The iPhone 4S is currently the most advanced smartphone Apple has to offer.
It comes packed with a 1 GHz dual-core A5 chip under the hood.
This equates to more processing power when playing hardcore games, running high-definition videos, and multi-tasking.
It comes with an 8 megapixel camera that can record videos in 1080p (full HD).
It sports a 3.
5 retina display that sports the highest resolution on any handset.
The phone also comes with the voice-controlled personal assistant Siri that has taken the mobile world by storm.
Siri is exclusive to this smartphone.
If you're thinking this is all the phone has to offer, think again.
Since it is pre-installed with the latest iOS 5, it will allow you to make use of Apple's online storing service.
This is iCloud.
Here, you will get to know about the advantages of the service.
Are you one of those who love to purchase music, TV shows, and movies from iTunes? If this is the case, you are going to love using Apple's cloud storing service.
If you purchase media from iTunes onto the phone, you can share the film, show, or track across your iOS 5-powered devices such as your iPad.
As soon as you tap to buy, anything purchased will be shared across your devices.
This also works with apps.
Let's say you downloaded Angry Birds on your iPhone 4S and you want to play the game on your new iPad 4G.
Does this mean that you'll have to purchase the app all over again? The answer is no.
Apps are automatically shared across the iOS devices you own.
If ever the app doesn't show up on one device, all you have to do is download the app again on your purchase history at no extra charge.
Aside from apps, iCloud will also share books purchased from the iBookstore on your iPhone 4S to other devices running iOS.
Let's say you're totally engrossed reading a bestseller.
You realize you have to charge your phone after hours of reading.
You can charge the phone and tap on the iBooks app on your iPad.
You can download the book again on your tablet at no extra charge and continue reading.
The service also works the same way with documents, calendar, contacts, and mail.
It can also be used to backup the device.
The service has become so popular that Apple's rivals are beginning to make their own versions of the service.
An example is Samsung.
The Korean firm is said to have developed S-Cloud.
This is a similar online storing service that is rumored to launch pre-installed on the company's next flagship the Samsung Galaxy S3.
As you can see there are a number of advantages to be gained with iCloud on the iPhone 4S.
It will allow you to share content stored on your smartphone to any devices running iOS or vice versa.
