A Hands On Look At IOS5 On The New iPhone 4S … The launch of the new iPhone 4S has been timed to coincide with the release of Apples latest version of their operating system.

By pressing this icon you can immediately launch the phones camera application which can save invaluable time if you need to capture the moment.
