Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" event at Apple's Cupertino, Calif., headquarters may be remembered more for what it didn't have than what it did have. That would be no iPhone 5, which many people were expecting. Instead, what everyone thought would be branded the iPhone 5 was actually the iPhone 4S, which is a logical next step for the company. Based on Apple's new iOS 5 operating system, the iPhone 4S is a world phone, meaning it will run on GSM networks such as those offered by AT&T and CDMA networks operated by Verizon Wireless. Moreover, the device will be the first iPhone offered on Sprint, which will make a lot of customers happy. The device also has the A5 processor used in Apple's iPad 2. Apple also tweaked the camera considerably, offering an 8-megapixel shutter that has backside illumination. The camera also records 1080P HD video. Pre-orders for the iPhone 4S start Oct. 7 and the new phone will be available Oct. 14 in the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan. Check it out here!

iPhone 4S
After much chatter about iPod Touches, Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, teased the crowd with the iPhone 4S.
First Look
The handset features the same design as the existing iPhone 4, but this device is obviously different under the hood, with the new processor and other perks. It comes in white and black.
A5
Made by Samsung, the A5 processor is a dual-core chip that should help the iPhone keep pace with dual-core Android phones from Samsung, HTC and Motorola.
iOS 5
Packed in iOS 5's 200 new features is the Notification Center, which lets users view and manage notifications in one place without interruption, and iMessage, a messaging service that lets users send text messages, photos and videos between all iOS 5 users. iOS 5 will eventually be available as a free software update for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS customers.
iCloud
iPhone 4S works with iCloud, which includes iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream and Documents in the Cloud. These apps automatically store iPhone 4S users' content on the Web and push it to all of a user's other Apple devices. When content changes on one device, all of the other Apple devices are updated over the air.
Camera
The new and improve camera promises crisper, brighter pictures, thanks to the 8 megapixel sensor. Most high-end Android phones have 8 megapixel cameras.
Video
Video recording with the iPhone 4S is in 1080p, also keeping pace with existing Android phones.
Siriously
Apple is finally leveraging the assets from its Siri purchase in April 2010 to add a virtual personal assistant to iPhone 4S, which allow people to ask the phone questions and receive intelligent, well-crafted answers to such queries as "what is the weather like in San Francisco?" The device will also help users make calls, send text messages or email, schedule meetings and reminders, etc. Like Google Voice Actions, but smarter.
Pricing
Pricing for the iPhone remains as simple and clean as ever. The cheaper legacy models should easily win Apple new customers.
Availability
While the Oct. 14 launch of the new smartphone will be limited to a handful of countries, the iPhone 4S will roll out to the rest of the world Apple serves Dec. 1.
