iPhone 4S unboxing

After hundreds of rumours, supposed leaks, educated guesses, and uneducated guesses, Apple's iPhone 4S has finally arrived on our doorstep.

The iPhone 4S - which looks exactly like the iPhone 4, in case you were wondering - comes packing the same A5 processor found in the iPad 2, a new and improved 8MP camera, 1080p video recording, and a mouthy personal assistant called Siri.

It does, of course, also come pre-loaded with iOS 5, which means you get Apple's new Notification Center, a BBM-esque service called iMessage, the ability to edit your photos, Newsstand for all of your magazine subscriptions, and much, much more.

Here's what one looks like fresh out of the box.

How it arrived. The pictures get better, we promise.

And we're off. This box looks just like the iPhone 4's box with an extra 'S' on it.

Isn't she beautiful? We ordered the white version so people wouldn't think we were still carrying around our black iPhone 4.

Your standard wall charger, USB cable, and Apple earphones.

This is what we all came to see. What are those stickers actually for? All suggestions welcome.

The iPhone 4S's - slightly - redesigned antenna, front-facing camera, and Retina display screen.

The Home button, 30-pin dock connector, speaker, and microphone that should be familiar to all of you. Especially if you have the iPhone 4.

Good luck getting your SIM in if you lose this little tool.

Your - not very - exciting 'lock' button and your 3.5mm headphone jack. Use the latter when you don't want to annoy grannies on the bus.

The new and improved 8MP camera - capable of 1080p video recording - and flash.

Exactly where it should be - in the midst of a death grip.

Its box goes to gather dust with the rest of them..
