As youve heard, its the number one smartphone in the world. People have been wondering, how do you follow up a hit product like the iPhone 4? The iPhone 4S.

Of course it starts with the Retina Display. But inside it is all new. The A5 chip is now making its way into the iPhone.

Dual-core CPU, 2x as fast at CPU tasks. Also dual-core graphics. Up to 7x faster in the previous iPhone. One area you really see it scream is in games.

Youd think if you put a CPU like that youd sacrifice battery life. Increased to 8 hours talk time, damn! Fantastic battery life.

Second, wireless system: Our engineering team has worked really hard to advance the state of the art thats never been done in a phone before. It can now intelligently switch between two antennas between send and receive to make even better call quality.

Data can now download up to 2x as fast. Theoretical max performance used to be 5.8 up and 7.2 down now doubles to almost 14.4Mbps down.

Where have I heard these numbers before? This is what our competitors call 4G the iPhone 4S is just as fast as all of these phones, even faster in real-world use.

Camera system. The iPhone 4 has already surpassed every other camera out there on photo sites. We set our sites on competing with many great point and shoot cameras.

Whats the new camera on the iPhone 4S like? It starts with an 8 megapixel sensor.

CMOS backside illuminated sensor gets 73% more light than the iPhone 4 sensor, and 1/3rd faster. On top of that, we place a high-end IR filter for greater accuracy and uniformity.

We have an amazing lens system, five lens elements. Its now a really wide f2.4. Compared to most point and shoots we can let in a lot of light.

Oh, and Phil almost forgot to tell us about the Apple designed ISP, which enables stuff like face-detection and auto-white balance. And that chip takes super fast photos. What do we mean?

Other phones take 2-3x longer to shoot. What do Droid Bionic customers have to do between taking pictures? Get coffee? Yaburnt.

Next: video recording. We take stunning Hd video, and for the first time, 1080p video.

1080p, real-time video image stabilization (yes!), real-time temporal noise reduction.

We left one thing out. Its a feature all about our voice.

For decades technologists have teased us with this dream that we can talk to our technology. But its never come true! Its such a let-down! What we really want to do is just talk to our device!

Siri: the intelligent assistant to get things done just by asking.

Whats the weather like today? Siri gives the forecast.

Scotts asking Siri all kinds of stuff. Find me a great Greek restaurant in Palo Alto. Ive found five Greek restaurants, and Ive sorted them by rating. Scott: Ive been in the AI field a long time. This blows me away.

With Siri, you can just ask Siri to read your messages to you. Siri reads the messages in your notification queue, hands-free. Nice.

Scott just set up a meeting with Phil on Friday by voice alone. This is blow-away. I just checked my calendar, scheduled a meeting, and got it all read back by Siri.

Instant Wikipedia and Wolfram Alpha searches by voice. Now, to define a word, its as easy as asking Siri. Define mitosis. And Siri delivers results. Just ask your personal assistant, Siri.

Hes asking how long until Christmas. Siri: 82 days. Scott: Get shopping!

Compose and dictate email right to Siri. Set timers. Look up contacts, create notes, search the web, search Wikipedia. Its absolutely blow-away. Well, who is Siri? Just ask! Siri: I am a humble personal assistant.

Demo over, Phils back. Thanks Scott, that is the coolest feature of the iPhone 4S. Siri does dictation now whenever you see a keyboard, youll see a microphone. Talk to Siri, tap done, and in the blink of an eye it comes back with your text. Speak with your natural language.

Itll be built-in with support for English, French, and German. It will be beta at the start; by beta we mean well add more languages and services over time.

And now you understand all the great new stuff inside the iPhone 4S. A5, new antenna system, new optics, HD video, and now Siri.

I will say, Im pretty impressed theyve nailed the worldphone aspect here in the same size device. Thats a really challenging thing to do from an antenna design standpoint, and few have ever done this kind of thing before.

Phil: So thats the iPhone 4S. Black and white, 16GB for $199, 32GB for $299, and 64GB for $399. 64GB is the first time in an iPhone.

The iPhone 4S is not the only phone in our lineup. The iPhone 4 will now be available in Black and white for just $99. Thei phone 3GS in 8GB: free.

Pre-orders on the October 7th, and then launching on the 14th.

This will be the fastest iPhone rollout weve ever had. Thats the iPhone 4S. Thank you.

I heard there was going to be an iPhone 4S and an iPhone5. Cool but a little disappointing.
