iPhone 4S vs. iPhone 4: How They Compare (INFOGRAPHIC)

On Tuesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a new addition to the iDevice stable: The iPhone 4S. While rumors about the 4S had been swirling for days, they were nowhere near as rampant as those about the fabled the iPhone 5, which wasn't mentioned during Apple's keynote event.

Speculation about the 4S was mainly centered around it being a cheaper version of the iPhone 4, but this proved false on Tuesday. Instead, the iPhone 4 has dropped to $99 for the 8GB version, while the iPhone 4S is featured at higher price points for its three configurations.

Those who expected Apple to announce a completely redesigned iPhone 5 will have to settle for a device that's physically identical to its predecessor. While many may feel disappointed by the iPhone 4S, the new device does boast some marked improvements over the iPhone 4, such as voice control, airplay mirroring and an improved camera.

Check out our infographic (below), which pits the iPhone 4S against its predecessor. Is the new iPhone worth the hype, or is it a big letdown?

HP you guys really need to get it together- there is no 8gb iPhone 4! There is only the 16gb and the 32 gb with price points of $199 and $299.

But it has not been released yet. So why are they comparing two phones that haven't been released yet? You have to compare apples to apples.

According to Apple one is vastly superior to the other...that's all we need to know, I guess.

To answer the question at the end...I don't think so. This is a good upgrade for those who haven't bought 4 yet. S = what we should have done last June/hush, hush now. Enjoy this while we work on 5.
