The iPhone 4S has just been released, and excitement for the Apple's line of smartphones is at an all-time high. These devices are highly sought after and extremely difficult to find, mainly due to how many purposes they can be adapted to.

These devices are more than just simple cellphones; the iPhone 4S is actually resembles a laptop more than it resembles traditional phones.

These devices can help users to accomplish a variety of tasks, such as searching for car insurance discounts, finding a restaurant, checking the weather, or even finding local insurance providers.

For users lucky enough to have already gotten one, these phones are packed with loads of new features. Here are some of the options available to users who are looking to get the most out of their new iPhone 4S.

Use Existing Accessories

One of the biggest benefits that iPhone 4S owners will enjoy is that they won't need to buy new accessories specifically made for the 4S. Because the iPhone 4S has the same shape as the iPhone 4, owners will be able to choose from the wide range of accessories that are already on the market.

Here's a list of some of the options that 4S owners will have to pick from:
  • Snap-On Faceplates: These plastic shells fit right on the front of the iPhone 4S and protect it from scratching. These faceplates also come in a wide variety of designs, allowing users to express their individuality by customizing their phones appearance. Users can pick from assorted colors as well patterns such as hearts, flames, or stripes.
  • Hands-free Bluetooth Headsets: One of the biggest improvements in the iPhone 4S is the inclusion of Siri, a digital assistant that users interact with by speaking into their phone. With a hands-free kit, users can interact with Siri even while driving, allowing them to access useful traffic, weather or navigational information.
  • Car Chargers: Although many aspects of the iPhone 4S were improved, the battery life still leaves much to be desired. Owners should definitely invest in one of the many car charger kits available for their 4S.

Store Digital Content With iCloud Storage

Apple's iTunes store is one of the most popular ways for listeners to purchase new music, and the iPhone 4S lets users take advantage of the iTunes store like never before.

The main way it accomplishes this is with the addition of Apple's new iCloud service. This is a service that all users will receive free of charge whenever they make a purchase on iTunes and doesn't require any configuration.

What this service essentially does is to allow users to remotely store their documents on Apple's servers.

Even though the iPhone 4S has limited physical storage space, users that take advantage of the iCloud service can increase their storage capacity by over 8 gigabytes.

Get Help With Siri

Siri is Apple's new program that comes pre-loaded on every iPhone 4S. This revolutionary new program can intelligently analyze a user's spoken instructions and perform a variety of operations for him or her.

The user can even ask Siri questions and have the program intelligently respond. For example, a very basic use of Siri would be to tell the program "Remind me to pick up my dry-cleaning."

Siri would then ask the user what time they plan on leaving work and automatically schedule a message to play at that time. Another possible use for Siri would be to ask it to send a text message to a friend to let them know you are running late.

Siri would then ask the user what they would like the text message to say and then send it for them.

Run Apps Faster With The A5 Processor

The iPhone 4S comes equipped with Apple's new A5 processor. This new CPU will allow the phone to run apps faster than ever, allowing users to increase their productivity.

Additionally, the increased power that this CPU offers should allow app developers to release even more impressive games and applications for the phone.

The A5 dual-core chip is twice as powerful as its predecessor and will provide users with graphics that are seven times faster than the iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4S is an impressive piece of hardware, and users should enjoy trying to take advantage of all it has to offer.

The ability to customize the phone's appearance is an added bonus, and the addition of new features like cloud computing and Siri should set the phone apart from other smartphones.

Currently, the difficult part about the iPhone 4S is actually finding a store that has them in stock.
