The iPhone 4S looks like the iPhone 4 , but there are a lot of differences under the hood. Hardware includes Apple’s dual-core A5 processor, superior graphics, and support for both GSM and CDMA networks. And to top it off, there’s Siri.

The iPhone 4S also has better cameras: 8 MP on the back and 0.9 MP on the front, up from 5 MP and 0.3 MP respectively. This was the first iPhone to support 1080p video recording and the first with Bluetooth 4.0 support.

Apple took orders for over 1 million units in its first 24 hours of pre-orders and sold 4 million during the first four days of retail sales.
