Confused by the whirlwind of Apple news from today’s Let’s Talk iPhone event? Don’t worry. We got a quick break down of all the new stuff Apple released today, including details on the iPhone 4S, Siri, iPod Nano and the highly anticipated Cards app.

iPhone 4S – Looks just like the iPhone 4 but the guts have been revamped for speed. The  new A5 chip (Same chip in the iPad 2), has a dual-core CPU making it 2x as fast at CPU tasks. Graphic performance on the iPhone 4S will be Up to 7x faster in the previous iPhone. 8 hours of 3G talk time, 14 hours of 2G talk time, 6 hours on 3G browsing. Also of note, the wireless system in the phone has been updated to include two separate antenna. iPhone 4S can intelligently switch between antennas to transmit and receive. This will lead to improved call quality and 2X faster download speeds (Apple was calling it 4G speeds, but we’ll save you the debate on what is and isn’t true 4G).

Apple has already updated its website with information about the iPhone 4S, including a video presentation.

Update: Reference to iPhone 4S now seems to be gone, but as you can see in the image above, it was there just a few minutes ago.

Update 2: And the Ginza Retail site leaked these images of the iPhone 4S, which look identical to the iPhone 4

Update 3: And there’s a launch date! 8AM on October 14th. Crazy.

The Apple Store is down, for pretty obvious reasons. When it goes back up, expect to see the iPhone 4S there, at the very least. Could we see new products on top of those, though? In an hour, we’ll know all.

The alleged victim of tactics used by Apple security employees seeking to recover an iPhone prototype is considering filing a lawsuit against the tech giant. Sergio Calderon, a 22-year-old San Francisco man claims Apple workers impersonated police officers during a search of his home.
