Over the years Apple have been very successful in launching new devices, like the iPhone 4, and making sure they get as many sales as possible.
On the 14th October Apple will launch the iPhone 5, also known as the iPhone 4S. They say that it has the new iOS5 system; an extended battery life, a new and improved camera, voice control and many more exciting new features.
Although the new iPhone 4S looks exactly the same as the iPhone 4, it is said to be much, much better. Many people thought that this new smartphone will have a bigger screen and will look much more different than its brother, the iPhone 4. Has Apple disappointed many people hoping to see something new? Has Apple made a MASSIVE mistake for the first time?
For the people that wish to have one, it costs a lot of money, £499!
Earlier on, there was a rumour that after the launch of the iPhone 4S, the previous version of the iPhone, the iPhone 4, will cost £122. Well it turns out that it was all too good to be true. A HUGE disappointment for a lot of people who were hoping to buy the best smartphone on Earth.
However, Samsung wants iPhone 4S banned in France and Italy. Why? Well, because Samsung claims that Apple have used the 3G wireless technology, which Samsung created themselves, without paying for it. A raging war between the rival companies has been going on in courts around the world for months. In a statement, Samsung said "Apple has continued to flagrantly violate our intellectual property rights and free ride on our technology, and we will steadfastly protect our intellectual property."
Because the 3G wireless technology is essential for the use of modern phones, Samsung has been demanded to licence this technology to other manufacturers under fair and reasonable terms.
So, while most of us wonder about the new iPhone 4S, some are very disappointed about the outcome of what was supposed to be the best iPhone yet. Have Apple underestimated what people really wanted? Or have we made a mistake in thinking that the new iPhone will be exactly the same as the previous one? Well, we'll just have to find out and see for ourselves if Apple has made what it claims to have.
