Apple iPhone 4S disappointment?

New iPhone Features

Apple Inc. has unveiled a new, faster version of the iPhone 4 that takes voice commands. The iPhone 4S will contain a dual-core A5 chip, the same one that powers the iPad 2, which will make it seven times faster than the original iPhone 4, the company announced Tuesday at an event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. A key new feature touted by Apple executives is an "intelligent assistant" called "Siri" that uses voice recognition to answer questions and pull up an appropriate app. Siri could also be used to check for schedule conflicts, schedule appointments, and set an alarm.

Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.

Jobs died "peacefully," surrounded by family members, his family said in a statement.

Neither Jobs' family nor Apple revealed where he died or from what cause, though in recent years Jobs had fought a form of pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant.

"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
