California: Apple Inc's newest iPhone left Wall Street and fans wishing for more than a souped-up version of last year's device, igniting a rare storm of criticism and disappointment on the Internet.

 
Cook, who took over from Jobs in August, and his executive team showed off a device that comes with voice recognition and a better camera, but looks identical to the last phone and does little to lift the bar for smartphones.

While the gadget wasn't as tricked out as some had hoped, analysts liked its voice-enabling technology that helps users vocalize everything from stock price searches to sending messages -- more easily than on Android phones or Research in Motion Blackberries.

In some ways, Apple may have been a victim of its past success. Its launches are some of the hottest events on the tech calendar. Tuesday's "Let's talk iPhone" show marked Cook's unofficial debut since taking over from Jobs in August.

Analysts say it is more crucial than ever to sustain the popularity of its aging iPhone 4. Apple sold more than 20 million units in the third quarter ended June 25.

"It's kind of funny -- if they have gone and called it the 5, the stock would have been fine, but they're calling it the 4S, which is a disappointment to some," said WP Stewart portfolio manager Michael Walker.

The iPhone, which accounts for more than 40 percent of Apple's sales, has been a success since it came out in 2007, making Apple into one of the world's leading consumer electronics companies. - theStar

Since Apple revealed the so call Iphone 5 and now they named it Iphone 4s, so many complaints and criticism are flooding the social media networks be it Facebook, blogs or Twitter. I just don't understand, they must be a reason why they named it that way but still they incorporated much new stuff onto the new gadget.

Maybe the fans of Apple put too much expectations and hopes on the new gadget and that is why now, the latest model looks exactly the previous launched.

 

Here are the comparison between IP4 and IP4s

Why complaints?? If you don't feel this is the phone worth buying, then don't buy la. No one forcing you to buy it right? To some, maybe they thought that this is it. Where to those who complaints, maybe you'll complaint because you'll need to wait for another year for the who know will it still name it as IP5. Just wait nia lah!!
