Bleeding Edge TV 400: Apple iPhone 4S
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Podcasts, Product Reviews, Videocasts, Videos,
We give you a look at the white AT&T iPhone 4S, along with the black Verizon iPhone 4S in this episode. As you can see, if you're familiar with the iPhone 4, Apple made some subtle changes in the design of the iPhone 4S, most notably in the antenna, which now has a slick dual-action function. The Verizon model also picks up a SIM card slot, making it (and the others) a world phone device. We also show you the included accessories that Apple throws in as well. Be sure to check out our full iPhone 4S review, and iPhone 4S unboxing gallery as well.

The first iPhone 4S commercial by Apple has hit the airwaves, and unsurprisingly, it focuses on Siri. I've gotta say, watching the video, Siri can do some things that I'd never think to ask. Nice.

iPhone 4S review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Features, Handhelds, Product Reviews,
After over a year, Apple has released the follow-up to the iPhone 4, and its called the iPhone 4S. What do you do with your phone? If you're like most Americans, you make some calls, take some photos, and send some texts. Maybe you kill time with some games, check Facebook or Twitter, and look things up on the Web. If that's you, then the iPhone 4S ($199-$399 with contract on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T) is your phone: it's the best cameraphone in the US, the fastest Web-browsing phone, and one that has finally licked the iPhone's calling problems. It's so good, that it's our current Editors' Choice on Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T.

Apple sells 4 million iPhone 4S units on first weekend
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Handhelds,
You know how all the tech pundits out there kept calling the Apple iPhone 4S an "underwhelming" upgrade? Well, it turns out that those in the real world were actually pretty stoked about it. Apple sold 4 million iPhone 4S smartphones in the first weekend of availability, doubling what they did with the iPhone 4 when it was released. That number is just mind-boggling, and there's no other smartphone out there that has even come close. AT&T let it be known that they activated twice as many iPhones during the iPhone 4S launch as they did with the iPhone 4, shattering their one-day record. Sprint, carrying the iPhone for the first time, said that the iPhone 4S broke its single-day sales record of any single device, ever. All this after selling over 1 million iPhone 4S preorders in 24 hours.
So, yeah, we guess it's not so underwhelming, despite what the pundits will tell ya.
