The latest -- -- the iPhone four S trumped all previous iPhone sales records just in the first 24 hours despite the fact that it.

It's not called the iPhone five -- the big question today is it worth an upgrade here for this week's all things digital is.

Off our personal technology columnist at the Wall Street Journal while it's.

Well that's the next.

You thought that's perfect just listening today -- and like I guess that's it sounds like me every morning I'm not sure what you said it I call it is it's not artificial intelligence.

The -- you know I think -- -- -- program that they say that.

What is wrong with this woman -- I'm a afloat -- batted that -- my question you really find anything lot wrong with Syria the new artificial intelligence system -- same -- him frankly impressed with it well.

I'm I'm very impressed with that and but it's not perfect it's a beta it does sometimes misunderstand you.

There work and on it there are certain kinds of information they haven't yet.

Hooked it up to lake airline times or movie times things like that but.

What it does it does pretty well I can assure you an example absolutely.

Let's just try this might not work.

How is Apple's stock doing today.

Apple is currently at 408 dollars and 27 cents.

Pretty and then it shows me on the screen a chart.

You know with.

Exactly how much it's up and what it's 52 year.

Week high and low is and so forth and -- that -- other stocks second asked about the whether I can ask about other things.

And it and and I can ask in different ways I didn't have to say how is Apple Stock doing it -- said.

What's that let actors' consent Apple's stock -- what's Apple Stock look like Kirk I could try to slightly different way and it texting while sorry go ahead.

Is Apple Stock up.

Yes -- right now yeah.

So that's gonna senate if it if you're texting someone in the car something like that theoretically right did that I actually -- the date in from the from the from mud by dictating.

From a car this morning really what you're.

She's been on the air such a -- in our blackberries down have.

And a bucket volatility.

But -- detection medical and people a place like apple commercial in the Blackberry service doesn't work it.

About what -- -- Texas -- male bias there in -- -- patent.

All right so here's here's the deal on respond if if I can.

Be a little broader about it because you can see it's not changed at all looks identical to the iPhone four.

It's the same price and interestingly that's that's an interesting thing because.

A couple of the competitors are beginning to move there.

Flagship their entry price and their flagship phones up a hundred dollars.

And apple hasn't done that -- obviously have to Paper if you want more memory and bigger models but the base price still 199.

Outside pretty much identical inside.

Lots of things have changed.

You know new much faster processor it's an absolutely brilliant camera.

And I come on on the 1818 model although it's not technically labeled a four G phone it gets -- G download speeds.

If you're an ATT.

Customer.

It's also world phone so even if you buy -- Verizon or sprint version of it and as you guys know that.

Technology those networks use is not widely used around the world.

-- Rome.

Anywhere.

On G -- Around the world so those -- some of the the bigger hardware changes but.

Software change that is so unusual to see eerie artificial intelligence.

Walt would you upgrade.

That that's really the question that I personally am gonna upgrade but in my column I said.

If you have an iPhone four.

Which is a very good phone with a good -- not as good as this but a good camera.

I don't think you need to rush to upgrade.

Because you basically have.

You know that that the physically the the outward physical characteristics are the same.

I think if you have an iPhone three -- and I'm sorry I should point out.

If you have an iPhone four or an iPhone three G yes.

There's a new operating system here which has a lot of features like Twitter integration and photo editing built in support.

And you'll get that free anyway.

If you have an older -- -- iPhone that an iPhone four are you haven't moved to a Smartphone yet.

Then yes I think this is a very good value and I think it's it's an excellent -- And we'll talk to you all right and this gives somebody to talk to the car thank you wall it's always good to see you are restricted to see you guys thank you so much for being at Walt Mossberg of the lost.
