelligent assistant," and is probably one of the most novel applications the company has ever produced.
Utilizing a combination of voice recognition, logic processing, and text-to-speech, the software can interpret requests and follow conversations. Through Siri, you can use natural language to get directions, send text messages, schedule reminders or appointments, get suggestions on where to eat, and lots more.
Siri can also process and answer basic and not-so-basic questions utilizing the WolframAlpha engine like, "how many cups are in a gallon" , and the software pulls in Yelp data to help you find things like restaurants or movie theaters. When in doubt, Siri will do a web search based on your questions. Humans Animals Plants. Furniture Fixtures Layouts Buildings. Transport Sports Digital Pop Culture.
