Did I miss it, or is AnandTech not going to do a full iPhone 4S review?

I already own one, so I guess I shouldn't *really* care about a review, but I'm interested to see the benchmarks (especially battery life and, to a lesser extent, graphics).

all the tech elite said it was a crappy upgrade on the 4th and now have to eat crow that it's breaking all sales records

I think Anand is taking his sweet time with it, trying to provide as much information and benchmark as possible.

Yeah, nothing wrong with that. I'll look forward to reading it.

I've noticed that when it comes to some of the pop gears, like the iPhone or iPad, or Macbook Air, and so on, Anand does tend to spend a ludicrous amount of time with the device, and benchmark a ton of things.

If anything, when the review of the 4S comes out, I wouldn't be surprised to see benchmark graphs fill up at least 2 pages, and a bunch of analysis regarding camera quality, and speed, and battery life, and so on...

I approve and encourage taking the time to do a good job. I wouldn't go to AT every workday if were otherwise here.

i've been wondering about this as well, given the time, it must be a damn thorough report.

Nobody can accuse Anand et al of not being thorough. The Bulldozer review is 10 pages, and there's a five page one up on a power supply.

Yep, Anand is by far my favorite reviewer of any kind. Even though I have no intention of getting the 4S, I still look forward to his review.

thanks for the headsup mike

Siri’s voice recognition engine works pretty well out of the box, but also learns individual voice characteristics and dialects on a larger scale. This individually trained language data can optionally be reset as well by just toggling Siri off and back on. I trained Siri for about a week, reset the data, and went through a few commands - it’s obvious that it does tailor a voice profile after a while.

I guess it does learn your voice afterall.
