Hey, that’s me on the local news talking about my new iPhone 4S

by Justin Horn on Oct 14th, 2011 @ 3:12 pm

No, I’m not cut out for live TV, especially on 2 hours of sleep after getting to the Apple Store in Miami Beach at 4AM.

This article, on local South Florida news channel WSVN, contains the live interview. They did a follow up (non-live) interview after which was edited in a video played later on the news at noon. In this video I got to show off Siri. Couldn’t find it online, so I’ve include a YouTube video of it below. It’s much better than the live one, that’s for sure!

And finally I showed my new iPhone 4S to Chuck Fadely from the Miami Herald

One thing I do right on this blog, iPhone 4S 1080p video storage predictions [Confirmed]

by Justin Horn on Oct 12th, 2011 @ 3:15 am

I recently predicted the iPhone 4S 1080p video storage “requirements”.

Turns out (surprise!!!) I was right.

Jim Dalrymple from The Loop responded to my Tweet asking about real world 4S video size (he’s famous enough to get a review unit…but not too famous to talk to small time bloggers via Twitter):

Me: @jdalrymple how close am I to the 1080p files size for the 4S? [Link to the above link ^]

Jim Dalrymple: @justin_horn 4:33 of video is 814.2MB

Doing some math…give me a minute (or 178.9MB) here… comes out to…

178.95 MB/Min actual vs my estimate of 177.98 MB/Min.

I say…close enough.

John Gruber…Daring Fireball: The iPhone 4S

This is the easiest product review I’ve ever written. The iPhone 4S is exactly what Apple says it is: just like the iPhone 4, but noticeably faster, with a significantly improved camera, and an impressive new voice-driven feature called Siri.

Jim Dalrymple…The Loop: Review: iPhone 4S

Much of the talk surrounding the introduction of the iPhone 4S is about Siri, Apple’s voice assistant technology.

After using Siri for a week, I can tell you it works just as good in real life situations as it did in Scott Forstall’s demo at the launch event.

Jason Snell…MacWorld: iPhone 4S review: It’s a sure thing

It’s a classic look, easily my favorite of all the iPhone designs to date. The fit and finish are immaculate; not a single thing about the iPhone 4S feels cheap. In terms of styling, the iPhone 4 feels like the most expensive electric razor ever made, or maybe like a finely-tuned luxury watch.
