Apple releases new iPhone

Apple’s new iPhone 4S was announced yesterday. Amidst all the rumors for an iPhone 5, it turned out to be the 4S. Not much has changed on the eye, in fact nothing, however it is what’s under the lid that truly amazes people.

The 4S carries a 8MP camera on the back which is able to record full 1080p HD video’s, it has 8 hours of 3G enabled talk time (14 for those still rocking 2G). Of course it runs on iOS 5 and to keep the whole thing from freezing it has nothing less than a dual core A5 processor.

The War verges on

Not even 24 hours after the announcement of the iPhone 4S and Samsung has already made plans to block it in Italy and France. The reason: the iPhone 4s infringes two patents related to WCDMA standards within their 3G-devices. Samsung has also confirmed that they are planning to pursue in other countries.

“Apple has continued to flagrantly violate our intellectual property rights and free ride on our technology; we believe it is now necessary to take legal action to protect our innovation.”

Apple has yet to provide a counterstatement
