Buy The iPhone 4S or An Apple Memory Upgrade?

It’s been called the most amazing iPhone yet. It boasts a faster A5 chip, a much improved 8 mega pixel camera and it runs the new iOS5 operating system. But, is the iPhone 4S a worthy investment or would the money earmarked for your cell upgrade be better spent on an Apple memory upgrade?

Even those without an iPhone at the moment are asking themselves, is now the time to make the switch and invest in the new model? Those with an existing phone are also being tempted in their millions, with users the world over taking to social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to debate the pros and cons of upgrading to the new model.

However, as with most new releases, those flushed with success of acquiring one of the new iPhone 4S models as soon as they have become available are reporting a mixed bag of comments, opinions and just whether it is worth upgrading or not. While the Apple iPhone 4S claims to have much better battery life, many users have reported that their power is not lasting as long as they would have hoped, particularly when email functions and social media sites are used frequently.

Anyone who has ever been stuck with an old PC or Mac will be able to relate to the frustration of poor battery life. While a memory upgrade can’t convince the machine to run off its battery longer, a fresh influx of additional Apple memory will make working on a Mac a much more streamlined, quicker and more efficient experience.

For those with an iPhone already, the technical tweaks of the 4S such as improved camera may not have much of a day to day impact – certainly not enough to justify the hundreds of dollars retail price for the handset. But, for less than $20 dollars, an Apple memory upgrade will lead to a noticeable improvement, whether you’re working on a newer MacBook Pro or an older iMac model.

Reasons to upgrade to the iPhone 4S

  • Voice activated SIRI personal assistant software
  • Dual core A5 chip makes for a better gaming experience if you play games on your iPhone
  • The 8MP camera is a step towards Apple’s goal of making point and shoot cameras obsolete, replaced by the ever present cell phone

Reasons to save money and upgrade your Apple memory instead

  • Already, iPhone 4S users have complained of poor battery life which means if you use your phone a lot of emails and internet browsing, the power will drain quickly. In this case, improving your existing PC or Apple with a memory upgrade will deliver a much better and more useful return on your investment
  • The iPhone 4S is not capable of WiMAX, HSPA or LTE 4G speeds. If speed is of the essence, this may not be the wisest way to spend your money. You’ll be better served sticking with a less expensive phone and setting $20 or so aside to turn your MacBook or PC into a speedier machine
  • The iPhone 4S is expensive. It’s available for around $199 in some States but there’s a minimum of $62 tax to add on plus the monthly cost of the voice plan needs to be supplemented with an additional data plan. PC memory upgrades and Apple memory upgrades are available for little more than $10 and will give many of the benefits of the additional iPhone 4S features you’d be purchasing by swapping out your old cell for the newer model for hundreds of dollars less

Whether you choose to work from home, the library, a cafĂ© or a friend’s house, a flash drive makes it easy to save files and work on the go. It can then easily be printed off in school or continued at home.

New 8GB Samsung DDR3 Computer Memory Upgrade

If you are a student starting back at college or university looking for an upgrade for your computer system, an entrepreneur looking to start up a new business or just a parent looking to give the family computer a significant boost, a new computer memory upgrade could be just what you need. Computer memory upgrades are constantly evolving and changing, with newer models, more intelligent and more capacious than the last batch always arriving. One of the newest upgrades on the market is Samsung’s M471B1G73AH0-CH9 which is an 8MB DDR3-1333 SODIMM now available from Data Memory Systems.

The 8GB innovation from Samsung is compatible with a number of devices, including memory for the 2011 Mac Mini, 2011 MacBook Pro memory and 2010 and 2011 27" i5 and i7 iMacs memory.

The Samsung 8GB memory chip is DDR3, also known as ‘Double Data Rate 3 Synchronous Dram’ and is much faster than its predecessor, DDR2. The newer model can transfer data twice as fast as the older model, allowing much more efficiency than the earlier memory upgrades, although the two are not compatible. The DDR3 model also provides a reduction in power consumption for the growing energy-conscious contingent among us, requiring 30% less power than DDR2 memory. The DDR3 standard allows for 8 gigabit chip capacities, enabling a fantastic maximum memory module size of 16GB. With higher bus rates and higher peak rates than previous versions, DDR3 is proving a hit with computer experts and novices alike.

Data Memory Systems is offering the Samsung 8MB DDR3-1333 SODIMM for just $339.00, with a lifetime advanced replacement warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not entirely satisfied with the product. Data Memory Systems pride themselves on dependability and consistency, and so they have an in-house testing lab, examining and assessing components to ensure long-term reliability before they arrive at your door - DMS want you to be happy with your purchase.

With free technical support (no automated machines when you call), Data Memory Systems go above and beyond the demands of customer service to ensure they are the first stop for your PC or Apple memory needs.

DMS’ 20 years of quality and dedicated service pledges to be the first and last word in computer memory, but it is important to ensure that you are purchasing the right product for your model. If you are unsure, the website provides two memory checkers (one for PC and one for Apple) to guarantee that you will get the right upgrade for your device.
