If you weren’t already aware, Apple have today announced the next generation iPhone, the iPhone 4S.
The general reaction has so far been pretty underwhelming. The new iPhone will be significantly more powerful than previous versions, the camera has been improved and the Siri assistant software looks pretty cool, but there’s no NFC capability, meaning that those types of contactless payments are probably not coming to the iPhone in the near future. The design of the phone also remains the same as the iPhone 4.
Regardless of the somewhat disappointing launch, there’s bound to be many current iPhone owners who will want to upgrade to the new phone that’s available on 12th October.
