The new iPhone 4S has an improved camera with a higher-resolution sensor. The processor is faster, which helps run smoother, more realistic action games. It’s also a “world phone,” which means that Verizon iPhones will be useable overseas, just as AT&T iPhones already are. Photo: AP
The new iPhone also comes with new mobile software that includes such features as the ability to sync content wirelessly, without having to plug the device to a Mac or Windows machine. Photo: AP
The iPhone announcement came during Apple’s first major product event in years without Steve Jobs presiding. New CEO Tim Cook led the show after Jobs, who has been battling health problems, resigned from the post in August. Photo: AP
Apple said the new phone will come in black or white. It will cost $199 for a 16 gigabyte version, $299 for 32 GB and $399 for 64 GB all with a two-year service contract requirement. Photo: AP
The event took place in Apple’s Town Hall room, where the first iPod was launched a decade ago. Mr. Cook said Apple has sold more than 300 million iPods worldwide so far, including 45 million in the 12 months through June. Photo: AP
